Mopars in tv & movies

[no poseur]

How do you lose a W500 dump truck?!?!? :dontknow:

:sign5:

 

[diymirage]

It seems like tv shows always have one make of vehicles. Criminal Minds has chevy, Bones has Toyota and NCIS has Mopar! I love NCIS and I LOVE Gibbs' Hemi Challenger!

its one thing to favour certain makes, its another to use your show as a plug for said vehicles (yes im talking about bones)


on a side note, im surprised no one has mentioned the movie highwaymen yet...hero driving a 68 barracuda chasing down the bad guy in a 72 Eldorado

Yea I love Bones but I thought it was sorta dumb how they used it to advertise toyota at times, like when Brennan parallel parked with her Prius.
