The only car I recall other than the Duke of Hazzard’s is Colombo’s jalopy.

I’ve heard rumors from someone who claims to have jogged past that car out in a field. I believe I know where that car is today...

PS most of those cars were designed by George Barris, king of the Kustoms. He’s outlived Ed Roth (and made far more cars, certainly into the modern day).

He also made the Weinermobile and the Little Duce Coupe he built AND photographed on the Beach Boys’ album cover.

Steve McQueen’s “Bullitt”, seems to come to mind as being more memorable than some of the cars mentioed.
