@forlornhope3290 Just off the top of my head are the vehicles, aircraft, and watercraft from Riptide, The Fall Guy, Hardcastle & McCormick, Simon & Simon, Hart to Hart and Hunter. Oh, in Season 2 or 3 of the Waltons Johnboy had a sedan and towards the end of the show’s run, John Sr. had a Woody Wagon, wooden trim and all!
I was a big Dukes of Hazzard fan back in the day. Cooter was the best mechanic ever...the General Lee could jump something absolutely ridiculous, come down hard nose first, and basically destroy the car, but as the General was "straightening those curves" and "flattening those hills", Crazy Cooter always somehow managed to magically repair all the damage as the car fishtailed and drifted thru the next corner and "voila"!!! He even had time to paint it somehow!!!!😂😂😂
If you watch the show you can certainly see the car get damaged and then buff out some how like you said. They did a lot to make this show happen and I loved it. Thank you for watching Roger!
@abrakhocus1748 : I'm sure Bonnie smelled better than Cooter, but Cooter's backwoods engineering and work ethic was legendary, and the man I want on the job!
Great memories from those fantastic 70s and 80s decades. The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard is definitely the most iconic of all. The number one muscle car to own. Like KITT from Knight Rider there are still a lot of replica's of it nowadays.
As a big Knight Rider fan and car enthusiast this video made my day! I still think KITT is the coolest, but there were so many cool cars back then. It seems like private investigators always have the best cars! Wish there was more TV like this today (I'm not even that old) especially if they featured such gorgeous vehicles.
Totally agree. Those shows were great, had character, and the vehicles were so integral to the shows. You wanted to see the cars as much as the people. You don't see that now.
Thanks for including Emergency! I was hospitalized as a 2 1/2 year old, and watching that show from the hospital room was a great memory I will cherish. When I went into surgery, the doctor let me take my fire helmet into the operating room. He said I was brave like the people on the show. Thanks for the memories! ❤
You forgot one of my favorite TV shows, "The Fall Guy" with Lee Majors that ran from November of 81 to May of 86 and featured that iconic 1982 GMC K2500 Sierra Grande. I never wanted a truck so bad in my life as I did that one. ! 🤣 I was stoked when my mom got me the toy version for my birthday in 82!
Here is one you missed. Spenser For Hire, 1985-1988, Spenser a former Boston cop turned Private Investigator. He drove a 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback. At the end of the 1st season, his Black Mustang was "lost in a crash" where he kinda drove the car towards bad guys. It flipped and burned. Starting Season 2, At the recycle yard, his guy had a Gray 1987 Ford Mustang SVO with 7 miles on it. Then in Season 3, Spenser decided to trade new Mustang for a freshly rebuilt 1966 Fastback, this time it was Dark Green. Spenser's friend Hawk drove a few BMW 635i coupes. Black, White and Silver.
A team, The Dukes, Starsky and Hutch, loved them all. Though what really hit me was the photos of everyday people posing in front of their cars. I could look at those all day and that's how I know I truly am middle aged. 😂

There is definitely room to do more episodes and you're right about some shows using things other than cars. The Love Boat is also a great example. Thank you for watching!
Even though I had a Camaro, I would've loved to have that Stingray. ❤Thanks, Rhett, for bringing back those old TV show cars. I'd forgotten about a lot of them. The Monkees, and The Munsters had some pretty unique, and strange-looking rides. 😄
I was a huge fan of Dukes and Knight Rider, especially Knight Rider. Although not cars, but the helicopters of Airwolf and Blue Thunder were pretty cool. I even have a Kitt voicebox that you plug into the cigarette lighter that lights up and says various phrases.
If you think about it, Airwolf was a huge vehicle we all got to know and love. The Love Boat is another along with the helicopter on MASH Thank you for watching and sharing your memories as well as what you have.
Warner Bros. did give him General Lee 001, which was the glamor- close-up car (never jumped) but he sold it a while back for MAJOR money. I think, however, he does have another one now that is a modern updated recreation. He had a major storm do a lot of damage to his property a few years ago, which I remember reading destroyed yet another "General Lee". When one General Lee dies,....3 more take its place!!!
It's amazing they can even have more pop up with how many they went thru and then just the years that have went by. I know some of the cars have newer parts but still. Thanks for giving us a little more background on what he had.
