When Fort Myers real estate owners think of hot cars on 1980s prime-time television, they must picture detectives in sunglasses riding around the beach in gorgeous Ferraris. Otherwise, you may think of a 1969 Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag painted on its body or a talking Firebird, if not a black and gray van with a red stripe. No matter which automobiles a Fort Myers luxury homeowner remembers from TV in the Eighties, each of these Reagan-Era rides stands the test of time.
Jake Myers is an accountant with Fort Myers homes for sale. He is sure that no television show could be more fun than the good ‘ol car racing in The Dukes of Hazzard. Inside one of his homes for sale in Fort Myers, Jake thinks the most memorable part of the show is the 1969 Dodge Charger, also known as the General Lee. Despite being on probation for smuggling moonshine, the cousins manage to foil crooked schemes being carried out by the corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg.
The Fort Myers luxury homeowner believes that it is not the sophisticated writing of The Dukes of Hazzard that make the series ageless. Rather, it is the fabulous muscle cars and magnificent chases. The Dukes’ 1969 Dodge Charger is easily recognizable for its Confederate flag painted on the roof and the number 1 on each door. The Fort Myers real estate owner loves that the doors are welded closed, as it was originally built to be a racecar.
Rachel is another Fort Myers real estate owner who believes there’s no cooler private investigator than Magnum P.I. Thomas magnum drove around Oahu, Hawaii in a red Ferrari solving various crimes. Magnum lives the life, surrounding by beautiful women and solves crime in a thick mustache. The Fort Myers real estate owner’s favorite feature of the show is Magnum’s Ferrari 308 GTS.
A Fort Myers real estate owner named Hank digs Knight Rider’s black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, KITT, that featured a front mounted scanner bar, as well as a startling Turbo Boost to jump over obstacles obstructing the road. KITT also had explosive-proof body armor that could withstand firearms and drills. Watching the show in his Fort Myers real estate, Hank loves the cheesy one-liners, as well as the customized 1982 Firebird featured artificial intelligence that spoke to the driver, decades before Fort Myers real estate owners had Siri.
Just about every Fort Myers real estate owner agrees that Miami Vice was a groundbreaking series. Not only was it one of the first American network television programs to be broadcast in stereophonic sound, it used a top-notch soundtrack and was mixed in stereo. The Fort Myers real estate owner’s favorite character, Sonny Crockett, drove two gorgeous Ferraris. The narcotics agent from South Florida drove a black Daytona Spyder 365 GTS/4 during the first two seasons. After being blown into pieces at the start of Season 3, the fortunate policeman began driving a 1986 Testarossa. Crockett’s partner, Ricardo Tubbs, also drives an object of beauty, a 1964 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Convertible. Fort Myers real estate owners know beauty when they see it.
