It's fun to watch season 2 and 3 where they switch back and forth between the 68 and 69... They drive by in a 68 and then the next thing you know they're in a 69 LOL same scene....
In the first show, which looks like it was a pilot episode, Reed and Malloy have a '67 Belvedere. Malloy gives Reed a speech about the car that's reminiscent of Elwood describing the Bluesmobile, only longer and more cop-serious.
The credits, however, show what was probably a brand new '68 that wasn't available when the pilot episode was filmed.
