Recommended Posts

Almost forgot about Travolta's "Firebird Fever". Picked it up at a swap meet for five bucks solely because I couldn't stop laughing. I mean look at his face on the box, It doesn't get any better than this!(Pic pulled from the web because I'm lazy)

Lots of good ideas here.

The Imperial convertible- I'd buy a pile of those. One of my favorite designs from the 1960s.

Adam-12 cruisers- YES! Again, I'd be in for multiples, and how about Mac's wagons, too.

Rockford's Firebird would be nice. I always liked the look of that car.

The Vista Cruiser- again, I'd buy at least two or three of those for stock, a H/O wagon, and possibly to convert into a standard-wheelbase, low-roof Cutlass wagon.

I'd also buy a Mark IV or two because I like them. How about one of Barnaby Jones' LTDs or the 1973 Galaxie 500 4-door hardtop in Streets of San Francisco?

With MeTV, Antenna, RTV and COZI, a lot of these great shows are coming back in full force, so I think they might have a real shot at selling.

Come on, Austin! It's not like he has some crazed look on his face! Like, if here where in a cult or something! ..........................Uh oh.............

My sister and I get each other prank presents. One year she gave me a pair of Barbie size man dolls that she got at the Dollar Store. One was white, the other black... but they had faces like mean felons. Little kids would be afraid of these dolls. We couldn't stop laughing. Figure that this was some Chinese designer's idea of what Americans looked like.

Some of those aren't actual cars seen in a TV show. They are concoctions made up by the model maker. Charlie's Angels van....no, Hardy Boys van...no, Farrah Vette...no. Fonzie's car....no, Barnabas' Vampire van...no,

Way back in '75-'76, I used to see cops in Waikiki riding around in such mid-sized cars as Monte Carlos, Cougars, Torinos, etc. These were not plain-jane, 4-door, brown paper wrappers. They were all two-doors, decked out with vinyl roofs, high-end wheel covers, upscale trim levels, whitewalls- and a dash-mounted red (or blue, I forget) light when needed.

Back then, Honolulu Police Officers provided their own vehicles for work. The sheriff's department I worked for in Colorado in that same timeframe did the same. So, we had a wide and strange variety of patrol vehicles on the streets, each individually owned by the deputy driving it. It made for interesting times. I'm sure HPD was the same.

But, they are T.V. Show related

Oh, and I forgot, AMT the Munster Coach and Dragula!

How about an obscure kit? I have an MPC "Then Came Bronson" motorcycle.

That qualifies! And I think they even made model kits of the Banana Splits characters with vehicles
