There was a series called San Francisco Beat. It was an early police show in S.F.(actually when S.F. was a great town) and the two detectives drove a 50 Ford Fordor. Also check out "To Please a Lady" with Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck. Great old movie about midget racing and going to Indianapolis. Will Geer(grandpa in the Waltons) is Gable's mechanic. Lots of old Fords in this movie. And check out "The Big Wheel" with Mickey Rooney. Another movie about auto racing and also has many old Fords in it.
