On the show "Get Smart" what kind of car was Maxwell Smart shown driving during the opening theme (actually there were two different cars)?

Up way to early today so how about this one:
In the classic TV western "Wanted: Dead or Alive", Steve McQueen played a bounty hunter. What was this character's name & what did he call his weapon? (a sawed off Winchester I think)

Another western from the 1950's......"Have Gun Will Travel" (first adult western)

Damn devil, you were up early today! I don't remember what he called but I do remember him using it. That was a pretty cool weapon.
You're waking up brain cells in my head that I haven't accessed in 50 years! That show had to be the mid to late 50's.

Wanted:Dead or Alive Tidbits

Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) was a man of few words. A bounty hunter by trade, he tracked his prey all over the West.

Randall carried an 1892 44/40 center fire Winchester carbine that he called "Mare's Laig." It handled like a revolver by had the punch of a rifle.

Unlike other bounty hunters, Randall had scruples. He tried to bring the prisoner in alive and often found himself called upon to protect people in need.

In 1960 the character of Jason Nichols (Wright King) was added to help Randall out.

The show made a star of Steve McQueen, who unlike many Western stars, would go on to a memorable film career.

Haven't done this in a while. I wonder if there are still any "Old Timers" out there like me!


Anyone remember the sponsor of Superman, with George Reeves in the 1950's?

Captain Midnight's sidekick's name?
