Stinger390X Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Close....I believe the cop car is a 78 or79 Plymouth Fury as police used them all over north america. (I drove one as a miled out car for a cab company. Wow did it fly!!! The speedometer stopped at 160!!!not 120 like the regular cars)The Ford Econoline is a 63 or a 64 Hard to see the detail in the grile and the tailights to be sure.The Mercedes is a 1980 model and the motorhome is a Ford E-350 econoline.Hope that helps...?

jurassic narc Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 thurmond refers to the lawyer in season 2's "one way ticket". sorry if i spoiled it for you.i missed the swartz part of that article myself. no real daytona made it to the final product of any vice episode that i've seen.The car seen briefly in the pilot (but not driven) is a real Daytona. I believe that the car that Thurmond drives in ONE WAY TICKET is also a real Daytona leased for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 here's a 77ish monacothe split grill looks the same as the one in the ep to me. the fury appears to have a one piece grill. maybe that changed (or interchanged) on different years. i dunno. once again' date=' i'm no car expert.[/quote']Your "77ish" comment is correct. In 1976 a law was passed alowing car companies, Ford Chevy and Chrysler, to make the folowing model years have square headlights. Up until then the school of thought was that only a clear focused beam was possible from a round light. The 1977 models of the big three started using the new "Swuare headlights" There were duals and quads for many makes and models.By the way...it wasn't until 1992 that European style wrap around headlights were allowed in North American built vehicles. Look where its at now????????My ... how things have changed.................? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
