Has anyone been watching the series called 'Project Blue Book"? Takes place in the late 40's early 50's so far. Cars are totally awesome from that era.

Yeah. Fun to spot the cars even if the car years are sometimes out of sync.

The new TNT series "I am the Night" has a lot of cars from the mid sixties and earlier, but.....
there seems to be a disproportionate number of Ford Falcons and FoMoCo cars, at least in the first "Pilot" episode. A word of caution, this is a very intense and dark series.

Yes! Love it! And it's great spotting the aircraft.

I wonder why the Chevy used in episode 5 has a headlight out?
Was this the car that they crashed the gate at the air base with? BTW, I read the book in junior high.

Didn't know they wrote a book?? Hmmm And I do believe it's a different car? Or is my memory that far off. Program was only three days ago. Duh!

J. Allen Hynek was a real dude, but he didn't write the book.
Just skimmed the Wiki page on him - quite a career, much of which was legit astrophysics. But he was the guy who developed the "close encounter" classification system, and worked with Spielberg on his UFO epic. Get this: he had a cameo in it - near the end of the film when everyone comes out to meet the aliens, he's the guy with a beard and a pipe in his mouth!
