Roger's Cars
« on: September 28, 2006, 01:13:34 AM »
How many vehicles did this man drive??? I am watching the first episodes and he is driving a 68 Mustang. Later, I think he is driving a Plymouth Fury. :o

I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

I believe Roger's Mustang was a '66 Shelby Mustang or the even rarer Shelby Mustang GT-350 Hertz.  You'd think a car with such a pedigree would have a better track record on bleeder valves! ;D  Check out this website:

Can you believe this high performance gem was a rental/fleet car??  Perhaps that's why DC used it on DS - he only had to rent it for limited shooting. DC had great taste though - this one's a rare classic now.

For 2006, Ford and Shelby teamed up again:

Like DS, 2006 is the 40th anniversary of this fabled (Roger's) car!

Since you're watching from the beginning, Janet, I don't want to spoil it for you, but you'll see why Roger had to get a new car.
