"Honey West" TV Show

[BenL]

I recently stumbled across an American TV show from 1965/1966 called "Honey West". It's about a female private detective named Honey West, played by Anne Francis.

The reason why I mention the show is that she drives a 289 Cobra. The third episode begins with a car chase between a Porsche 356, a Jaguar VIII, and the Cobra. So far I've just watched the first three episodes, and this is the best of them. The show is entertaining, but a bit dated. 30 half hour episodes aired before the show was canceled. The network replaced it with "The Avengers".

Anne Francis ("Honey West") drove the white 289 AUTOMATIC Cobra in the series. Note how she jumps into the car with high heels!

The 289 Cobra is such a pretty car. Loved the car phone too! I had one similar to that!

That phone sure made LIGHTNING QUICK 'connections', didn't it! (And evidently it worked w/o an antenna, too!)


Here's a pic of the VHF(!) mobile phone I had back in '78. Some of you will remember P.I. "Dan Tanna" had one of these in his '57 'Bird (scroll down to the white "Pulsar II" phone about 1/2 way down the page):

Did they "dub in" the 'stick' sounds then? (I dunno. Just asking!)
