THE HONEY WEST VAN

Woodsy

I finished the two episodes of Burke's Law with Anne Francis as Honey West or Best.

It was interesting to see the vehicles in the early Burke's Law episode, not only does Honey have a Jaguar rather than a Cobra (which she also drives in one episode of her own series), but the surveillance van is different too.

Looking at Mark's amazing Honey West site, I found an old article from a Ford Motor Company magazine called Clues, aimed at those in the trucking industry. No idea how Mark managed to find this, but it has an article in it on the Honey West van.

The best part being that the photos are in colour - the Econoline van is light blue, with mainly yellow lettering on the side. If you have not seen this before, it is well worth a look.

There is also a short clip on You Tube, which is a brief history of Honey West. While it does not offer anything new, it is a good potted history lesson, and includes plenty of stills
