capt_furious Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm watching the series on Hulu (It's one of the FEW things I remember fondly from the '80s), and I'm about halfway through the first season. Where the heck are all of these powder blue cars coming from? It seems there's at least one in every episode that takes a hard hit for the camera. Was there some government agency using that particular livery that was clearing these babies out cheap at auction? Watch a few of them and you'll see what I mean. There are two just in the opening credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Pastel blue was a common factory color for all makes in the 1960s to 1980s. I remember when an Earl Sheib paint job was $69 for pastel and $89 for metallic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 The car supplier for the studio probably bought a fleet sale from a municipality. Maybe 50 Dodge Coronets all painted NYPD blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
