when did Kojak start driving a Chevelle?! I don't know what the site that image came from says, but that ain't no Regal. Regal sedans were a lot more curvy, with front fenders that had a Monte Carlo-esque "french curve" that swooped down as it went back. Here's a pic of one...
For 1976-77, the Century and Regal coupes, got more squared off, angular styling, but the sedans kept that swoopy style through '77, after which they were downsized and the Regal was returned, temporarily, to coupe-only status. They did graft stacked rectangular headlights onto the '76-77 sedans, though.

Yup. Definitely the Volt.
Just watched the unveling videos yesterday.
Too bad it is still 2 years away. And probably 2.5-3 years before they are readily available (meaning no wait list). GM finally comes up with something that people will fall over themselves to get, but by the time they get it to market, they will probably already have been leap-frogged by Toyota/Honda.

I never really watched Kojak much as a kid, so I don't remember much about it, except for that brown Buick. Did Kojak get a new Buick every year, or did he have to stick it out with that same '74 or so Regal through to the end?

Jim Rockford, on the other hand, did get a new brown Firebird each year.

I defer to your expetise on those Andre, I neither know or care much about '70s Buicks (or any Buick since about '67). They probably posted the wrong picture on that website, thinking it was a Regal.
They posted another shot of a different TV Dick's 1970's GM ride>
What year is that one?

That's Jim Rockford's Pontiac Firebird Esprit. Can't tell if it's a '77 or '78, though. The '76 still had single round headlights, while the '79-81 had the grille inserts down low in the bumper, rather than between the headlights.

easy on the Buicks, andys120......many of the post 67 Buicks were no worse vehicles than some of the automotive carcasses you dig up almost daily.........I do enjoy your posts, andys, you definitely put the "M" in mystery on this site..........
