Where To Watch
Can you guess the makes of these famous classic TV cars?
See if you can separate Ferraris from Fords.
The cars that classic TV characters drive become so prominent over a series run, they often feel like characters themselves. Heck, on shows like Knight Rider, they undeniably were.
A lot of thought goes into choosing the right set of wheels for TV's best detectives and sitcom families alike, but it takes an extra layer of paying attention to remember what kind of car you watched cruise around on television shows from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Not bad............9/12
don't think I've ever seen a Route 66 episode
4 / 12 Not an avid car enthusiast
I'm looking forward to "Knight Rider" joining the Me-Tv schedule. One car you left out was the 1914 Stutz Bearcat from "Bearcats". It was the Trans-Am of it's time. Also, I'm positive a series of hour shows on classic tv cars on the weekends would be a big ratings hit.
I was 5/12 but considering that i guessed on most of them i think i did ok.
7 out of 12. I guessed on every one.
7/12 Missed 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.
9/12.........
You got 11 out of 12
Columbo knew you'd sniff out the right car. Nice job!

9/12! missed 2 6 and 8!
Got half right (and half wrong). The only ones I knew for sure were the Sunbeam and the Peugeot. Those are the kinds of cars I liked.
12/12--Easy peasy (for me anyhow).
12/12! I really like cars. {Specifically retro models.} Just wish I knew what it was like to sit behind the wheel of one. Correction, I have sat behind the wheel, just not when its been in motion. I have a depth perception problem. Remember on the outside mirrors they used to have the disclaimer "Items in the mirror may appear closer than they really are?" {Or something like that.} Well, that's how my eyes operate. I cannot judge the distance between them. Doctors have warned me never to drive, so I have heeded their warning. But that doesn't stop me from liking cars. Corvettes are my favorite! {Any year, but specifically the 1961, {year of my birth,} models and the the 1963 Split. By Split I am referring to the rear window. That was the only year they were manufactured. I've gotten to touch them, and be near them, just never had the chance to sit in one. With the way my knees are now, I know I couldn't. But I still love them!!
Oh, yeah, the '61. A friend of my (ex) husband has one--he brought it over a few years ago to show us! BEAUTIFUL!
8/12, and guessed.
