Growing up on reruns of the Andy Griffith show I was saddened to learn
of the passing of the soft spoken Sheriff of Mayberry. The Adventures of
Andy, Barny, and Opie would transport you to a small town in a
different time. But one thing that always stuck out were the great cars
that were always a major part of the show, from the classic Galaxie
Squad Car, to the everyday rides that would be cursing the streets of
Mayberry, like the 53 Ford that Barry bought with sawdust in the
transmission.
Here are some shots of the great cars that we got to see as part of the show.
