The Other Side of the Coin - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Corby arrests Kimble outside the boarding house, the front door is open and the porch light is on. In the next shot, as they get in the car and drive away, the house door has closed itself and the porch light is off. (00:27:55)
Factual error: Madison's 1966 Lincoln Continental is equipped with a car phone, a luxury that, in the 1960s, required a very large external antenna. Somehow, though, Madison's phone works without one. (00:47:45)
Visible crew/equipment: When Laurel's sister comes to Kimble's hotel room to confront him, an equipment shadow moves across one of the walls, and is reflected in the mirror behind them. (00:06:50)
All the Scared Rabbits - S3-E7
Plot hole: Peggy's old car is left behind in town when the police pick up Kimble and drive him out to the country house in their cruiser. No one goes back for Peggy's car, yet it's somehow back at the house at the end, just in time for Kimble to escape in it. (00:38:40 - 00:45:55)
Audio problem: When the mayor stalks out of Vilattic's office, we hear the sound effect of the door slamming before it actually closes. (00:14:00)
Continuity mistake: Kimble is wounded in the leg and is limping badly when he escapes at the end. Yet in the epilogue, supposedly occurring soon after, he's walking down a road with no sign of the limp, and has also acquired a cowboy hat that he didn't have before. (00:45:50)
Continuity mistake: The captured Kimble lies face down on the ground and rests his head on his folded arms. When the shot cuts to a close-up, however, he's suddenly resting on his elbows and looking up instead. (00:13:00)
Continuity mistake: The leaves sticking to the back of Kimble's coat change positions completely between takes. (00:40:00)
Second Sight - S4-E7
Plot hole: Kimble enters the bar in the midst of a fight between photographer Howie and a man he tried to blackmail. Kimble comes in too late to hear what the scuffle is about, yet after breaking it up, he somehow knows all about the incriminating photo that sparked it. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: Kimble's nephew Billy is mistakenly listed as "Bobby" in the end credits.
A Clean and Quiet Town - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: The one-armed man, whose name was earlier established to be Fred Johnson, is for some reason re-named Cramer in this episode's credits. (00:49:40)
In a Plain Paper Wrapper - S3-E29
Factual error: Even though it's Sunday, Gary is somehow able to pick up a package at the post office, which is open when it shouldn't be. (00:27:40)
Continuity mistake: We're told here that 4 jurors held out for a not-guilty verdict at Kimble's trial. In "Search in a Windy City," it was said to be 3 jurors. (00:27:20)
Last Second of a Big Dream - S2-E30
Continuity mistake: Kimble is locked in a tiger cage with a waffle-pattern wire mesh. But when he asks the major for help and the shot cuts to a close-up, Kimble is behind ordinary vertical bars, and the mesh has disappeared. (00:37:20)
Revealing mistake: Matt Mooney pulls open the freight car's door, and we can see the swiftly passing landscape outside, but not a hair on his head is disturbed by the wind. Rear screen projections don't generate much of a breeze. (00:10:05)
Continuity mistake: The one-armed man orders Chandler to get up off the ground. In close-up, we see him sit up. But in the very next shot, he's flat on his back and sits up again. (00:11:50)
Visible crew/equipment: Gerard drives away in his '64 Ford Galaxie, and the side of the shiny new car captures a clear reflection of several studio lights and reflectors. (00:10:10)
Tiger Left, Tiger Right - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: We hear Pryor's half of the conversation with the kidnapper, then the tape of both their voices played back by the police. On the tape, Pryor's inflections and pauses are completely different from the "live" conversation. (00:28:30)
Visible crew/equipment: As Kimble gets into Gould's VW, the car door captures a fleeting but clear reflection of the film crew. (00:29:30)
Wife Killer - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: Barbara searches the one-armed man's wallet. We see an insert shot of two cards, both with the signature "Fred Johnson." But in the next moment, she claims that no two of the IDs are the same before saying, "Oh, wait, here are two." She then "finds" the cards she'd already found in the earlier shot. (00:18:00)
Answer: Production vehicle models aren't in sync with the calendar year. The '65 Mustang began production in March 1964 and first sold in April 1964, before it was "introduced" the following year. I don't know which model was seen in the episode, but the 2+2 fastback was sold in September 1964. The 1964 film "Goldfinger" uses a 1965 Mustang as part of Ford's product placement. Basically, in the 1930's, FDR ordered automakers to release vehicles in the fall of the preceding calendar year "as a means of facilitating regularization of employment in the industry." Now, automakers can release new models as early as Jan 2 of the preceding year.
