Ford made a few market-specific specials. There was the California Special, and I think there was some kind of one for Colorado.
 
Edit-checked it out, the end of the California Special run ('68) was reallocated to the Colorado area, called the High Country Special.

Mr. Dixon's car (Room 222) by sad_chair

From Room 222, a TV show on ABC in the early '70s: the teacher's convertible, about 41 seconds into the video. What is it? I am guessing a Dodge Dart but my confidence is low.

How about "Valiant"? Somewhere mid 60s? That front fender says "Plymouth."
 
65 Valiant looks a little different, so 1964?

Definitely a Valiant 'vert, '65 or '66.

That's the car. In one frame there's a flash of the pattern of the grill. The sides of the grill have the same shape as the blue on in the picture.
 
What does it say on the side above the wheel? Is that "Plymouth" or something else?

Yeah, that's it all right. I forgot about the Dart's cousin from the Plymouth family. Thanks everyone

The were very similar. I think the Dart was on a slightly stretched chassis:

I see three readily identifiable cars in this scene, and enough of others to take a stab.>
