Land's End is currently ( March 2025) ) on Amazon Prime. It is filmed on the Baja Peninsula at Land's End, Mexico. In episode 2 Mike (Fred Dryer) has just purchased a 66 GTO convertible, dark blue with a white interior from Junior's car sales. His daily driver. Has a/c, aftermarket wood wheel,and windshield wipers. Cruises around Land's End as a detective with the top down and the rear quarter glass raised up. I've been to Land's End and can vouch for having a white interior over any other convertible color interior in that climate!
I get a kick out of the show... as his Firebird is to James Garner's "Rockford", the GTO is to Fred Dryer's Land's End. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