Starsky & Hutch, Emergency, B.J. & the Bear & Movin' On were my favorites. I saw a truck exactly like Sanford & Son's, but it was 10 years older than Sanford & Son's.
I watched almost all of the shows and completely for how important the transportation was in every show. Sometimes just as popular as the actors themselves. Happy Holidays to you and your family! Hi Jodie Merry Christmas!🎁🎄 ⛄️👋😁
Can't forget Nick's '60 Corvette from Riptide! The A-Team van is my favorite, though. Never much cared for all the sports cars. Gimme that awesome van.
As a Starsky and Hutch fan I really loved the "striped tomato." And in the mid 80's I got to sit in KITT and get my picture taken at the World of Wheels. He didn't talk to me though.🤣
We had all these shows in Australia Rhett, except maybe movin’ on. I don’t remember seeing that one. I loved nearly all of those, except Knight Rider. Great memories. It’s the 25th here tomorrow, and only 2 more days for you. Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🎁 Rhett have a wonderful day. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺 Hi Paul 😁🎄🇺🇸 👋
You're welcome Robin and I'm happy you are enjoying all the videos. I really appreciate you always watching and commenting. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
As a kid I always liked the Flintmobile, the Mystery Machine or Daphne's red Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo, and from Sesame Street Susan & Gordon's yellow VW beetle & Oscar's sloppy jalopy.
Very nice list, but I can think of two major ones you missed that I personally remember as a kid when growing up in the 80's. First was the Coyote X used in the show 'Hardcastle and McCormack'...probably one of the coolest vehicles to appear on a TV show. And second(and this one is less glamorous, but one I still remember well) is the GMC K2500 Sierra Grande truck that Colt Seaver made famous in 'The Fall Guy'. Just wanted to give these 2 vehicles a little love. Love your videos!!!
If you Google image search for Hardcastle and McCormack (such a great name for a show) 99% of the results are pictures of that car. The other 1% of the DVD box set, where the car is displayed just as large as the actors are on the cover. Super underrated TV car. I couldn't tell you who was on the show except for the car.
I like how you mixed in different shows bouncing around decades. This helps introduce people to cars they never knew! I totally forgot about the Brady Bunch car always pulling into the driveway! 😂
Before he drove a Testarossa Crocket drove a Ferrari Spyder kit car. Plus you forgot the '57 Chevy AJ drove during the first couple of seasons of Simon and Simon as well as the Camaro he drove in later seasons.
I think he only had the 57 in the first season which was actually filmed in San Diego where it was set, to cut costs starting with the beginning of the 2nd season it was filmed in LA although the setting was still San Diego, I also think he went from the 57 to the new TA or Camaro starting with the 2nd season, I thought it was a TA but that was a million years ago and my memory is getting fuzzy in my old age.
I absolutely loved this episode, Rhetty! We forget how much the cars and other vehicles played an instrumental role in the series they were on. A few additions... In Miami Vice, Crockett's car in the first two seasons was a Ferrari Daytona Spyder. I was a huge fan of the show ADAM-12, and they had some cool police cruisers on the show. And who can forget the iconic van on the show S.W.A.T. (does the driver ever get out of the vam when the rest of the officers jump out of the back?). The recurring "side" plot of Magnum P.I. was that Thomas was driving Robin Masters' car. I actually drove by the "estate" when I was in Hawaii some years ago now. It isn't as big as I thought (lots of camera angles I guess). Who can forget the iconic red Hawaii shirt with parrots on it that Thomas wore? I remember one episode when Thomas was being chased by a 1970 Poniac LeMans made to look a bit like a GTO. Thomas'narrative was something like, "The great thing about being a private investigator is that you get to drive a fast car. Unless the bad guys have one that is faster." Or something like that. They showed the Pontiac chasing down the Ferrari, which was pure fiction. While the Pontiac may have had a beefed up 455, there is no way it could have handled like a Ferrari! It was a fun episode though. So many great cars in TV back then. Perhaps you could do another episode on iconic movie cars. On a side note, technically speaking, Mr. T's haircut was called a Mandinka.
There are definitely some other cars that could be mentioned in a future episode. I think these cars were much more vital to shows than what they are today. Thank you for giving us a little background and especially on Mr. T. I had no idea.
My dad had a Dodge truck like in Emergency. He was a water well drilled and it was converted to a pump truck, with a hoist and mast to pull pumps out of water wells, but the inside looked exactly like the one in Emergency and it was even red!
