Where To Watch
Are these cool classic cars from Adam-12 or Charlie’s Angels?
Both shows featured amazing autos, from muscle cars to hippie vans.
The 1970s produced some of pop culture’s most iconic autos. The era was so cool that even background vehicles and cars used for just a few scenes are eye-catching.
Here are some of the coolest cars seen in two automobile-oriented series: Adam-12 and Charlie’s Angels. Some belonged to main characters, others appeared onscreen only briefly.
Can you match each car to the right show? Bonus points if you ever drove one of these slick rides. Let us know in a comment!

I got 15 out of 20. I feel good about that even as a car junkie, I hardly ever watched Charlie's Angel's
I’ve got to watch more TV🥹

# 8 Why trade a 65 Mustang for a Matador coupe???
17/20 I hit a few bumps here 🚔
20/20 ! that hasn't happened before !
Well I'm pretty far behind the curve here- y'all beat me to the checkered flag. But I was very excited to see the iconic '55 Chevy in #10 (I am sorry to the folks that were convinced it was a Peugot- that rod would eat a little French car for breakfast). Pretty cool to learn it was in "Adam-12" though.
As 'dancscanlanMeTV" pointed out many comments below it is the famous car that Harrison Ford drove in "American Graffiti". I need to dust off that one and have another look - it's been many dozen moons since I saw it last.
But for me it's biggest role was in "Two Lane Blacktop", the Monte Hellman 'road' movie from 1971 starring James Taylor as "The Driver", Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys) as "The Mechanic", Laurie Bird as "The Girl" and Warren Oates as "GTO". Really drove home the point that I was born just about 5-8 years too late. I would have been out on the highway driving around the country immediately upon exiting the theatre!

So much attention on the cars, mainly pertaining to Charlie's Angels.
I guess this means Charlie's Angels is coming to MeTV? For Summer??

That would be an interesting change. It was nice when they used to post schedule changes like:

( No time stamp, just an old article they posted) It will be interesting if they have anything for this summer. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Eh, not the best but I'm not a car aficionado.
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
And we're headin' on down to the love shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
