The show was on in ‘65 when I was 7. Gotta read slower.

I watched this show with my dad, my mom and my older brother. You didn’t have to be a male to enjoy it!

[cubreporter]

And well deserved too. He was the best. He played that role as he should have. Professionally, fairly and...he was clean cut looking, sharply dressed and believeable. Congratulations to Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. Kudos.

Also important note: his daughter is Stephanie Zimbalist, who was the incredibly hot detective chick in Remington Steele

[cubreporter]

He always was. Just look at his eyes and you can see his quiety dignity.

It's ok, it was all that finely aged testosterone smiling at you from those pictures, now wasn't it? lol

[OKSooner]

I can hear the theme music right now.

A Quinn-Martin production...

Oh absolutely, I read that Efrem Zimbalist Jr. had a recurring role on Remington Steele but I honestly don't remember seeing him (i'm embarrassed now), PROBABLY because I was checking out Stephanie.

In a wholesome, clean living way of course. (don't want to dis the daughter of Inspector Lewis Erskine now!)

I was 6 in ‘64 so I didn’t appreciate the cars then. I’d love to get my hands on a ‘65 Mustang!

I was 6 in '64 also. I remember asking my dad to buy me a '65 Mustang convertible and put into storage until I was old enough to drive. He laughed. Years later he told me he wished he had bought that stupid car.

I have owned 18 65 and 66 Mustangs, in all flavors and conditions. To this day I could dismantle one blindfolded.

[ArrogantBustard]

Stephanie ...

Yep. Recognised the name immediately, and looked it up. He's her dad.

I can see that you (like me) have blood that runs FoMoCo Blue in your veins, I salute you!

Both my father and one of his brothers were Special Agents, back when it meant something. My father told us a couple of times that Hoover had some deal with Ford. Every official Bureau car was a Ford. He also told me that they took out the Ford engines and replaced them with Chrysler power plants. The Ford cars simply lacked muscle.

Another story from the "old FBI". About 1951 two Special Agents were observed having a beer with their lunch. They were unemployed by the end of the day by Hoover's decree. An Agent had to have an impeccable public image....in those days.

The Zimbalist almost always stands next to the bass drummer

Of course, his dad sat closer to the bass.

Ba-dum-bump. Cshhh....

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I remember watching 77 Sunset Strip when I was a little girl. Dates me, huh?

[Maine Mariner]

Well in 1966, my parents bought the AMC version of the Mustang. The Marlin. Still have it; plan to drive it to the 50 year high school reunion in 2017.

[mkjessup]

You and me both, LOL

[gridlock]

You can’t play Sousa without a Zimbalist who is up on his game...

[mkjessup]

That Marlin is going to be worth more than any Mustang, IMHO, if only due to the dwindling numbers of them! AMC built some really tough cars during the Muscle Car Era, I particularly loved the '71 AMC Javelin SST:
