Among the least notable events of 1963 was the first airing of Petticoat Junction on CBS. The second of the network’s “rural” shows, Petticoat Junction would join The Beverly Hillbillies, which was introduced for 1962, and be run alongside Green Acres, which would debut in 1964.
New-car shoppers had plenty to choose from in 1963. Along with the expected array of domestic products, European imports were making ground in the U.S., especially Volkswagen.
