I was always fond of two particular cars when I was a kid; the Black Beauty in Green Hornet, but also McGarret's black '67 Mercury in the original 5-0 series. I only watched that show to see the car! This was a handsome machine




....maybe this is why I have two black vehicles? And this song from my childhood is so fitting

That Mercury looks A LOT like the mid 1960's Continental. Always funny to watch those old cop shows with them sliding around those huge 4 door barges on their door handles, cars back then didn't handle worth a damn lol

Aint that the truth?! More drama whipping corners. This one and that era Continental-they both had that era's execu-centric appeal. The only things we need to add in the pics are a matching black set of Samsonite luggage, a tall blonde in a mink, and two martinis

^ The Jurassic Park Jeep would be a pretty easy one to replicate. Those square headlight jeeps are pretty cheap, plus from the photos I see it looks like a flat style paint job.


I'd also like Scarface's Porsche 928. My best friend's dad when I was a kid had an early 1980's silver Porsche 928 as his daily driver. Such a cool looking car.

The hard part is convincing her to do it hah!

Agreed, the 928 is very unique!

Anthony Michael Hall had a nice black 928 in "Weird Science", there was a 80's movie called "The Hidden" where the good guy/good alien drove a nice 928, just watched Critters again and the Billy Zane character had a nice silver 944.