I had a set of Dukes of Hazzard Matchbox cars. I went looking for them last year & to my horror, they've gone missing from my parents' attic along with my model General Lee. I was crushed the day my mom pointed out the voice actor for KITT... literally CRUSHED. LOL My friend just bought a Striped Tomato that has paperwork authenticating it was used in Starsky & Hutch. I asked him if he was Starsky or Hutch. lol Thanks for the stroll, Rhetty! I can't wait for part 2. Merry Christmas everyone!
Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas to you! Your friend certainly has a really cool car. Most kids wouldn't know what it was and the recent movie didn't help it out really but it was a great show. That's too bad on your old toys going missing. I know how that is though and I wish I had a lot of what I used to have.
🤣😂🤣👏🏻👏🏻 I remember getting a spanking for jumping in the window of my dad's red VW Beetle just like on the Dukes of Hazzard! Parents! They just don't "get" these things!😂😂😂
Every summer they have a race where people make the craziest boats they can and paddle down the river. This year a scout troop made the A team van. It was awesome 😂😂
I'm a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan always wanted a 69 Dodge Charger R/T myself. Also I liked Starsky and Hutch Ford Gran Torino and Jim Rockford's Pontiac Firebird.
The A-Team van, my parents loved the knight rider car KITT, and of course the ever loving '69 Dodge charger THE GENERAL LEE!!!!! HELL YEA!!!!!! Good times baby💪👍💪
There's a car museum in Branson, Missouri, that has dozens of famous cars from shows and movies. My favorites were a Batmobile (replica), Mutt Cuts from Dumb and Dumber, plus several cars from Fast and Furious movies.
Love this channel and all the videos. Such memories. This one was tops though thinking about watching those shows with my dad and loving those cars. Always imagined myself jumping creeks in the General Lee or jumping out of the A Team van guns a'blazing, or cruising with KITT to save the day. I'm a little disappointed you didn't mention Sonny Crockett's first car though. The black 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS. I always liked that one better and it about killed me watching that episode when they blew it up. It was like killing off a character. I was shocked they did that. It took awhile to get over and accept the new car. TV Eh?
The Dukes of Hazzard was the best. It was the first show to have a second unit purely for the stunts. No green screen or computer effects just real cars flying through the air.
The little Christian school I went to in the 70s was run by a Baptist church, which had a fleet of Sunday School buses. They allowed the school to use some of the buses for the sports teams, usually the oldest buses. The oldest one had the same front end as the Partridge Family bus. I was never sure whether it was a `55 or a `56 though.
Both of those had some iconic vehicles for sure. I forgot that The Beverly Hillbilly's how did make it into the 70s a little bit. Thank you for watching Tammie!
You know what's funny watching this video because I've always said that if I was rich I would open up a museum with all the cars and motorcycles from when I was a kid from the TV shows. But there is one iconic car that you forgot to mention. You forgot all about the Munsters car that one was just so cool. Thank you so much for putting this video out one of the cars I've always wanted was the general Lee. And the batmobile we can't forget about the batmobile from the 60s. Thanks again for all the great memories.
Those were still better cars 🚗 than today’s cars 🚗. The 1970’s and the 1980’s was a GREAT 👍 time to be alive. I also got a blast 💥 out of the 1990’s. Automatic seatbelts and headlights that came 🆙 and went down was a great 😊 invention. Well, until a motor burned 🔥 out. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 and a Happy 😊 New Year!! Your friend, Jeff!!
For me The Fonz , Knight Rider, A Team and Miami Vice stands out. I find them being the coolest ones in this list. The others are great also. Cool video. ^_^
This is a little later in time from this video, but my grandfather owned a green, Chevrolet Caprice, my cousin, inherited it when he was old enough to drive, and at the end of the movie, Miss congeniality, my cousin, and the car can be seen driving. There is a close-up of my cousins face.
My 68 R/T charger was one of the many chargers used and destroyed filming the Dukes of Hazzard I was working at a automotive wreaking yard when a call came in looking to buy all the chargers they could get I loved that car but $2000 for a highschool kid was a lot of money plus my dad and I loved the show haha
The Coyote from Hardcastle and McCormick. They need to make a new 1-18 or 1-24 scale version, the originals are our too pricy for me. I do have a 1-64 scale though.
