Yea, seen them on UHF tv long ago, and there were two or three " The Bishop " skits.

Geez i can remember a close up of that 69 400 Firebird Convertible showing Ram Air IV stickers on the scoops, but have failed to produce the video. The scene was showing the car fully loaded with the bishop and crew driving from the road onto a grassy park and when the car stopped the camera did a super closeup on the scoops. Pterry exciting, and funny.

Can't tell, is that car right hand drive?

If you stop it at .47 seconds, you can see something on the scoop.

Dang, 400 emblems (not Ram Air IV stickers) and the Hood Tach;
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_84196-P...bird-1969.html

As seen at 2:34 when there are two of them standing tall or sitting on the Boot, for a brief instant under the bridge:

I DEFINITELY remember seeing two folks (one of the, was the Bishop) sitting on the Boot while parading from street to park lawn, and the camera zoms down on the hood scoops. Dang the video evidence escapes me (it was a different Bishop skit). I conceed that it was a 400 car, not a IV stickered car. For whatever reason that episode is gone gone gone

Here's one I put up about 7 years ago showing a Firebird 400 ragtop.

We have a couple channels around here that show all the old TV shows. It's amazing how many shows had cool old cars in them, and not just the obvious "I Dream Of Jeannie", "Adam-12", or "Bewitched". I happened to catch a few minutes of "The Doris Day Show", which was your basic sitcom, shot on film, with a heavy laugh track (think "Green Acres", "Get Smart", or Hogan's Heroes", where every line that every actor said was met with a laugh track).

In the opening credits for the "The Doris Day Show" (Season 2), she's drives a 1969 Barracuda convertible. The version they show on TV is crystal clear. The version of the opening credits on YouTube is grainy, but still worth watching

Don't know if any of you guys ever watch the animated show "Archer" but in a recent episode they sort of re-enacted the "Bullit" chase ... complete with the pontiac lemans that was parked on one of the streets in the chase in the movie.
