I just love these old 1970s car chases and car crashes

1972 Mercury Marquis, 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible, 1965 Cadillac Sedan DeVille,1969 Oldsmobile Toronado are featured in this clip from Chips.

There’s just something about car chases along California freeways in the 1970s that’s magical.

Isn’t that Rose Nylund’s little person farmer father?

Dr Jonathan Newman… He’s a little…late but we’re delighted to have him here.

The car chase scenes in What's Up Doc are legendary.

OP- This is perhaps my favorite car chase scene- too bad about that beautiful 1973 Pontiac Grandville being demolished during the car chase.

Bullitt with Steve McQueen is a classic.

The elderly man driving who was being harassed by the two kids is Billy Barty. He acted in some of Roger Corman’s B-movies.

Thanks R7. He did play Edgar Lindstrom in the Golden Girls. Season 1 Episode 13: "A Little Romance".

This is a good campy one. Hysterical hammy woman in Mercedes gets robbed by roughneck tow truck driver.

While Tiffany acts like a pillowcase in the same Pinto and gets run off the road.

I love all those movies with chase scenes in San Francisco the best.

Then there's THE CAR

Every episode of CHiPs had a twenty car pileup...on a side street with a 25 mph speed limit. And a car always sailed through the air.

I watched TV in Italy once. Saw Guiding Light and CHIPs

It’s from 1985, but I love the chase from To Live and Die in LA.
