   I noticed the TV series mentions at the bottom of the page. Maverick of course is a well known western starting James Garner (and Jack Kelly and occasionally a then unknown, Roger Moore). So, any Jeeps seen would have been only in cimmercials. Hong Kong started Rod Taylor (The Birds, Bearcats! and a bunch of stuff ranging from John Wayne to Doris Day films) and was set in modern Hong Kong so perhaps they used Jeeps in that series. I have seen a publicity photo of Taylor at home with his cars, one was a Jeep, so perhaps that was a tie-in or gift from his sponsor.

   John, Yes, good points. You'll probably find this post about the Hong Kong series interesting: https://cj3b.info/Siblings/SurreyGold.html - Dave
