Update,

the Rockford car was a Firebird Esprit model -- which was one level up from the base Firebird. It seems almost every season they gave him the latest model, until the last few seasons when -- one of the Rockford websites says -- the production company actually leased a souped up Esprit, which happened to come with ram air intakes on the hood. They are said to have replaced the hood with a standard, no intake hood so it would not look drastically different from previous seasons. They apparently turned the vehicle back in to an LA dealer where they leased it -- and some dude now owns it (lucky dog), along with a certificate of authenticity proving it was THE car.

The above was posted in 2003, i've just joined so I have a bit of catching up to do!

How many cars did he get through? I can think of 4 occasions, including the first episode, when it was blown up. I take it there was a policy of replacing the old with an identical replacement, and his printing press always got out in one piece!

The 74 was blown up in the first episode, in Gearjammers, The Birds The Bees and the TT Flowers it went over a cliff, and he lost one in the cove to an explosion.

It was after TT I think he got the later model.

I have also noticed in later episodes, they used footage of earlier stories, and his 78 Esprit suddenly for a few seconds became a 74, then change back again. A story recently shown here in the UK, during a chase the car changed 4 times!!!

They have just began re running them (again) here in the UK, and in an early episode, where he still lived at 2354, his car mysteriously became a 78 Esprit!

What Ford vehicle did James Bond show up in in Casino Royale?

 

Correct! Actually, I think James Garner got a new model every year for the first 3-4 years of the series, which started in '74. The car was a Firebird Esprit.

What about Rocky?

 

Are you talking about the Aston Martin? (Soon to be sold by Ford...).

BTW, did you notice how many Fords were used in Casino Royale? Almost every vehicle seemed to be a Ford, especially the police vehicles. Explorers and Crown Vics galore!

 

Yeah, made me think they were filming it in Canada, lol. James bond first appeared driving a Ford vehicle before he got the Aston Martin which they had a hell of a time getting to roll over in the chase scene because the bloody thing was so inherently stable.
