                  • Four-door sedan. I know someone who built a model of it and the Corvette *NM*
                    • I remember that from the 4 O'Clock Movie...
  • How about some of the vehicles from Hogan's Hero's. I have a Heller 15CV that looks like the Staff car, And the ICM G4 looks like General Burkhalter's ride. Plus I recall seeing a number of Deuce and a Half's and maybe even a 50 Ford Pickup. *NM*
    • More military in M*A*S*H -jeeps, etc. *NM*

    • Whoops, got carried away and went beyond the 60;'s *NM*
  • Not in theaters, but some of the above are tv so - Rockford Files' Firebirds and his dad's pickup.. *NM*
    • Sorry, I checked and Rockford Files started in '74. *NM*
    • Too bad he never got a '79 model. They say it was because Garner didn't like the update that year, but me thinks it was more of a cost cutting decision from production to save $$$ during the last two seasons. *NM*
      • Didn't he drive a GMC Caballero in the last few episodes? *NM*
        • I was referring to the Firebird. *NM*
          • Yes, but I'm thinking the switch was made because he didn't like the '79 'Bird *NM*
            • Maybe a little bit of both. Production costs soared due to the rising cost of on-location shooting at that time. Half dozen new '79's for the last two seasons probably wasn't worth it. *NM*
              • After Smokey, the Firebird was a very tough ticket
                • Exactly my thoughts hence why I never bought the "official" 'Garner didn't like them' cover story. He may not have liked them, but that wasn't the reason. *NM*
                  • Never thought to ask him when we met at Indy in '89
  • Herbie the Love Bug. Also there have been toys and kits of the assorted vehicles from Gerry Anderson TV series in various scales. *NM*
  • I'd also give a special dispensation to allow the 1971 movie, Vanishing Point with the white Dodge Challenger and the Caterpillar Bulldozer( x 2) at the end......but I understand you have to call a limit somewhere.............lol. *NM*
  • The Barris "Thunder Charger" from 1967's 'Thunder Alley'. *NM*
  • 1966 Alpha Romeo 1600 Spyder from 1967's 'The Graduate'. *NM*

  • The Green Hornet, The Black Beauty and numerous Dodge cars , Britt Read had a Mid 60s Dodge in the Garage where it switched places with the Black Beauty. *NM*
    • Actually, Terry, it was a 1966 Chrysler convertible. You can go on You-Tube and watch the "roll-over." The models used in the scene were made by Aurora. Haven't been able to find out if they still exist. *NM*
      • Thanks, yes now I remember, I forget it was a Chrysler, as for being models I always thought it was a model, The only Black Beauty was 1/32, but dont remember a 1/32 Chrysler, unless both were custom built for the show. *NM*
        • Both models for that scene were larger scale (1/16?) and were scratchbuilt by someone at Aurora *NM*

  • The Hero obscure tv show - 1966 Imperial *NM*
    • Wasnt there a model of that car *NM*
      • There was. The show was a 13 week deal, didn't do too well, was probably already toast by the time the kit appeared! *NM*
        • Western Pickup was the last version of that tool, I still wonder if the tooling is still in storage. *NM*
          • Dave (Model King) found the '59 while looking for the Western Pickup. The latter was never found, IIRC he was told it no longer exists *NM*

      • Excellent - that's it. But from the hood ornament shot - maybe a 79 Thunderbird instead of Cougar .
        • It is a Thunderbird ,, hence the driver character's name being "T-Bird" but it's a '73-'76. *NM*
