You're absolutely right! I've especially always liked the part during the
closing credits (of later shows, I believe) where the Beav is walking along,
half in/half out of the gutter, and Wally has to yank him out of the way
before he gets flattened by a '59 DeSoto "careening" around the corner
in it's inimitable fashion! But then of course I AM just a little biased.
