jwramc ◊ 2005-08-01 23:57	LTD sedan.
antp ◊ 2005-08-02 09:28	Well the previous comment said the opposite
Callahan ◊ 2006-01-22 14:20	It's a Galaxie or even a Custom 500. It was made to look old in the series when actually it was a fairly new vehicle. It had to be a beater, because Hutch wasn't supposed to like cars as opposed to Starsky in his shiny red Torino. All vehicles again furnished by FoMoCo.
antp ◊ 2006-05-26 22:36	Why 5

antp ◊ 2006-06-14 10:20	Then it would be 4
trucker ◊ 2006-08-05 04:21	Faster, I doubt it!

lightfoot1976 ◊ 2006-09-19 18:19	"cops need love too"
Callahan ◊ 2007-03-17 21:16	These full-size Fords were most commonly referred to as just "Ford" in period literature. The Ford was the top of the line full-size. The Torino was an "intermediate" Big Fords were most of the time more carefully assembled. Both cars were huge, and when parked alongside both appear just as big. If the Torino was powered by the 351 2v and the "Ford" by a 460 big block I can imagine David Soul's claim of his car being faster. He wasn't supposed to like cars in the series.

Raul1983 ◊ 2007-03-24 00:19	and in slow motion
car nerd ◊ 2007-03-24 05:44	The car "double" taking the dive off the mountain side is a 1970 Ford Custom
tommy mac ◊ 2007-07-25 03:30	The car rolling down the hill is a Custom. The other car in the front shots appear to me to be 74 LTD, which in the other photo's had larger integrated tail lamps. The LTD's were Cop cars used in my home town.
Raul1983 ◊ 2008-02-03 14:32	ep 3.16 I like this town. Everyone has a full-size Galaxie 500 Kenneth Hutchinson's car local sheriff even local Satanist group leader has one
TheHeartbreakKid15 ◊ 2008-03-29 22:59	Car first appeared in Season 1 Episode 1.
MaindrianPace ◊ 2008-11-09 00:59	ep. 4.18 - Targets Without A Badge: Part 1 (The Snitch) Hutches personal and unmarked police car is actually a beat up beige cream colored 1973 Ford Galaxie 500 with mix matched parts. The car would eventually blow up on the fourth season episode Targets Without A Badge. -- Last edit: 2012-09-02 00:45:52 (G-MANN)
CanUK ◊ 2009-06-13 05:38	After Hutch's car meets its end rolling down the cliff the guys get him a 'new' junker to drive, which he loves at first sight - what was that and was it used in following episodes or did they revert to the resurrected original Galaxy?
monacoguy ◊ 2010-05-19 02:44	The one that blew up was actully hutches @nd car the first was wrecked in a episode where he was drove off the road. Threw out most of the episode he was traped under the car. When he got out of the hospital strasky had a replica of it waiting for him
