starsky and hutch car

The revamped version was the most easy-going of the different themes for the series, reflecting the last season's increased "buddy cop" feel. The First And Last Time Henry Ford Ever Raced, Top 50 TV Cars Of All Time: No. In contrast to police characters on U.S. TV in prior years, Starsky and Hutch were open with physical gestures of friendly/brotherly affection toward one another, often declaring that they trusted only each other (in an "us against the world"–type sense). During its life after Starsky and Hutch, #2 was wrecked and sold as salvage. The human stars of the show weren’t too crazy about the Gran Torino. For other uses, see, 1975 American cop thriller television series, Episode: "Hutchinson: Murder One" - Ken Hutchinson's ex-wife was featured in this episode, CS1 maint: BOT: original-url status unknown (. Unlike the pilot-movie cars, the first-season Torinos had no body-side mouldings, but did have body-colored sport mirrors, and brocade cloth split-bench seats. Starsky may have “owned” the car on the series, but Glaser has said in many interviews he hated the car in real life as it was huge, and terrible to handle at high speeds. It was dubbed to Spanish. No word as of yet if there’ll be a “Starsky and Hutch” edition, but I certainly wouldn't be too surprised if Ford did offer such a model if sales take off. In a show documentary tape made during the show's run that can be found on YouTube, the narrator intones that some Hollywood industry types referred to the characters as "French kissing prime-time homos". Tough Detective Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and educated Detective Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (David Soul) are plainclothes cops taking on dope dealers, muggers, and other thugs, aided by their red-and-white 1974 Ford Gran Torino and informant Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas). These cars were powered by 400 V8s (VIN code "S") because extra power was going to be needed for additional stunt driving scenes. Although a potential safety hazard at the time, the problem was solved by replacing the front bench of the number two Torino with bucket seats at Glaser and Soul's request; Glaser said in 1999, "It took us a year to get them to put bucket seats in it so David wouldn't slide all over the place whenever I took a corner.". Of course, the movie wouldn’t have been the same without a cameo appearance by the original stars of the hit TV show. Glaser deliberately mistreated the cars during close-up stunt scenes when he drove (this was admitted to in a 1997 letter he wrote to the owner of the #1 Torino; and in a first season DVD interview he said that he tried to "destroy" the cars) and would often stop the car by hitting the front wheels against curbs, as well as coming into driveways at high speed and bumping into garbage dumpsters.

When a remake came along in 2004 as a full-length movie, the same car made a comeback in all its glory, although with Ben Stiller as Starsky, Owen Wilson as Hutch, and Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear … with a nice end scene cameo by the true originals. These new cars also featured the complete bumper protection group option, which included horizontal black rub-strips on both bumpers that were not included on the pilot cars.
