How about the '67 Ford Fairlane 4dr. sedan from Dragnet1967?

I have a 1/64 at work that I have had for ages. I think it it a Johnny Lightning. I need to blackwash the grille and put a little blue in the grille ornament.

That along with these others were made from CHiPS

Don't know why they label that Hughes 500 as a snap kit. I think it's just the Revell 1/32 kit with CHP decals.

As for Ponch's car, with a little work the recently reissued Revell 70 1/2 Trans Am (Firebird) would make a decent replica of his car.

At least the 70 1/2 would be a lot closer than this feeble attempt of it in 1981 from Revell all it shares is the "CHiP's" connection and the fact that it is a gold Trans Am! ?

If you couldn't tell also, even though I realize the whole licensing aspect between the Firebird and Trans Am names, I have loved these cars since I was a kid and have owned two of them, both a Firebird and a Trans Am GTA, so I call them by what they are properly called despite model company licensing. I have even bought many older kits with good decals that may have reissues with much better and expanded decals, such as the recent 70 1/2 from Revell just so I have the proper Trans Am markings to use with the newer kit that does not have them. 

   

Ponch's car was originally the bad guys car in Corvette Summer

Milburn Drysdale on the Beverly Hillbillies drove several years of Imperial cars. Two I can think of that didn't make it into a 1/25 scale kit box are the '67 and '68 year models. There are promos around, but no kits.

I believe that MPC may have kitted that Mustang Cobra several years ago ???

I would really like to see the dodge monaco from the blues brothers

That would work with Hill Street Blues and with the right kit stash, a Hazzard Co Sheriff's car.

I would like to see models of many of the aforementioned cars, but I can only think of two vehicles that haven't been mentioned (and they're not even from North American TV shows!)

1. Simon Templar's Volvo P1800S from The Saint. A great looking car, and one I am surprised has not been molded by a reputable manufacturer (Palmer does not count!)

2. The Mini Moke taxis from The Prisoner. While we're at it, I also want the Lotus Elan wheels so an accurate replica of Number 6's Lotus can be built.

Squad 51 is available currently as a multi-media kit from Ranger Detail Technologies. All you need is red paint and a Dodge pickup kit such as the Lil Red Express.

Ranger’s Squad 51 kit is awesome!!! Highly recommended.

Oh! Good call, Ken. Would love The Saint’s Volvo would be great!

I don't think the cars from the series UFO were ever released in kit form.

Not in styrene, but there was a resin option

The current GMC "Deserter" was released as the Fall Guy truck:

I don't think MPC had an official Charlie's Angels kit (Revell had the license at the time, and used it on their custom Chevy Van), but they did release this:

I watched Banacek regularly too, and my memory required some jogging from the Internet.  It's a 1941 Packard with a body by Darrin, and it is a beauty.
