This was taken from a chase scene in the "Crime Pays" episode of season one. It is definitely a background car in most instances. Here is another shot of the same car in the "Hide And Go Thief" episode from the same season: [url=http://www.worldwideretro.com/modules/coppermine/albums/Crime%20Story%20Cars/Hide_And_Go_Thief_59_Buick.jpg] [/url] -- Last edit: 2007-03-05 16:14:14
