I don't remember where I actually saw it , but the writer / producer of the show , when he originally wrote script , the red Ford Torino , was actually suppose to be a green Chevy Camaro , but at the time ABC had a contract with Ford , so , well , they had to use a Ford

If you ever watch an interview with Paul Michael Glaser , he hated that car , always said it could never get out of it's own way , and tried to wreck it every chance he could .................lol