The dukes of hazzard was one of my favorite TV shows I have a cb radio same model to the General Lee and ertl General Lee and Boss Hoggs caddy then a johnny lightning General Lee and I just got the decals to make my 1/25 General Lee Missing the Fall Guy sadly
Team Knight Rider. Even though it only lasted 4 years (and had a spinoff of the same name), it was one of the best shows to watch in the eighties and I still watch and DVR it whenever it comes on TV. We are still trying to get to a point where we are in driverless cars with adaptive AI. KITT/KARR had all of that and more in the eighties. You missed the shows Hardcastle & McCormick with their car, the Coyote (which had two versions). Automan's Autocar that could turn corners really fast, Matt Houston with his Excalibur Phaeton IV and we can't forget Street Hawk with the Honda XL500 trail bike. I would love to give an honorable mention to the airplane show (yes, I know it's not a car) to Airwolf. Can you make a part two with these cars and the like in it? Great video.
There are definitely some more cars to list in some future episodes. Somehow I need to include the copter from Airwolf and the ship from The Love Boat. Thank you for watching!
I like how did talked about Emergency Dodge 300 that was used during the Series But you should talk about the 2 Fire Engines that was also used in the Series
There were many General Lees used in Dukes of Hazzard and they weren't always the same exact model with the exact same customizations, so there really isn't one definitive General Lee.
I saw an interview with him and the show creator/director. They said his mind just couldn't put it all together and think that way. But Henry said that the first time he rode a motorcycle was the only time. It was the Harley and he crashed into a set trailer and almost killed someone. He and the bike slid up under the trailer. The bike was a rental and they decided to never let him try that again. He was ok with that. Thank you for watching!
I'm happy that you think I'm a computer. There is always room for more episodes. That was hinted at with the first few pics. MASH and Sanford and Son. Thanks for watching!
Four iconic cars that should have made it 1. The Fall Guy's GMC pickup 2. Hunter's 1977 Dodge Monaco 3. Mork & Mindy - Mindy's Volkswagen 4. A-Team - Face's 1984 Chevrolet Corvette

Great trip down memory lane. Was disappointed that the 1979 Dodge Power Wagon from Simon & Simon didn't make the list. I loved that truck as a kid.
There is definitely more than enough for a part 2. Thank you for watching forlornhop3290!
@forlornhope3290 Just off the top of my head are the vehicles, aircraft, and watercraft from Riptide, The Fall Guy, Hardcastle & McCormick, Simon & Simon, Hart to Hart and Hunter.

Lol, you can take Cooter... Me I'd rather have Bonnie Barstow from Knight Rider 😉
When we were Seniors in high school, a friend and I were voted to be "most likely to become stunt drivers for the Dukes of Hazzard". Hahaha
@abrakhocus1748 : I'm sure Bonnie smelled better than Cooter, but Cooter's backwoods engineering and work ethic was legendary, and the man I want on the job!
@RhettyforHistory : All these years later, it's still my all time favorite T.V. show!!!
Great memories from those fantastic 70s and 80s decades. The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard is definitely the most iconic of all. The number one muscle car to own. Like KITT from Knight Rider there are still a lot of replica's of it nowadays.

It really was an awesome TV car that everyone dreamed about having one day. Thank you for watching LittleRedIrishRover!
Yes hard to into whiney, emotionally distraught detectives on bicycles!
I always detested the KR and Kitt even though I was a Pontiac fanatic back then...
Thankfully KITT's in Joe's garage now. The Semi is in the backyard!!
Totally agree. Those shows were great, had character, and the vehicles were so integral to the shows. You wanted to see the cars as much as the people. You don't see that now.

Hart to Hart had some excellent and iconic cars.
Thank you for watching and mentioning that show!
...good one Rhetty....I am forever grateful to Catherine Bach for personally bringing short shorts back into fashion.....
Thank you for watching Zenny!
For me it was the "Fall Guy" truck ... shame that one didnt make it in the video.
"Fall Guy" and "Riptide" ... great times.
That is a great show and definitely worthy of making it in a part 2. Thank you for watching!
When I think of Riptide I think of that goofy helicopter
A team, The Dukes, Starsky and Hutch, loved them all. Though what really hit me was the photos of everyday people posing in front of their cars. I could look at those all day and that's how I know I truly am middle aged. 😂

I was a huge fan of Dukes and Knight Rider, especially Knight Rider. Although not cars, but the helicopters of Airwolf and Blue Thunder were pretty cool. I even have a Kitt voicebox that you plug into the cigarette lighter that lights up and says various phrases.

