There was a lot of musical talent on Hee Haw every Saturday night. Our family never missed the show. My uncle knew Junior Samples and ended up with the original vehicle featured on the show in his car dealer ad. The one with the dealer telephone number BR-549.
My cousin ended up with the truck and drove my aunt to our family reunion in it for the last one she attended. I can’t remember the make and model but it was old back when I last saw it 25 years ago. However, they had kept it in great shape.
The Samples’ skit used a number of trucks over the years. The oldest was probably a Model T. Another one was an early ‘50s Chevy, I’d guess.
The band BR-549 is underrated.
