Buy 30 TV SERIES CARS

During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, many television series starred cars. Some have become almost as popular, sometimes even as popular, as the heroes who drove them. Even today, when we talk about series such as Magnum, Starsky & Hutch, Columbo or K2000, it is often the cars that come to mind with nostalgia. Although they began to become rarer in the 1990s, these often prestigious associations between a hero and his machine still persist with a public that has not forgotten the very exclusive Ferraris of Two Cops in Miami nor the respectable Bentleys of Chapeau bowler and leather boots, no more than Lieutenant Columbo's dilapidated Peugeot 403. Having become an extension of the personality of certain characters from more recent television series (Californication, Lucifer...), these cars are today so famous that all the automobile museums in the world exhibit them and they are resold at auction at prices often astonishing. 30 Cars from TV series is full of anecdotes about the production of the series and the history of these models that have become stars. Illustrated with numerous photos, many of which have never been seen before, from private collections, studios and sometimes even the archives of the vehicle owners, the book also includes a guide to filming locations to follow in the footsteps of the heroes of Prisoner, Breaking Bad or Peaky. Blinders.
