Once in a while, the cast or crew would be asked to park their own cars on the backlot when a scene required more than the usualy number of cars. Probably 99% of the cars on The Show were Ford products, but in addition to Howard's Chevy we also saw Jim Lindsey's Mercedes, the governor's and Bobby Fleet's Cadillacs, and in a few episodes a Volkswagen Beetle can be seen on the streets of Mayberry. Then once Sam Jones took over the town council, suddenly everybody in town seemed to favor Chrysler products!

Obviously there was the occasional >>>exception like Howard Sprague's '64 Chevy.
