On the drive home from work last night, Andy of Mayberry passed me.
Well, not Andy himself, but his squad car.
Well, not the car didn't pass it on its own--it was riding on a trailer behind a big white pickup.
Still, what a surprise it was to see that car, like a flash from the past. Complete in black and white glory, emblem on the door and light on the top.
The car I saw looked exactly like these pictures from the website Mayberry Squad Car Replicas. It's owned by Steve Russell in Charleston, SC, according to the website. (I couldn't take a picture of the one I saw because I was passing it at about 70 mph, and you know it's just not safe to try to take pictures at a time like that.)
Who knew that people do this for a hobby, have get-togethers and contests and such? You cna even go to Mt. Airy and ride around in one--for a fee, of course.
