car nerd ◊ 2008-05-18 00:49	1968 Mercury Park Lane. It may be a Brougham model but the Park Lane of this year was a two-door coupe only and was considered a sub-series of the Park Lane model.
carguy60 ◊ 2008-07-06 21:20	It's a Parklane Brougham. This car still exist and is owned by a friend of mine, who spent a small fortune restoring it after it's partial destruction on the show. Here are a few photos as it is today. This car, provided by Ford Motor Company, is equipped with nearly every option. Note the microphone on the dash.This is just a prop as no radio ever went with it. Under the hood is the original 428 V-8 engine. Here is the "dummy" roof antenna Driver's sunvisor is signed by actors Zulu, Kam Fong, and James McArthur. -- Last edit: 2009-01-19 04:23:42
HunterMan ◊ 2009-01-17 01:52	Those are some superb pics!!! I know the car was purchased by Michael Timothy in 1986, so is that your friend? Does he also own the 74 Merc that McGarrett drove at the last? I know that car was up for sale about 10 years ago by Jack Lord's stunt double, who Lord gave the car to at the end of the show's run. Would LOVE to see this car...I want to drive it everyday if I owned it, but I probably wouldn't, because that'd wear it out! LOL. Anyway, yes it's a 1968 Mercury Park Lane Brougham. That year also had a few Park Lane two-door convertibles made, but the standard was the 4 door sedan. McGarrett's first car in the Pilot was a two door 67 Mercury Marquis, but he started driving this Park Lane Brougham with the first actual series episode, and drove it through at least season 6. With season 7 came the 1974 Mercury Marquis Brougham, which he finished out the series with.
carguy60 ◊ 2009-01-19 04:22	Yes, Mike Timothy still owns the car, but not the '74 Grand Marquis. I know that one was sold, but I'm not sure of it's current location. The '67 Marquis used in the pilot was rented from Hertz and then returned to their fleet, so it's whereabouts is unknown.
Five-0 Fan ◊ 2009-03-04 20:58	I really want a model of this car (die cast?) for my desk, complete with the "Book Em" license plate. Does anyone know if there are models of this car for sale? If not, is there a company that could make one?
THE BIG BOPPER ◊ 2009-05-25 22:59	GOD BLESS YOUR FRIEND carguy60 THAT IS WHAT NEDS TO BE DONE RESTORE EM DO NOTT CRUSH EM PLEASE THESE CARS ARE NOT MADE ENNYMORE

I know that at one of the "Five-0" reunion conventions in the late 90's, Timothy did look at and drive the 74 Mercury. I was hoping/assuming he probably acquired it too and had restored it by now. But, maybe not?? Oh man, I hope whoever has it, is or has restored it and not "junked" it! -- Last edit: 2009-10-24 03:44:40

It may be a Brougham model but the Park Lane of this year was a two-door coupe only and was considered a sub-series of the Park Lane model. Actually this is not true. The Park Lane of this year (1968) was not a two-door coupe only. Most Park Lanes for '68 were 4-door hardtops (like McGarrett's and the one pictured here). The Mercury Monterey had 2-door hardtops though--maybe you are thinking of them.
FiveOguy ◊ 2009-11-17 18:32	HunterMan, Your friend is very fortunate to have the car and I love the story behind the acquisition. Would your friend have any interest in selling the Mercury? I would be very interested.
FiveOguy ◊ 2009-11-17 18:36	Oops, I just realized that it is actually carguy60 who knows Mike Timothy. I apologize for my error. My questions remains, would Mike be interested in talking about selling the car?
HunterMan ◊ 2009-11-22 20:08	FiveOguy, That's okay...I wish I did know Mike Timothy! Awesome username too..."Hawaii Five-0" is one of my all-time favorite shows! Anyway, I seriously doubt Mike would be interested in selling the car, as from what I understand he went through a lot of "blood-sweat-n-tears" (and I assume probably a lot of $$$ too ) to acquire the remains of the Parklane from an old CBS warehouse in Hawaii--then the process of completely restoring it. I would bet the man will keep the car until he dies...I would! I would be happy to just someday get to see the car...maybe sit in it or get a ride in it. -- Last edit: 2009-11-22 20:11:14
FiveOguy ◊ 2009-11-25 18:49	HunterMan, I agree with you completely and would love the opportunity just to see the car. Just wanted to put it out there that I would like to talk to Mike about what it would take for him to consider selling the car. I would certainly make sure that it was cared for and appreciated.
HunterMan ◊ 2009-11-30 07:59	Timothy acquired what was left of the car and began restoring it in 1986--almost 24 years ago, but I assume he does still have the Parklane. I don't know how old Timothy is and/or where he lives now. It appears that carguy60 might be your best bet to get a hold of him...but I wouldn't hold your breath on Mike selling it.
carguy60 ◊ 2010-01-08 06:41	FiveOguy, I have talked to my friend and both he and the Parklane are doing fine. He has no plans to sell the car at any price and is not willing to discuss the matter.
FiveOguy ◊ 2010-01-11 22:31	Carguy60, I appreciate your note. I am happy to hear that both friend and Parklane are doing well. Please just know that I remain interested at any point in time should your friend be willing to part with the car. I am both a great fan of the show and a serious car collector so it would have a new loving home.
carguy60 ◊ 2010-02-01 00:51	FiveOguy, Don't keep your hopes up. I'm ahead of you in line for it!
