In the pilot episode, Jack drove a 1967 Marquis fastback 2 door hardtop. After that he drove the 1968 Park Lane 4 door hardtop that most people remember, at least for the first couple of years. But every once in a while you would see a clip of that 67 go by and then he got out of the 68. The cars were very similar and only one year apart but the roofs were completely different. This was even in the first year. I heard it explained once that filming in Hawaii wasn't all that cheap so they cut corners when they could. Still, all in all, another great show from the past and that Mercury was a good lookin' car, both of em.

The episodes Sandy is talking about are almost comical. Completely different bodies, etc. The only things in common were both were made by Ford and both were black.
