'67 Shelby on the 'Miami Vice' TV series

[Richstang]

Remember when we this was considered a cutting edge cool show? Try watching it now...not so much

I don't recall the episode, but it appears to be a real one or a very good clone.
They made it look like a well used Shelby. We can't even see the model GT350 or GT500 from all the rust.

Don't forget the white Keds sneakers.

I remember it being a GT 350, but that was over 30 years ago.

I'm sure someone will know the episode.
If we knew who the blonde actress was we could probably nail it down. I think 'COZI' TV still shows the episodes.

I like the "authentic" rust on the hood.  Man, it must be really rusty down there in FL.

Nice to see the Vice squad keeping a Shelby from being stolen.

Interesting that it looks like it might have the actual Florida license plate.  Usually plates are deleted or phony one put on the cars for movies and TV.

Hood rust? Why? Someone i.e. Hollywood needs better writers. It never ceases to amaze me the disconnect that writers have with such details. And it's not only with cars.

Richard,

IMO, the rust on the hood is more likely the fault of the prop guy, set decorator or transportation dept.  Or, once on set, the director yelled "Give it more rust!"

A doubt a TV writer would go into that much detail on a car in a one-hour (48 minute) show. 

It was probably more like "Old sports car with a lot of rust pulls up to the hotel. Blonde gets out as Crockett and Tubbs rush up and pull their guns on her."

But, yes, the attention to detail about cars that most TV/film writers know about, and/or give a story, isn't too deep.

Don after the series do you still keep in touch with Philip Michael Thomas
