1. Yeah, we all know that TV detective Nash Bridges drove a ‘Cuda convertible. What earlier TV detective drove one?

During the 1972-73 season Mannix's car (a 1973 Plymouth Cuda convertible) were actually three 1971 models updated (by changing the grill/headlights, hood, and taillights panel) to look like a 1973 Cuda, as Plymouth no longer made the Cuda as a convertible, and driving a convertible had been a Mannix trademark since the show began.

2. In the TV show, The Brady Bunch, the Bradys all drove Chrysler Corporation vehicles (until the final season).

Carol, on the other hand, drove only two vehicles: a 1970 Plymouth Satellite wagon, and a 1971 Plymouth Satellite wagon (which took the "bunch" on their infamous Grand Canyon trip). The vehicles were loaned to Paramount by the Chrysler Corporation for filming.

5. There is some dispute concerning the car in the movie Christine. Most say the car was a 1958 Plymouth Fury. However, others suggest that it was a 1958 Belvedere with a 350 cu. in. Golden Commando engine option. Because Furys only came in Buckskin beige with anodized gold trim including the grille. The grille "V" was silver on Furys. Christine on the other hand had anodized silver trim with a gold grille "V". This was the trim for a Belvedere.

9. The first motor vehicles used in actual combat by the U.S. Army were the 1916 Dodge touring cars in which forces under the command of Brig. Gen. John "Black Jack" Pershing pursued and engaged Pancho Villa following Villa's raid on Columbus, N.M., March 6, 1916. A young Army lieutenant, George S. Patton, saw his first motorized combat as a member of this "punitive expedition." Villa was a Dodge guy, too, and Pershing’s expedition failed to capture him. Villa's end came seven years later in 1923 in the town of Parral, where he let down his guard for a moment. He drove his Dodge out of town on a predictable route – one where a band of armed assassins waited until he rounded a corner, then fired hundreds of shots into the car, killing Villa and his bodyguard.
