  • These are some of the most iconic TV cars of the 1960’s and 1970’s. The TV and auto industries have flourished side by side for 70 years, so it’s only natural that the vehicles driven by characters of the small screen are as etched in our memories as the costumes they wore and the places they called home. Here are some TV rides that still get our motors racing.
    Batmobile, Starsky and Hutch, Taxi, The Beverly Hillbillies, Sanford and Son, Charlie’s Angels, Knight Rider, A-Team

      There was 2 cars built for the show and they were both built from GTO's, the first one originally had a functional supercharger on it so it could pop wheelies, but it was too hard to control so a stock tri power engine was put in it with the blower sitting on the top just for looks.
      The 2nd car was built for promotional touring for the show and was actually built from the GTO that Major Healy drives in the first season of I Dream of Genie.

    George Barris was nothing short of a mastermind when it came to creating so many iconic cars, especially when he was only given a handful of weeks to do it. When you can take three Model T's and a hearse and build such a bad ass car as the Munster Coach, you're a true mechanical and artistic genius. l wish they would've included 'Dragula' but it only appeared in a few episodes.

    2 things about KITT that I read about in the past:
    The car was supposed to be a 290 Nissan (or Datsun, same thing). Glen Larson had a neighbor that worked for GM. He showed Larson some pics of the upcoming 1982 Pontiac Firebird/Trans
    Am. Larson scrapped the 290 and instead went with the Trans Am.
    When the show premiered in '82, there were quite a few references to KITT being a Pontiac Trans Am. Pontiac dealerships had people flocking into the showroom, hoping to get a car that looked like KITT. Starting in '83, KITT was no longer referred to as a Trans Am, but rather a black t-top.

    I think we could all come up with other memorable TV vehicles, like the Corvettes from Route 66, Mannix's convertibles, the Green Acres Lincoln, Columbo's Peugeot, Magnum's Ferrari, Nash Bridges 'Cuda, etc. Seems today's shows seldom have characters defined in part by their cars, and little airtime devoted to vehicles, aside from the new Magnum, P.I. Probably this is because America's love affair with cars is long over as demonstrated by the appliance type vehicles now in demand.

  • @LANESxNOWONLYx
    @LANESxNOWONLYx 2 года назад +2

    There were a numerous amount of memorable TV vehicles that qualify as iconic & would have fit right into this video presentation. A vast amount of vehicles we enjoyed watching on many popular prime time TV shows in the 60's, 70's, & the 80's. This would account for, perhaps, a hundred vehicles, more or less? My 3rd favorite was Chin Ho's 1967 Ford Galaxy 500 XL 2 door hardtop on Hawaii 5-0. 2nd favorite was Starsky's car. 1st favorite was Fred G. Sanford's 52' Ford Truck. Gilligan's pedal car gets a VERY honorable mention. Also wonder where it's at today? Almost forgot to mention Jedidiah's 1966 Ford Mustang hardtop, driven by Mark Shera, on Barnaby Jones, a Quinn Martin production.

    All seem to be great except for The Beverly hillbillies truck hasn't been at the school of the Ozark's for years. I have relatives that live nearby for years as a kid would make the long trip to visit. I can remember that truck being there. Back remember taking my kids they were very young and the truck is still there. Then don't remember it's been five or ten years and it was no longer there it was taken away by somebody I think the southwest of California is where it ends up, school had gone with a more upscale approach still if he fit in very narrow parameters they would bring you in. Now to Truckee from brought back recently that I don't know. Great work on this episode

    I missed this a year ago but love this.
    About 15 years ago i was sent 2 framed photos of The Munster Coach.'
    A friend of family worked at a Ca header shop and they were asked to work on it.
    One photo was one of the car in the parking lot, another was a 'portrait' signed by George himself.
    Both are hanging together now.
    Mentioned before i had a '69 Charger that got hit while parked in '80.
    I took the 'total' and let it go (i know,,,,). I'd raised alot of hell by then. No tickets ;)
    Family saw it go down the freeway on a flatbed truck.
    He didn't think it was going to a junk yard. Prob became a Dukes 'jumper'. They'd piece cars together.
    Nice Work, B Bros!!

I haven't had a chance to ask him about it yet because I always see him while he's going down the road. Hopefully I'll catch him in a gas station one day and find out what kind of car is under there. I don't think its a Futura. The thing looks perfect though.
