Sorry, nothing tops the Lotus 7 in The Prisoner opening that was driven, and built, by Patrick McGoohan.

That guy has a series of TV show car videos. I watched his "Get Smart" one and it was pretty decent. They bounced from Chrysler to GM products partway through the series run.

Get Smart was undoubtedly my favorite TV show as a kid.  Loved the intro.  Got to thinking about the little 2-door roadster in the intro, and started watching videos.  Red Sunbeam Tiger, blue Karmann Ghia, forgot about the Opel GT, and never knew the car in the pilot was a Ferrari, and I think there was an Alfa Romeo Spider.  Anybody have a definitive list?

Also my favorite growing up. Of course it stopped airing about 12 years before I was born, so I watched reruns. Along with the Dick Van Dyke show. And Mr. Ed. 

I can't remember what segment/channel that showed it.

You'd also need to get one of those big balloons that would bounce around and recapture him at the end of every episode.  smiley  (I think the writers of that show were smoking something, it was pretty weird.)

Dude, STFU. She aged 25 years, is still beautiful and talented, and by all accounts is one of the kindest people around. And comparing a movie still-shot with perfect lighting, to a paparazzi shot in an airport or somewhere, is just stupid. Unless we can do the same to you, which might be fun. Post'em up.

Back to the cars!

I believe the Alfa was in a made for TV movie in the 80's.

A pretty good description of the cars here
