The "Leave It To Beaver" show started on (I believe)
CBS, and F*rd provided the cars in those years. The
MoPar tie-in started when the Beav moved to ABC.
The Cleavers got a new Fury 4drHT every year, while
the Rutherfords got a new Dodge 4drHT every year.
There was also about a 3-year period where a '59
DeSoto passed in front of Wally and the Beav as they
were walking home during the closing credits...
I remember being annoyed when the "Still The Beaver"
TV movie came out in the '80s because June Cleaver was
driving a C*tlass Ciera...
