William Hopper owned a convertible like his character Paul Drake. Hopper’s car was a 199 Lancia Aprilia Pinin Farina Cabriolet.
9. Second Time is Not the Charm
A revival of the show called A New Perry Mason (not joking) with a new cast premiered in 1973. It failed horribly.
10. One Colorful Episode
A single episode of Perry Mason was filmed in color — Season 9, Episode 21, titled “The Case of the Twice Cold Twist.” Producers wanted to experiment with colorized episodes before beginning season 10 fully in color. However, the show was canceled after its ninth season.
11. A Change in Scenery
In Season 8, Mason’s office moves to the Bank of California. The office is entirely different, but none of the characters seem to notice. The Bank of California is located in San Fransisco.
12. Author Takes the Small Screen
Perry Mason author Erle Stanley Gardner appeared in the series finale as a nameless judge.
13. Della’s Hometown
Guess what state Della hails from? It’s Tennessee! Don’t feel too bad if you didn’t know — her hometown was only mentioned one time throughout the series.
14. Emmys and More Emmys
Raymond Burr won the Emmy award for Best Actor in a Leading Role — twice.
15. Method Acting?
Perry Mason was stationed in the Pacific during WWII. Raymond Burr was too.
