***I'm not sure of the manufacturer and model but I posted some screen captures
on Mayberry Historical Society for the all the official car identification
notifiers out there. ***

That appears to me to be a 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner convertible.  I think I 
once 
called it a '56 here on the forum and several people piped right up and 
corrected me,
surprised I haven't heard from them yet.  But they were right, it was indeed a 
'55.

Mayberrians were apparently Ford people mostly; although Ford supplied new cars 
for the
show, even many of the featured older ones turn out to be Fords, like this one 
or 
Barney's deal he got from "Hubcaps" Lesch, or Emmett's '59 Ford pickup.  I'm 
guessing
the same dealer who provided the squad cars provided a few extras from its used 
car 
division.  Obviously there was the occasional exception like Howard Sprague's 
'64 Chevy. 

Love the shot of Frances Bavier's real world car, the Studebaker.
