IN GEAR
« on: July 20, 2002, 12:42:24 PM »
With all this extracurricular activity going on ::) I thought it might be nice to give Julia or Joe some wheels to get at there destination faster. Joking aside :P, It might be interesting to match you favorite character with a vehicle. We only saw cars in the beginning of the Series and sort of got an idea of the Collins' taste. Match up your favorite character(s) with a model and make of a vehicle. Joe Haskell looks the Ford truck type. While Angelique  or Nicky Blair are behind the wheel of a Jag or Mercedes Roadster...Have fun!

I don't think Willie hitched rides.....

I think he hot-wired them.

::)In keeping with his love of the past, Barnabas would probably drive a post-WWll Rolls Royce, assuming they were made at that time (I don't really know) or possibly a 194-something Packard which he keeps in mint condition---black, of course!
               Misty, who wishes she had one of these cars right now!!

No, I think that was Harry Johnson before Carolyn hired him as the chauffeur. I could see Willie driving an El Dorado. Mrs. Johnson probably had a station wagon.

Didn't Harry Johnson drive a very cross Elizabeth to the Piggly-Wiggly in a 1949 Hudson in DRIVING MISS 'LIZBETH?

Oh, wait... different thing altogether. ;)

(As a bit of trivia, the '49 Hudson in DRIVING MISS DAISY belongs to my great uncle, who is a collector of antique cars. The Academy sent him a mock Oscar in 1990 for Best Supporting Automobile.)

Nickolas Blair - A Mercedes Benz of course

Roger- Probably a cadillac

Mrs.Johnson- If she's lucky enough to even own a car, it's most likely to be an old one, a stationwagon at best.

Carolyn - A Camaro

Barnabas- why drive when you can fly?

Vicky - Since we see her driving occasionally on the show and judging from how crowded in she and Barnabas looked together in the car right before the accident, the only car that I could think of for her was a Volkswagon or a Pinto.

Actually we already know what Roger drives.  It's a Mustang.

For some reason I always picture Julia in a Buick.

Whatever kind of vehicle Barnabas may drive, it is certain that he refers to it as a "horseless carriage"...
