See? I just make stuff up. Probably was a Desoto. I don’t know what color though since all we had was black and white.
As they used to say in the Certs commercials…
Stop! You’re both right!
Apparently they used both a '55 Chrysler New Yorker wagon and a '55 Desoto wagon on the show.
Script continuity was never the forte of most TV producers in the '50s.

Interesting article. I just subscribed to Hemmings again. I dropped them because it was just too much every month to look at but they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse so decided to try it again for the cold winter days coming.
Yeah, good point.

Details details but its got a windshield. It just folds down on the hood.
You couldn’t tell? It should have either been black, white, or grey!

It looked gray but I think it was pink.
Chrysler crossfire sounded okay to me and looked good too, but apparently a nightmare to own based on 2 of my friends. I think they might had been happier with an Aztek.
I had a Nellie Belle pedal car. I parked it behind my parents car and it got squished. My Father pounded it roughly back in to shape and I learned a valuable lesson at the age of four.
The first Sky King Songbird was a Cessna T-50 “Bamboo Bomber”. The second was (I think) a Cessna 310. I remember his Niece wink! wink! Penny.
I don’t remember the plane but I sure do remember Penny {sigh}. I had a crush on her.
And in the Nellie Belle vein, I think Christine is a very pretty name.
Right on both aircraft. The second was a Cessna 310s to be exact.
It brings back memories…
… I pumped a lot of tane into Cessna 310 airplanes and most other civil aviation machines one can think of and a couple of antique/classic flying machines and former military ones, Taylor Craft, Air Coupes, Lakes, Cubs, DC3 (C-47), Tri-Pacer, Helio (Courrier and Stallion) Beech-18s, etcetera. I learned to fly in a Cherokee.
I was the preferred crank-starting guy for a Stearman, regularly hooked up starting voltage to an AT-6, and a guy had some kind of a Ryan ST monoplane (low-wing) with an “inverted” inline Menasco engine.
Unfortunately, I’ve even propped some planes. 
Fortunately, I still have all my limbs!

Here’s a few I like:
Mercedes
Lotus Elise
(Buick) Skylark
Mercury Monarch
Mercury Marquis
Just for fun I found a couple Sky King episodes on Youtube last night and partially watched them looking for the station wagon. By the by, Penny I guess died in her late 70’s a few years back. After Sky King, she wrote a book on manners for young people. She said the most important thing was to always be attractive. She was a little too old for me though at the time. I liked Annette.
MG is pretty car name when you consider the alternative… Morris Garage.
There’s something not as pretty with a car name having the word garage in it. It could be taken as a bad omen.

Lotus has some good names (in addition to Elise noted above):
Elite
Esprit
Evora
Elan
No offense, I guess that’s an example of “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” .

The Elise is another of my favorites. It’s been said that “you don’t get into an Elise, you put it on!”. There’s one in my neighborhood… but I can’t get into or out of those cars anymore.
Another of my favorites is the old Europa.
I see you’ve regained your lost “e”
congratulations!
