How many colectors have one of these?

[hi_volt]

I've got the entire set of three seasons on DVD. I remember watching the Outer Limits on my parent's old 23 inch blonde B&W set when I was 4-5 years old back in 62-63. It scared the Hell out of me, and I LOVED it. Actually, thinking back, I'm kind of amazed they let me watch.

The end credit theme song is, IMHO, the coolest one ever and takes me back 50 years whenever I hear it.

I watched Outer Limits on our Hoffman when I was a kid. I think Galaxy Being is my favorite episode.
I read where the network and the producers were often at odds about how scary to make the show. The network wanted the "guy in a rubber suit" type of monsters. They had to be scary, but not too scary; just scary enough. I guess a lot of the really good stuff was rejected because either it was too creepy, in poor taste for TV back then, or was too expensive.

I love the Control Voice intro in those early episodes

No! She's one of the Good Ones. And she's a real '58 Fury, not a clone.

And, she's just about perfect.

There was a '58 Fury that lived across the street from me when I was a kid. Don't remember it ever EATING/KILLING anybody..

I LOVED the MoPar's with fins... I had a '57 Dodge, and the fins started in the middle of the back seat doors! Beautiful concept!!

Before the movie, I never saw a '58 Plymouth eat anything, besides gasoline.

continuing off topic but I can't help it...someone said the M-word
I had a Red Fury II, about 15 years newer with the 440-4BBL "U" code engine, that killed MANY gallons of gas. When the secondaries opened, you could hear the entire Persian Gulf give a cheer! I safely hauled consoles in the trunk. There was a white one in the movie "Prom Night"

Hehehehe...A couple guys here had one of the low-line 2 door sedans, painted it DAY-GLO orange, rigged it up where the steering wheel was in the back seat, & completely de-chromed it...They got away w/it until some little old lady tripped & broke her ankle while coming down the steps of the post office, trying to cypher it out...The cops told them to fix it back, which they did..

It don't get much better than this. And if I ever get to Worcester, Mass, I will beg for a ride

Yeah, that's the real deal...

No Lee, I think it was like a Savoy 4 door sedan with a dent in the door. Yours is much nicer.

Car crash scenes are funny sometimes on many shows as someone will be driving a 1962 that will turn into a 1955 when it goes off the cliff.....

[AiboPet]

Or a Boeing 727...that turns into a 747...and then lands as a Tristar, and is later sitting at the gate as a 767 :-P

...Or the Infamous Ominous Big Black Mercury on "Hawaii 50" that magically "Time-Shifted" back 'n' forth between 1968 & 1974...THAT had to be an intentional "Goof" on the part of the show's producers..

[ggregg]

In the pilot episode, Jack drove a 1967 Marquis fastback 2 door hardtop. After that he drove the 1968 Park Lane 4 door hardtop that most people remember, at least for the first couple of years. But every once in a while you would see a clip of that 67 go by and then he got out of the 68. The cars were very similar and only one year apart but the roofs were completely different. This was even in the first year. I heard it explained once that filming in Hawaii wasn't all that cheap so they cut corners when they could. Still, all in all, another great show from the past and that Mercury was a good lookin' car, both of em.

The episodes Sandy is talking about are almost comical. Completely different bodies, etc. The only things in common were both were made by Ford and both were black.

Hehehe...Yeah, I whined, wheedled, held my breath, & big-dealed my parents into a '67 Colony Park...I wanted a Lincoln, but my dad said "No Way," he couldn't afford a Lincoln...So he bought a '68 250 SE Mercedes instead...Hey Henry, DON'T try to bullshit yer Son..ESPECIALLY if he was a full-blown, consumate Car Nut, like I was...Anyhow, yeah, the 1967 & '68 full-size Mercs were very different...Even accounting for the Federal side-lites & stuff. We traded the '67 on a '71 Colony Park, this time they DID get the vinyl roof...I was somewhat mollified.
