Did anyone else catch TV Land's "Top Ten TV Cars" show this evening?
Maybe it was a rerun, but it was the first time I had seen it.

'Can't remember all the candidates, but they included Jim Rockford's
gold Firebird ('79 '80? I forgot the year), The Beverly Hillbillies'
1922 Oldsmobile cutaway "truck," Starsky & Hutch Nike-stripe Torino,
The Munster's coffin-mobile, K.I.T.T. 1982 Firebird, Fred Flintstone's
Flintmobile, Magnum's Ferrari, The General Lee, and Batmobile.

They had about a dozen seemingly unrelated judges from various walks
of public life, including Kustomizer George Barris, rate each car as
to which was the most memorable car from TV shows in which the car
played an important role.

#1 was Batmobile (George Barris said the budget to build that car was
only $15,000, but Ford donated a new vehicle for $1.00 to start off.
Didn't say what it was they donated. Anybody know?)

#2 was The General Lee
#3 was K.I.T.T. (I think)

not sure of the remaining order; maybe others will fill in the blanks.

#5 was Flintmobile (I think)
#8 was Starsky & Hutch
#10 was Jim Rockford's gold Firebird
etc.

If you ask me, The General Lee should have hands-down been #1. (They
reported over 300 1969 -I know some were doctored 1968- Dodge Chargers
being consumed during The Dukes of Hazzard show's run. Gulp. I saw one
of the certified real ones from the show at The MoPar Nationals here
about six years ago. It was just a previously-blue 318 car, as seen
from under the hood where they didn't bother to change the color. It
was well worn from use on and in the set.)

Glad they didn't use Studebakers! [There ya' go, Sonny; I worked
STUDEBAKERS into the thread to avoid the TP (Thread Police). <G>] BP