@@RhettyforHistoryyou forgot TCs Hughes 500D! I always thought the 500D was so cool and looked awesome.
Good episode. If I'm not mistaken, John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) took possession of the car and displays it today.👍👍👍

There was the Plymouth Duster which they called a Dodge in the TV show Married With Children which the character Al Bundy drove
That is a great one to mention and definitely one worth placing in a part 2. Thank you for watching!
Al loved that old "Dodge" :-)
I remember all of these classic cars.! Love your vlog Rhetty!
Thank you for watching my friend and I'm happy to hear you love all the videos!
Oddly enough I had the Knight Rider toy car when I was a kid. Ran on batteries and made a lot of noise. Lol 😂😆😂
Saw the Knight Rider car, KITT in person at a NJ Turnpike rest stop years ago
It really was a cool TV car! Thank you for watching!
Absolutely filling my head with nostalgia tonight!❤❤❤
Thank you for watching Charles!
There was also Hardcastle and McCormick, which had a red kit car with Coyote written on the side.
That is a great one to mention and I will have to put it in a part 2! Thank you for watching!
Starsky & Hutch, Emergency, B.J. & the Bear & Movin' On were my favorites. I saw a truck exactly like Sanford & Son's, but it was 10 years older than Sanford & Son's.
I always wondered how the private detectives, policeman and moonshine runners who never had two nickels to rub together could afford such great cars.
Thank you for watching Steve!

I like how you mixed in different shows bouncing around decades. This helps introduce people to cars they never knew! I totally forgot about the Brady Bunch car always pulling into the driveway! 😂
Thank you for watching and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video Charles!
Before he drove a Testarossa Crocket drove a Ferrari Spyder kit car. Plus you forgot the '57 Chevy AJ drove during the first couple of seasons of Simon and Simon as well as the Camaro he drove in later seasons.
I think he only had the 57 in the first season which was actually filmed in San Diego where it was set, to cut costs starting with the beginning of the 2nd season it was filmed in LA although the setting was still San Diego, I also think he went from the 57 to the new TA or Camaro starting with the 2nd season, I thought it was a TA but that was a million years ago and my memory is getting fuzzy in my old age.
Thank you for watching David!
I absolutely loved this episode, Rhetty! We forget how much the cars and other vehicles played an instrumental role in the series they were on. A few additions... In Miami Vice, Crockett's car in the first two seasons was a Ferrari Daytona Spyder. I was a huge fan of the show ADAM-12, and they had some cool police cruisers on the show. And who can forget the iconic van on the show S.W.A.T. (does the driver ever get out of the vam when the rest of the officers jump out of the back?). The recurring "side" plot of Magnum P.I. was that Thomas was driving Robin Masters' car. I actually drove by the "estate" when I was in Hawaii some years ago now. It isn't as big as I thought (lots of camera angles I guess). Who can forget the iconic red Hawaii shirt with parrots on it that Thomas wore? I remember one episode when Thomas was being chased by a 1970 Poniac LeMans made to look a bit like a GTO. Thomas'narrative was something like, "The great thing about being a private investigator is that you get to drive a fast car. Unless the bad guys have one that is faster." Or something like that. They showed the Pontiac chasing down the Ferrari, which was pure fiction. While the Pontiac may have had a beefed up 455, there is no way it could have handled like a Ferrari! It was a fun episode though. So many great cars in TV back then. Perhaps you could do another episode on iconic movie cars.
On a side note, technically speaking, Mr. T's haircut was called a Mandinka.
There are definitely some other cars that could be mentioned in a future episode. I think these cars were much more vital to shows than what they are today. Thank you for giving us a little background and especially on Mr. T. I had no idea.
ADAM-12 is another show I would love to get DVDs for and see available on Amazon Prime or Netflix or Hulu
Another great video!! Merry Christmas everyone!
Thank you Nicki and Merry Christmas to you!
My dad had a Dodge truck like in Emergency. He was a water well drilled and it was converted to a pump truck, with a hoist and mast to pull pumps out of water wells, but the inside looked exactly like the one in Emergency and it was even red!
Oh that's really cool he had that. I wonder if people thought it was from the show? Thank you for watching and telling us what you dad had.
I LOVED Emergency when I was little. And… gee, I was little when it aired! 😮
Thank you for watching and sharing what you loved PHBRNTGGR2!
The Dodge M4s turbo interceptor from The Wraith was ahead of it’s time
Thank you for watching and mentioning that one David!
