As I loaded up The Jefferson's theme song on the Rolls Royce thread I thought about the show intros stuck in my head.  I learned later about the Impala low rider but which ones were your favorites?

This one used to creep me out when I was a little kid.

I don't remember this show - the body roll in those Lincoln's is awesome.   I gotta find this show.

A Gerry Anderson live action show from the 70s. The futuristic cars were built by Alan Mann Racing of Ford GT 40 fame.

It's out there on DVD. I think I have a copy somewhere.

Another one I remember actually watching when I was a kid.

I've got a whole CD of TV themes. It makes for a fun crowd game to have people guess the shows, especially with mixed generations.

This is one of my favorites. Filmed all over Northern California where I grew up. I don't think that is a Sportster he is riding on that jump.

Here's another classic. Lots of racing footage in the intro. Now tell me that TV shows in the 60s and 70s weren't cooler than they are today.

This is from the real Bill Cosby Show. Not that yuppie suburban mess he did in the 80s. Quincy Jones wrote the music for this one and it was nominated for a Grammy. The Cobra that Carroll Shelby sold him in person was in one of the episodes.
