" Top Ten TV Detectives' Cars "
" Top Ten TV detectives’ cars "
" With this year’s revival of the 1970s hit cop show Hawaii Five-0, it got me thinking about all the great television detective shows from the past, and the cars the main characters drove. Although many of the wheels weren’t all that special, or great to drive, what the detectives drove on screen helped shape the character’s personality in viewers’ minds.

Just read tonight that Falk was told to pick a car off the studio lot that he thought would suit his role. |
Looks like the originator of the " Top 10 ' missed or didn't consider a number of cars on the TV programs

Here's another from the show "The Persuaders". I'm not sure if you'd consider Roger Moore and Tony Curtis detectives in that series but the Aston sure was a beauty. |