Great review and video
Maxwell Smart and his Sunbeam Tiger and VW Karmen Ghia
That's definitely worth mentioning. The show makes it into the 70s but just barely. I loved that show though. Thank you for watching!
I thought I was pushing my luck with it. Thanks for all you videos you create and share
@@RhettyforHistory
Man...!!!
You bring back all the memories and dates, this channel is great for researching the dates of pop culture 💙💯👍

Thank you for watching and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the content David!
I had a set of Dukes of Hazzard Matchbox cars. I went looking for them last year & to my horror, they've gone missing from my parents' attic along with my model General Lee. I was crushed the day my mom pointed out the voice actor for KITT... literally CRUSHED. LOL My friend just bought a Striped Tomato that has paperwork authenticating it was used in Starsky & Hutch. I asked him if he was Starsky or Hutch. lol Thanks for the stroll, Rhetty! I can't wait for part 2. Merry Christmas everyone!
Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas to you! Your friend certainly has a really cool car. Most kids wouldn't know what it was and the recent movie didn't help it out really but it was a great show. That's too bad on your old toys going missing. I know how that is though and I wish I had a lot of what I used to have.
🤣😂🤣👏🏻👏🏻 I remember getting a spanking for jumping in the window of my dad's red VW Beetle just like on the Dukes of Hazzard! Parents! They just don't "get" these things!😂😂😂
That's funny and I think every kid wanted to try that. Thank you for watching aariley2!
Thank you so much for this great video 👍🙂❤️
You're welcome and thank you for watching Monika!
Love all thse cars so awesome
Every summer they have a race where people make the craziest boats they can and paddle down the river. This year a scout troop made the A team van. It was awesome 😂😂
Oh man! What a cool boat to build! Most kids probably had no idea what it was.
I'm a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan always wanted a 69 Dodge Charger R/T myself. Also I liked Starsky and Hutch Ford Gran Torino and Jim Rockford's Pontiac Firebird.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you liked!
Rockford Files is another one of my favorite shows
Hardcastle and McCormick. They had an iconic car although I can:t remember what it was.
It was a kit car called a "Coyote".
Thank you for watching Joe!
Thanks Rhetty.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Ron!
The A-Team van, my parents loved the knight rider car KITT, and of course the ever loving '69 Dodge charger THE GENERAL LEE!!!!! HELL YEA!!!!!! Good times baby💪👍💪
Thank you for watching kratoscraken5614!
@@RhettyforHistory no worries bro thanks for the memories mate 👌
There's a car museum in Branson, Missouri, that has dozens of famous cars from shows and movies. My favorites were a Batmobile (replica), Mutt Cuts from Dumb and Dumber, plus several cars from Fast and Furious movies.
Thank you for watching puggynugz922! That really is a great museum to visit and they rotate what they have that you can see too.
Love this channel and all the videos. Such memories. This one was tops though thinking about watching those shows with my dad and loving those cars. Always imagined myself jumping creeks in the General Lee or jumping out of the A Team van guns a'blazing, or cruising with KITT to save the day.
I'm a little disappointed you didn't mention Sonny Crockett's first car though. The black 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS. I always liked that one better and it about killed me watching that episode when they blew it up. It was like killing off a character. I was shocked they did that. It took awhile to get over and accept the new car. TV Eh?
The Dukes of Hazzard was the best. It was the first show to have a second unit purely for the stunts. No green screen or computer effects just real cars flying through the air.
It really was a great show. Thank you for watching highoctane953!
It wasn’t just a second unit, there were over 300 General Lees. Some were even AMC Ambassadors made to look like the 69 Charger!
Starsky & Hutch and the Dukes of Hazard for me 😎💪🇺🇸
Both were great shows! Thank you for watching Edward!
The little Christian school I went to in the 70s was run by a Baptist church, which had a fleet of Sunday School buses. They allowed the school to use some of the buses for the sports teams, usually the oldest buses. The oldest one had the same front end as the Partridge Family bus. I was never sure whether it was a `55 or a `56 though.
Thank you for watching MillerMeteor74!
Talk about bringing back memories... Judy landers and Phyllis Davis in "Vegas"
Thank you for watching William!
I loved the Starsky and Hutch car and the A Team van
Thank you for watching and sharing what you loved angelinacobb348!
