I've been watching a TV series with some great cars of the fifties and sixties. It's called Crime stories with Dennis Farina it is a real hoot. It is on IMDT
Dennis Farina, God rest his soul, played the part of a maniac very well. He was great in the movie snatch
My son just put Netflix on my TV, lots of good movies to watch. I have Firestick too, think I watched that for close to a year and nothing else.
I used to love that show! It was on TV in the late 1980's, I believe. The show was developed by Michael Mann, the same guy that created Miami Vice. Great show with killer music -- however the DVD collection that you can buy does not have any of the same soundtrack because they wouldn't spring for the rights on DVD. Ruined it. Good to know it is running again in (I hope) its original form.
Lt. Mike Torello: "Hey you. You hurt anybody else, when this is over, I'm gonna find what you love the most and I'm gonna kill it. Your mother, your father, your dog... don't matter what it is, it's dead."
cadillac bob and i were dropping his 52 lincoln off at the painters for a little touch up paint. at the shop was an early 60's caddy for sale once owned by dennis farina. we checked it out so we got that going for us
Damn! That was a cool show! The gullet of Las Vegas. The hot rods. The music. Good Cop sense. The atomic age...
I loved that show when it first came out! Santa brought me the DVD set one Christmas. As I recall Dennis Farina was the real deal. Originally he was on the Chicago Police Dept. and then went to Crime Story
Forgot about the music issueregarding the DVDs but still a good show. I know what I'll be watching in a few hours!
And if you like "Crime Story", check out "Private Eye" (1987) series starring Michael Woods who drives a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible and Josh Brolin who has a chopped 50 Mercury. Its on Youtube. Also appearing in the series is Benicio del Toro, so Josh and Benicio teamed up long before their killer (pun intended) roles in "Sicario."
Thank you I will certainly check out. I like your car I want to be Mike Tarullo where I beat-up tough guys and getting different girls every week. But I am old and have girly arms that is not happening
My favorite show growing up, that and dukes of hazzard of course. I'll have to see if I can find it on my TV. Whats old is new again
Achtung, achtung! It's on Youtube under "private eye 1987" and it's free. "private eyes" is something entirely different. I DO relate to your comment. My s-i-l says that I am "tighter than bark on a tree" and he's right, but being thrifty has allowed me to indulge my automania and automotive obsessions. Enjoy.
