Farley, a diehard “Andy Griffith Show” fan, recently started a part-time business in which he gives country rides in his Galaxie — a spot-on replica of Sheriff Andy Taylor’s squad car on the classic show. “The one on the show was actually flat black and flat white paint,” Farley noted. “They didn’t want the glare.”
Farley will have his car available for $20 rides from 2 to 6 p.m. May 12 and 1 to 5 p.m. May 20 at Clifton Mill, and from 2 to 6 p.m. May 13 and May 19 at Young’s Jersey Dairy. Rides also can be booked via MyMayberryRide.com. The car, which Farley bought 10 years ago for $1,575 and restored, has been graced by many actors who appeared on the show.
To date, 33 actors, from the late Don Knotts to Jim Nabors, have autographed the car’s visors.