The Munsters model T and The Beverly Hillbilly's truck
Both of those had some iconic vehicles for sure. I forgot that The Beverly Hillbilly's how did make it into the 70s a little bit. Thank you for watching Tammie!
Thanks for this!! TV was so good in the 70s and 80s!! You didn't mention this because it was a movie. The 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am!!
Definitely an iconic one for sure. I could have a whole separate episode on the movie cars. Thank you for watching gatgurlfl3980~
This was a wonderful time to be alive!!! Born #1974
Thank you for watching Emily!
You know what's funny watching this video because I've always said that if I was rich I would open up a museum with all the cars and motorcycles from when I was a kid from the TV shows. But there is one iconic car that you forgot to mention. You forgot all about the Munsters car that one was just so cool. Thank you so much for putting this video out one of the cars I've always wanted was the general Lee. And the batmobile we can't forget about the batmobile from the 60s. Thanks again for all the great memories.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Michael. It would be nice to have a museum with these cars.
General Lee lives on for ever
Thank you for watching Robbi!
@@RhettyforHistory You're welcome, this footage is well put together.
Older cars in general just have so much more charactor than modern ones.
The coyote from Hardcastle and McCormick and Colt Seavers' 1982 GMC 2500 Grande pickup from the fall guy.
Both are definitely worthy of mention in a part two. Thank you for watching pdennis93!
Those were still better cars 🚗 than today’s cars 🚗. The 1970’s and the 1980’s was a GREAT 👍 time to be alive. I also got a blast 💥 out of the 1990’s. Automatic seatbelts and headlights that came 🆙 and went down was a great 😊 invention. Well, until a motor burned 🔥 out. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 and a Happy 😊 New Year!! Your friend, Jeff!!
Thank you for watching. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Jeff!
Air wolf and streethawk nned to be in the next one!
Those are great ones to mention. Thank you for watching!
I was thinking the same thing. Even with all the bad edits, I still loved Airwolf as a kid.
For me The Fonz , Knight Rider, A Team and Miami Vice stands out. I find them being the coolest ones in this list. The others are great also. Cool video. ^_^
Not a car, but who can forget "McCloud" and his horse? LOL
Best comment ever ❤️
I might have to squeeze that in to an episode. Thank you for watching Samuel!
Haha I actually thought of that too
Omg I absolutely loved Vega$$!
Thank you for watching Kel792!
The KITCAR had a voice dubbed by William Daniel's who stared in St. ELSEWHERE as well as Voy Meets world.
Thank you for watching Jack!
This is a little later in time from this video, but my grandfather owned a green, Chevrolet Caprice, my cousin, inherited it when he was old enough to drive, and at the end of the movie, Miss congeniality, my cousin, and the car can be seen driving. There is a close-up of my cousins face.
Oh wow! That is really cool. Thank you for watching and sharing that story.
What about the Coyote ..... wunderful Kitcar from the Serie Hardcastle & Mc Kormick
Oh yeah!
That's a great one to mention! I'll have to stick that one in a part 2. Thanks for watching and mentioning it.
What about Colt Seavers 1982 GMC K 2500 truck?
Definitely a great one to have in a part two. Thank you for watching and mentioning that one!
@@RhettyforHistory, Your welcome. I will be waiting for part 2. Gotta see Colts truck.
In part two, maybe you can mention the various cars that private investigator Joe Mannix drove during the 8 year run of "Mannix".
Thank you for watching and mentioning that willhorting5317!
All my favorite cars but also Daisy Duke drove 2 great ones herself...
I definitely remember the white jeep and then didn't she have some sort of mopar? Thank you for watching and mentioning that!
@@RhettyforHistory i think it was a road runner, '74 or '75. Bad car lol
It wasnt a TV show but my favorite was Smoke and the Bandit TransAm and second place the Mustang Cobra from Charlies Angels.
My 68 R/T charger was one of the many chargers used and destroyed filming the Dukes of Hazzard I was working at a automotive wreaking yard when a call came in looking to buy all the chargers they could get I loved that car but $2000 for a highschool kid was a lot of money plus my dad and I loved the show haha
They bought the car from you? That's pretty cool! Thank you for watching James!
The Coyote from Hardcastle and McCormick. They need to make a new 1-18 or 1-24 scale version, the originals are our too pricy for me. I do have a 1-64 scale though.
Thank you for watching David!
