Top 10 TV Cars

May 12, 2007 52 Replies

Well, given that I also like Chrysler 300s and drive a C-body Dodge, YEAH, those would count :-)

But seriously, SOME TV show must have featuered a '66 to '70 Torino. Or a Cougar, or a Mach 1...

More than half the cars on TV in the 60s and 70s were Fords, but like you say all I remember are things like McGarrett's Mercs, Cannon's Lincoln, and Hutch's beat-up LTD (and yeah, Starsky's Torino too), and Uncle Jesse's pickup. But I'm sure I'm just forgetting something.

Hmm. Spenser drove Mustangs didn't he?

And Dan Tanna had that cool Thunderbird.

Movie cars are a

On this particular day of this month, in the Year Of The Golden Pig, George Orwell did state:

Britt Reid was the /character's/ name; the actor was Van Williams.

"Britt Reid" was a not-too-distant relative of The Lone Ranger, also created by writer George W. Trendle.

BTW, the original Kato was played by Keye Luke of Charlie Chan fame and who did voice work for thousands of cartoons.

The customizer of The Black Beauty was Dean Jefferies.

Sgt. Friday of Dragnet drove Fords. Fords were featured in "The FBI" as well.

Didn't one of Charlie's Angels have a Mustang Cobra??

Yep, I particularly liked the T-bird.

Given the era, it was probably a Mustang II though X^p

One of the Mustang E-mail lists years ago was divided into two groups: Classic Mustangs and Fox-chassis. There was a footnote on the homepage that said "Don't even ask about the Mustang II because nobody cares."

;-)

Yeah, it was a white Mustang Cobra 2 -- I'm pretty sure it was Farrah's, and Cheryl inherited it. I *think* the others may have had Fords as well.

LOL

And, here's a page of photos of cars that appeared on CA:

Yes and no. "Jill" drove a Cobra II (probably a 1976), which isn't a real Mustang.

  1. Original Batmobile. Nothing cooler than that

  3. General Lee- How glorious to see the Stars & Bars on primetime TV
  4. Rat Patrol Jeeps- Imagine how slowpokes would clear the way if you came up behind them with a .50 cal mounted inbed
  5. All terrain vehicle from UFO series
  6. Magnum PI Ferrari
  7. Catch vehicles from Jurassic Park !!
  8. Dodge Daytona From Hunter TV series
