Someone in this forum recommended some time ago to watch the early Rockford Files to see a good S. Cal. spread of auto life. So I finally took twenty-four hours off from life, checked out the first three seasons ('74-77), and came to the following, otherwise unsupported, conclusions. TR3's had, by the mid-'70s long since passed into the hands of third and fourth generation kids, had been driven, however much loved, to near distinction. The 15% survivors (like mine, I might say,) were mostly stored away and had little or no street presence.
From those first three seasons of Rockford I saw a few E-Jags, one ratty MGA (with a hard top), some Porsches, one lovely TR6, and myriad VW beetles. About all one can say about the vulgar remainder is: no Hondas, no Toyotas.
Well, I was in Manhattan at the time, so I have no sense whatsoever of "America." But as for TV/Movie retrospectives, from now on I'm strictly '60s. One feels much more in TR3 territory watching early Godard, Fellini, not to mention Russ Meyer.