The dukes of hazzard was one of my favorite TV shows I have a cb radio same model to the General Lee and ertl General Lee and Boss Hoggs caddy then a johnny lightning General Lee and I just got the decals to make my 1/25 General Lee
Missing the Fall Guy sadly
The Fall Guy is definitely worthy of a spot in a part 2. Thank you for watching!
fun fact...in the tv show starsky n hutch they only used 15 or so ford gran torino in some of the cars they did put 460 CI engines
Thank you for watching and giving us a little more background information erickort1987!
Team Knight Rider. Even though it only lasted 4 years (and had a spinoff of the same name), it was one of the best shows to watch in the eighties and I still watch and DVR it whenever it comes on TV. We are still trying to get to a point where we are in driverless cars with adaptive AI. KITT/KARR had all of that and more in the eighties. You missed the shows Hardcastle & McCormick with their car, the Coyote (which had two versions). Automan's Autocar that could turn corners really fast, Matt Houston with his Excalibur Phaeton IV and we can't forget Street Hawk with the Honda XL500 trail bike. I would love to give an honorable mention to the airplane show (yes, I know it's not a car) to Airwolf. Can you make a part two with these cars and the like in it? Great video.
There are definitely some more cars to list in some future episodes. Somehow I need to include the copter from Airwolf and the ship from The Love Boat. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching EGSBiographies-om1wb!
They left out Columbo's 1959 Peugeot. I think it was a model 204 ?
That would be a great one for a part 2. Thank you for watching!
I like how did talked about Emergency Dodge 300 that was used during the Series But you should talk about the 2 Fire Engines that was also used in the Series
There is always more than enough room to have an episode 2. Thank you for watching Barry!
I love emergency and taxi
Both were great shows! Thank you for watching!
On the Brady Bunch, you forgot to show Mr. Brady‘s convertible blue Barracuda!
There is definitely more cars to cover in future episodes. Thank you for watching!
Mannix’s and Mr Brady’s (Brady Bunch) 1972 Plymouth Barracuda convertibles. They’re amazing because Plymouth didn’t make a 1972 Barracuda convertible. They’re actually 1971 models with 1972 grills and tail sections installed.
Thank you for watching and giving us a little more background.
Columbo's Volvo, Canons Lincoln and the Clampetts
Model A.
Those are definitely some others worth mentioning in another episode. Thank you for watching rosoffe1!
Please do a story on NASCAR from the 1970s to the 1990s
Thank you for watching NASCARFAN93100!
There were many General Lees used in Dukes of Hazzard and they weren't always the same exact model with the exact same customizations, so there really isn't one definitive General Lee.
You're right about that. More than 300 of them used. Thank you for watching!
Wonder why Fonzie just didn't learn to ride a bike. It's not like it's difficult.
I think maybe because Henry Winkler is totally not the Fonz
I saw an interview with him and the show creator/director. They said his mind just couldn't put it all together and think that way. But Henry said that the first time he rode a motorcycle was the only time. It was the Harley and he crashed into a set trailer and almost killed someone. He and the bike slid up under the trailer. The bike was a rental and they decided to never let him try that again. He was ok with that. Thank you for watching!
Henry in real life was the complete opposite of the Fonz.
They forgot the detective show riptide with the big, fuzzy pink chopper, and the 1963 Corvette coupe
Thank you for watching and mentioning another one Scott!
If you make a second video, you should include Ponch's Firebird from Chips.
That would be a good one to talk about. Thank you for watching and mentioning it!
How could the computer voice forget the Columbo Car. A Peugeot
I'm happy that you think I'm a computer. There is always room for more episodes. That was hinted at with the first few pics. MASH and Sanford and Son. Thanks for watching!
I forgot to vote for Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem tour van!
Thank you for watching DaddyOfTheSugarVariety!
Four iconic cars that should have made it
1. The Fall Guy's GMC pickup
2. Hunter's 1977 Dodge Monaco
3. Mork & Mindy - Mindy's Volkswagen
4. A-Team - Face's 1984 Chevrolet Corvette
There is certainly room for another episode with more cars from these two decades. Thank you for watching Lurch4you!
Honorable Mention
Canon's various Lincoln Continental Mark Series
Columbo's Peugeot convertible " It's a classic! ".
The greatest TV car of all time was Al Bundy's Dodge. (Which actually was a Plymouth)
That is definitely one that I need to mention in a future episode. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory My dad drove a 1963 Plymouth Station Wagon for a little over 20 years. Up until 1993 -- I could relate with Al.
