What make and model car did Darrin Stephens drive in the first season of Bewitched?

[SusieDerkins05]

Any response is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[Larry Tate]

In the first 4 seasons of the show there were two sponsors
for Bewitched, Quaker Oats & Chevrolet, so as a result all of the
cars on the show were from the sponsor Chevrolet.

In addition there were commercials of specific cars as part of the
original sponsor animated openings that were used when the show originally aired.

In season one, Darrin drove a Chevelle/Malibu convertible, 1964. In the later Dick York years, he usually drove a Camaro '67-'68. Larry Tate usually drove an Impala/Caprice.

Larry also drove a corvette if I'm not mistaken.

The Stephens Family also had a station wagon. In the episode in which astroturf is mistakenly laid down to replace their lawn, Samantha is driving a blue convertible while Darrin (Dick York) drives the station wagon.

Saw this on a Message Board, nice compilation, interesting information:

Here is the list of Darrin and Samantha's various cars during the eight year run. Also included are Larry Tate's cars.
This is the most accurate list I could compile.

As I noted before, the convertible seen in the pilot/episode #1 was a 1964 Ford Thunderbird due to the fact Chevrolet had not signed on as a sponsor until the show was sold to ABC in the fall of 1964. From episode #2 to #254 the Stephens were loyal customers at Westport's local Chevy dealer.

The only deviation from this was the 1970 Sierra Yellow Pontiac Bonneville convertible they drove in episode #203 "Salem Saga." I suppose the Avis desk at the Salem airport didn't have any Chevrolets available that day.

1.1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Super Sport convertible
(black & white season, color uncertain)-The Chevelle was
a new model in 1964 so Chevrolet was anxious to promote
it.

2.1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Super Sport convertible
(black & white season, color uncertain, darker than 1964
model)

3.1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa convertible
(black & white season, color uncertain)-The Corvair was
extensively restyled for 1965 so Chevrolet was eager to
have potential buyers see it.

4.1965 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe
(black & white season, color uncertain)This car was seen
in episode #26 "Driving Is the Only Way to Fly" and is
the car Harold Harold (Paul Lynde in his first Bewitched
appearance) taught Samantha how to drive in. The name
of the driving school was Reliable Driving School.

5.1966 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe
(first car in '66-'67 Color season)
Willow Green

6.1966 Chevrolet Impala station wagon
(appeared only in episode #90 "Soapbox Derby" driven by
Samantha to take Johnny Mills soapbox racer to the track)
Mist Blue

7.1967 Chevrolet Camaro convertible
(again, a new model this year to be heavily promoted)
Nantucket Blue w/white convertible top

8.1968 Chevrolet Camaro Rally Sport convertible
Grotto Blue w/white convertible top

9.1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours station wagon
(first seen being polished by Abner Kravitz in episode
#121 "My What Big Ears You Have" and seen that same
season later driven by, oddly enough, Darrin in episode
#131 "How Green Was My Grass")
Palomino Ivory

10.1969 Chevrolet Caprice Custom Coupe
(car driven to rush Samantha to the hospital to give
birth to Adam)
Dusk Blue w/Dark Blue vinyl roof

11.1969 Chevrolet Camaro Rally Sport convertible
Rallye Green w/Black convertible top

12.1970 Chevrolet Impala convertible
(the car "Super Arthur" tried to drive)
Misty Turquoise w/Black convertible top

13.1970 Chevrolet Camaro Rally Sport coupe
(another restyled model to be promoted but seen in
episode #209 "Samantha's Pet Warlock)
Astro Blue w/Dark Blue vinyl roof

14.1971 Chevrolet Impala convertible
(seen only in episode #241 "Three Men and a Witch on a
Horse)
Tuxedo Black w/Black convertible top

15.1972 Chevrolet Impala convertible
(seen only in episode #249 "George Washington Zapped
Here, Part One)
Sequoia Green w/White convertible top

Larry Tate:

1.1965 Chevrolet Caprice Custom Sedan
(black & white season, color uncertain)The Caprice was a
new model for 1965 introduced in the middle of the model
year.

2.1966 Chevrolet Caprice station wagon
(black & white season, color uncertain)The 1966 Caprice
station wagon was Chevrolet's first wagon to use wood
side paneling since the early '50's. This car was seen
driven by Larry in episode #65 "Disappearing Samantha"
only. I guess Louise decided she, Larry and Johnathan
couldn't all fit in Larry's Corvette.

3.1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Goodwood Green

4.1968 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport Custom Coupe
(driven by Larry in episode #152 "Weep No More My
Willow")
Matador Red w/Black vinyl roof

5.1969-1970 Chevrolet Corvette convertible
(the one everyone associates with "Cotton Top")Last seen
in episode #247 "Serena's Youth Pill".
Daytona Yellow

That's about it as far as I know. Hope someone enjoys this. "See the USA in your Chevrolet!"

....General Motors' Chevrolet division was the primary sponsor during the first five seasons, with Quaker Oats as alternate sponsor [this is why there were so many breakfast scenes, and a lot of domestic animals seen from time to time- they owned 'Ken-L-Ration' and 'Puss 'n' Boots' pet foods as well]. Chevrolet was also the corporate sponsor of the annual "Soap Box Derby", and this is why an entire episode was focused around one in 1966. Even after their sponsorship ended in 1969, GM continued to provide Chevys for outdoor sequences (and that stray Pontiac during the Salem location in 1970). Bristol-Myers' Clairol division and Oscar Meyer were regular sponsors during the final three seasons.

[Larry Tate]

Actually the initial & Primary Sponsor for Bewitched was Quaker Oats & then
they brought Chevrolet in & they in effect split sponsorship of the show 50/50 for the first 4 seasons alternating week to week.

I am pretty sure that both stopped Sponsoring Bewitched after Season 4 & Kodak came in for Season 5.

As well Ban, Bufferin, & Excedrin were sponsors the last 3 years.
