Well shut the front door, I think your right.. they probably got it wrong on the that movie site the pic came from.

Nightshade Green ? ? ? I'll tell what was green, the chit they roasted for lunch that day, heh !

It does appear it could be, "letz jus call it Nightshade shall we"? as mentioned though, hard to tell.





As for the other one Greg, looks like possibly Verdoro ?





BTW I think you totally high jacked your own thread, if that's possible.

Not that I mind, I'm thoroughly enjoying the ride...

LOL....I didn't even recall that it was my thread until you said that.

As for the promo shot...I honestly think that it could be the same car and both of them could be Nightshade.
Just shows to go ya'....these metallics can be tricky, especially in older photos.

68 Malibu cream puff survivor - factory paint - code V





Can you guys tell why you think the GTO is from Partridge Family - not IDOJ ?
That's not the Partridge house, and that isn't Ruben Kincaid.

Can't remember his name, but he is older-taller-and has a bigger nose than the guy who played Kincaid.
He did a lot of small parts on a lot of shows.
Ruben always drove Chevy's on Partridge show , iirc.

In case those were the reasons ?
IDOJ always used new Pontiacs - mostly GTO's and upper level Birds

For reference, this is a Nightshade Green 1968 GTO, two-tone with a white roof, original owner.
