Best 70's TV show for car nostalgia

No doubt. I watched a couple episodes today and saw all manner of cars we sometimes yak about here.

First gen Civics, Vegas, Brits (MG, Triumph, Austin), VWs, Stangs, Camaros, an endless list. And since it's a Cali show all the cars are rust free and in amazing shape. I watched 3-4 episodes just to see what cars would pop up. I wasn't disappointed. Not to mention seeing glorious Kz1000 police bikes.

Wow! Before I clicked into this thread, I was going to suggest CHiPs! I was amazed when I saw that first thing in your post. We must be brothers Wally.

I was wasting time on Pluto TV (free TV app. if you dont have it I strongly suggest giving it a try) and came across "EMERGENCY!"

Previously I would have said Chips as well, but now Emergency has surpassed it simply due to it starting in '72 and thus running a few years earlier and having older stuff.

Granted I only watched 2 episodes, so maybe I got lucky, but those 2 were loaded with cool cars.

Ponch had a sweet Firebird in some of the early episodes...




Tony Nelson's GTO (for you I Dream of Jeannie fans)...




Larry Tate's Corvette (from Bewitched)...




Mike Brady's Hemi Cuda convertible 4-speed with 4:10 Dana 60...



...or maybe it was a slant 6 slushbox with a 2:73 rear...


The Beverly Hillbillies was always good for some Mopar action. Miss Hathaway getting ready to side-step the clutch at 5,000 RPMs in this 440 6-pack Challenger...



Oh wait...it's another slant-6 car with a slushbox...

Oh man the Vert E-bodies reminded me... how could I forget Mannix!?! He had a whole host of convertibles including some that were never made... like a Toronado, 68 and 9 Dart GTS, and this 72 Cuda

Another excellent choice as Robert Fuller was a main character to boot.
