    On the TV series Mannix, he drove a 1972 cuda convertible.  Bet there's a pic somewhere.   :beer:

    Hey   :madvibe:  Mannix was cool. He was the only P.I. that could fight. Alot better than watching Cannon, or Barnabey Jones.  :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

    Mannix had a lot of neat cars.  Here's a list I found at http://www.jmannix.net/cars.htm

    66 Toronado
    68 Dart
    69 Dart
    70 Barracuda
    71 Barracuda
    72 Barracuda
    73 Challenger
    74 Camaro

    All were convertibles except the Challenger and Camaro.

    I know good ole Joe Mannix had a couple of Dart covertibles along the line, but I distinctly remember that 72 Cuda convertible was a medium(B-3???) blue.

    I can't argue about the color but the website I posted above says the Darts and Barracudas were all Dark Green.   :dontknow:

    Look, it's been a few years(I'm being kind to myself), but I could swear it was blue. I don't remember the Challenger either.  I must have slept thru that season.  :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

    I remember that color on TV's wasn't too realistic back then.  It only took a slight tweak to make green into blue.  Shows how old I am, huh? 

    MEK, looks like you slept thru the last two seasons!   :laughing:  Don't feel bad, I didn't remember them either!   :grinno:

    I grew up with 4 channels (2 PBS) black and white (if it worked) color (of various shades) and still managed to see a lot of the old shows before they dissapeared... I remeber black and white on the old color TV ... you are lucky to see anything in B&W these days....
