The 1960s were great days for television, especially if you were a teenager.

Programs were both creative and outlandish. A comic book hero, an amiable family of monsters, secret agents and a goofball rock band all scored big hits.

So did their rides, in air, on land and under sea. Here’s rating the 1960s transports. And sorry ... Jed Clampett's hillbilly truck did not make the cut!

10: The Songbird — How’s this for a dramatic opening: A small, fast airplane with roaring engines banks away from the camera ... “From out of the clear blue of the Western sky . . .comes Sky King!” says the breathless announcer.

“Sky King” was probably the oddest Western hybrid of all. Rancher Sky used his sharp Cessna to solve all sorts of trouble. The show was produced during the 1950s but ran in syndication on Saturday afternoons during the ‘60s.

9: Monkeemobile — Never a big fan of “The Monkees,” but the jazzy, red Pontiac GTO with the convertible top looked fun to drive. But anyone over 30 behind the wheel would have looked like an idiot.

8: The U.N.C.L.E. Car — James Bond’s Aston-Martin had the spy car market covered during the 1960s, but the television spin-offs that copied Bond’s stories also tried to copy the British agent’s wheels. And while I am an avowed fan of “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” the AMT “Piranha” was no
Aston-Martin.

I kind of think the plastic-heavy concept car — which diehard UNCLE fans have learned rarely worked on the set — was built for the hobby model gang. It had those great gull door wings — they flipped up, not sideways — but not much else. Still, I can’t rank it behind the Monkeemobile.

7: The Enterprise — If I had to move fast, I’d book the Enterprise. Even sub-light speed would get me from Albany to Rochester in about two minutes. Television and movie fans had never seen the likes of “Star Trek’s” physics-defying starship before, and the 1960s ship remains the best version from the saga’s long TV and cinema lifespan.

6: The Saint’s Volvo — Roger Moore’s dapper British trouble-shooter had his share of car chases. Good thing he had a stylish and speedy Volvo in his garage. Great-looking machine!

5: The Seaview — Keep your yachts and speedboats. If someone had given my the keys to the Seaview, the nuclear-powered submarine from “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,” I would have found the Titanic long before 1985. The observation windows at the bulbous head of the ship were novel touches for an underwater giant. The “Flying Sub” — possibly the worst travel innovation of 1960s television — would have been dropped into Davy Jones’ locker.

4: Munster Koach — The family car for Herman, Lily, Grandpa and Eddie — “The Munsters” — was part drag racer and part hearse, all in funeral black and red. Looked like a comfortable ride, if sitting in a coffin on wheels can be comfortable. And I loved those square candle holders in front, where the headlights were supposed to be. Uncle Fester and the rest of “The Addams Family” must have been very jealous.

3: Sunbeam Tiger — Maxwell Smart was an imbecile, but he got one thing right — the compact red Sunbeam Tiger, seen during the opening of each “Get Smart.” Peppy and sporty, at the same time. How did the “U.N.C.L.E.” guys miss this one?

2: The Batmobile — You can read all about Adam West’s cool television car in today’s Sunday Gazette. Even though the fictional car was redesigned for both the Michael Keaton 1989 and 1992 “Batman” movies, and the new Christian Bale films, the 1966 Lincoln Futura equipped with parachutes, siren light and three exhaust pipes near the trunk — always wondered what they did — still looks pretty sharp today.

1: Black Beauty — Elegant and luxurious, the Green Hornet’s “rolling arsenal” has also maintained its’ cool over the years. Green headlights, rockets, smokescreen — might have given the Aston-Martin hell in a fair fight. It also came with something every young car fan would have needed during the happy motoring days of the 1960s — a chauffeur.
