This is the second and final contribution of what I have on this classic series from my childhood, having culled these images from all of the Lassie DVDs I could find. If anyone has any other images from any other episodes that should be here, please post away.

First of all, some alternate shots of a car that's already on the site:

Ford Model T. This is a three star vehicle.

19.11

1962-3? Chevrolet pickup, one star

I forget the model name...

.. but this is no Loadstar. The one after it is, however.


Now for some of the others(and I will edit this message often):

1955-56 Plymouth.



Looks more like a 1951-53 Dodge to me, but then again it's pretty dark.




International Harvester R-Series.



I'm not so sure this is a GMC. Something about that grille makes me think it's a 1960-61 Chevrolet medium-duty C-Series. Then again, the second one looks like it has a GMC-type cowl insignia, and there's another one in front of it, so maybe that's the GMC of the same period.


Jeep CJ-5.



Actually, this is a converted Panel Truck, not a suburban. And it's from 1964.


This Greyhound bus is a 1964-65 MCI MC-5 Challenger.


Finally, with the "dogleg" windshield pillar, and the smoother hoodline, this Chevy pickup is either a 1962 or 1963.

I should do a whole separate post on all the Dodge Pickups on this thread.

***I should do a whole separate post on all the Dodge Pickups on this thread.***

Cool, because here's yet another one I forgot to post.

ep. 15.3

Dodge (D series?), two stars

If you're talking about the top photo, the vehicle in front of it is the Ford C-series.

***Looks more like a 1951-53 Dodge to me, but then again it's pretty dark.***

...and that darkness is very unfortunate. A dark, perhaps even black truck with a black grille was probably not the best choice for a poorly lit nighttime scene on a black and white TV show. The substandard film-to-video transfer probably didn't help either.

TV boy, you have just done the world a tremendous service by posting your captures of this heartwarmingly wonderful series. (Enough superlatives?). I have a nearly complete collection of episodes myself, both on VHS and DVD recordings. I also own the 50th anniversary boxed set. If there are any episodes that you would be interested in, please pm me or send mail to my email. The address is, with no spaces between words, only to prevent the use of spam bot software, the following:

Thank you for reading this.

Thanks for the kind words, 58 R. Yes, that 50th anniversary set is a real treasure. The vehicles I still wish I could get are the '72 Dodge pickup from the Holden Ranch (final season; a better one than the one I submitted) and the earlier model D series Ranger Corey drove. It seems like there was an episode in which he's hanging off a cliff on a rope tied to the bumper and the truck starts rolling forward, but Lassie drags a log in front of one of the tires and stops it. I think that one even had a camper on it.

I loved "Lassie" when I was growing up, and even though the plots kind of bordered on silly sometimes, it could really get you in the gut. That three parter where Lassie gets lost and finds her way back to Timmy put a lump in my throat...and a lot of car images on this site. I have memories of watching the Corey episodes on CBS on Sunday nights and remembered there being a lot of trucks and cars on the show, but there were even more than I realized.

Yes, it wasn't as cut and dry like some other shows at the time. Like all Fords or all Plymouths, etc. There was a blonde young lady in the Timmy era that always had a 57 Bel Air convertible. I think it is in the hot rod episode where Lassie saves a family of, let's see...coons? The episode with the traveling rodeo guy with his horse had a 57 or 58 Mercury Commuter to tow his trailer. And in the episode "Desperate Search," the blinded boy's family drives a 1956 Plymouth Suburban. Lastly, that white '60 Ford Wagon was used in several Timmy-era episodes, including the car belonging to Joey's father (of the blinded boy) in "Desperate Search," and, in the next episode in the series, as the gas company surveyers in the episode to save Mr. Cully's barn, "Home Within A Home."

I'm sure you know of this site, if it still exists.

The shot I submitted of the '57 Bel Air, did indeed come from the episode where the hot rodder runs over Timmy's pet raccoon (Lassie viciously attacks the guy in his hot rod!). And I did get a very faint glimpse of the '60 wagon in the one about Timmy's go-cart.

I'm wondering if the '56 Plymouth I just submitted is that same Suburban you just mentioned?

Probably, I would have to see the index of your boxed set collection. I like the fact that the show was not unrealistic when it came to use of vehicles, like everyone in the neighborhood having a Chrysler product of some kind.

Now the Dodge pickups;

1965 or 1966.



Either in 1967 or early-1968.


1970 or 1971.

These do look like D-Series trucks, but you'd think being part of the U.S. Forest Service, they should've been W-Series trucks.

Now this one;

If it's not a '72, it's a later one. I'd like if if you could get a better shot of it myself, but I can see just enough that it is a D-Series.

***If it's not a '72, it's a later one. I'd like if if you could get a better shot of it myself, but I can see just enough that it is a D-Series.***

This is from the episode "Run to Nowhere, Pt. 1" that first aired in most U.S. TV markets in November 1972. So the latest it would be would be 1973.

If that's the case, then this is strictly a '72. Considering the time that TV studios actually make movies and TV shows before the actual release dates, this episode was probably made earlier in the year when there weren't any '73's out yet.

Under those circumstances I also think that other blue one is a '71 for sure. It coincides with a format change for the 1971-72 season and seemed to make its first appearance when the Holden Ranch itself did.

The "1955-56 Plymouth wagon" is a 1956.
The "1951? Ford" is definitely a '51.
