Topic: Three Men and a Car - Winfield "Reactor" to Shatner and York and...?

[Otto Puzzell]

Here's how this one works. Identify the three men pictured (easy; no points) and a singular automobile with which each of three can be connected.

Identify that automobile, and, for the point, include one photograph each of each man pictured with the car. If you can supply a (non photo-shopped) picture of two of the men with the car at the same time, you will receive two points. All three men with the car, in the same un-retouched photo? Three points.

Enjoy!

All right. I recognized these three lads, found an obvious but precise connection between them all, and another, less obvious but more precise, between two.
My question: is their connection with that car related to their professional life, or is it more of the private domain (like owning it).

Each came into contact with the car car in question within the context of their professions.

By "singular", you mean unusual?

[Otto Puzzell]

By "singular", you mean unusual?

I mean one, unique automobile.

Although they all appeared in the same TV show, it was not in the same episode. And I find none, or no film, where they are credited together. So: is the  photograph that you mention, showing those three with that car, an offscreen photo?

[Otto Puzzell]

Althuogh they all appeared in the same TV show, it was not in the same episode. And I find none, or no film, where they are credited together. So: is the  photograph that you mention, showing those three with that car, an offscreen photo?

I don't know if such a picture exists. The cruel beauty of this puzzle is this: The puzzler faces the internal challenge of "do I post the three individual pics, and take one "easy" point now (before somebody else steals the point), or find a combo picture and take two or three points?".

 

[Otto Puzzell]

To help you along, though the three appeared on different episodes of The Twilight Zone (and possibly other productions), they did not appear with the puzzle car on that program.

This may help. The first part is what I had noticed.

I don't know if such a picture exists.
 

  The mystery deepens again.

It's Gene Winfield's Reactor MachII.
Here is the picture with Dick York . I need a little time to find the one with Burgess Meredith, in the Batmann series probably, and William Shatner, in the Star Trek episode "Bread and Circuses".

[Ray B.]

And the last one

[Tom_I]

But that's not Burgess Meredith. It's Cesar Romero as The Joker, isn't it, with Eartha Kitt as Catwoman?

I'd got as far as Shatner and Dick York with this one, but still can't fit in the last piece.

[Otto Puzzell]

Looks like I've fumbled another one. Working from memory is not my strong suit, obviously.  

Point to Ray for the connection of the Winfield "Reactor" to Shatner and York.

I'll gladly pay another point if somebody can find a legit pic of the Catmobile (the "Reactor" with stick-on feline accouterments) with Romero Meredith.

Sorry, guys.  

[Oguerrerob]

Maybe this works, I'm not sure what you're looking for

[Otto Puzzell]

No - need Meredith, not Romero. Corrected, above.

[Ray B.]

I was too fast too. I forgot that he played the Penguin, not the Joker.
Here is a picture of Meredith in a car, in Batman. The "Birdmobile", which is how he seems to call the Batmobile here.

[Ray B.]

Did I get my two points or just one? I'm not claiming the third.

[Otto Puzzell]

I gave you one point - the going rate for a pic or multiple pics with only one mystery man each.

I'm tempted to give you another point for the Birdmobile.

[Ray B.]

All right, Otto. I wasn' t sure that I had read you well. If you're asserting that there is somewhere a photograph of two of these guys (or even three) with the Reactor, whether the third one is Burgess Meredith or Cesar Romero, I haven't come across yet, and I sure would like to see them. All I have is a photo of Romero AND Meredith, but without the car.

[Oguerrerob]

Bewitched cast with Winfield's Reactor. I think Meredith is behind the wheel

[Tom_I]

Sorry, but that's not Burgess Meredith. This is from the episode of Bewitched called "The Super Car".

That's Dick York as Darrin Stephens on the left. Next to him is his boss Larry Tate played by David White, and the man in the car is their client Mr Sheldrake, played by Irwin Charone.
