c'est vrai qu'y a de l'idée... entre les deux j'hésite, le dessin ressemble aux deux à la fois :D Mais je pencherais plus pour la Chevy que pour la Buick (pour les Simpsons hein, pas pour celle de cette page-ci)

...and likely HERE in "The Ex-King of Diamonds": https://pics.imcdb.org/0is103/citroen2cv11po5.5379.jpg

A tan Riviera also appears in the ITV show "The Baron" in two episodes (see links below). "The Baron" had lots of parallels with the Saint, including the usual gang of actors, one of the same producers, the production manager, and in a couple cases, some identical scripts with the names changed.

With the appearance of this car so frequent in these two ITV shows, I wonder if it was either owned by someone at the studio and thus a convenient background car for a scene requiring a smart American car, or simply the production manager worked well with the owner. I know that a dark colored (gray?) VW Beetle appears occasionally in the show as a background car, and it was owned by the production manager Johnny Goodman. Reminds me of "The Rockford Files" with James Garner, and a Chevrolet Vega frequently showed up in the show because it was owned by a secretary at the production company.
