Watched the premier episode...forgot about last nights....  Looked like a cool show though

 I just watched the first show on ABC.com (the 2nd episode which I haven't yet seen is there too)
It's based on a successful BBC show and there's also a spanish version according to Wikipedia...
I enjoyed it, especially Gretchen Mol who's certifiably yummie.



If you get the chance see her as Betty Page in "The Notorious Bettie Page".

Anyhow,.. in that first show att he end when he chats with the kid at the end he's parked next to a Terbine Bronze Convert Coronet R/T.
What i didn't get though among all the great old cars was why the NYPD would have 1965 Plymouths in 1973, here in S.F. we were running new city vehicles every two to three years...
Perhaps that was the only year cop cars they could get in any quanity since all the MOPARs were wrecked in The Blues Brothers...
nice selection of period cars worth seeing for them, and Ms Mol..

I liked the second episode better than the premier.  Looking forward to next week's installment.

I watched it last night for the first time. I liked the show itself and the cars are a bonus. Nice Chevelle in it last night.

the only reason i started watching it was for the cars , turns out the show isnt all that bad . ill like it alot better when i see a 73 road runner . 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Anyone know where is is actually filmed?

[moparstuart]

no but i figured new york ?

[BigRed66]

This is a great show. I love all the old Mopars (even the drab '72 Coronet) and Michael Imperioli (a.k.a. "Christophah") was born to rock the fu manchu. Harvey Keitel is good in it, Gretchen Mol is tasty, and the guy who's the main character DOES, as that girl said in the 2nd episode, put you in mind of Steve McQueen. He downgraded, though, when he went back in time; he went from driving a Jeep to a '70 POS Chevelle...poor guy.

micheal plays an ass in this show but i loved him in the saprono's.  He really does have the 70's look down for this show !!

[Brock Samson]

sideburns and big pointy lapels will do that.. 
suprising amount of talant in the cast for a main stream TV (ABC) production, I guess HBO and the cable shows have raised the bar.

wonder if they would like to recreate a chase with me
