Replica of the cruiser from the Andy Griffith Show

Size: 1280×960

This is a replica in Mt. Airy of the Ford police cruiser from the Andy Griffith Show. Andy Griffith played the sheriff of the tiny North Carolina town Mayberry, while Don Knotts played Barney, his bumbling deputy. The actor Andy Griffith grew up in Mt. Airy, and for this reason, the town is nicknamed “Mayberry” after the town in the show. The area sports many Andy Griffith themed attractions.
