Siegfried: Shtarker, zis is KAOS, we don't Dududu here.

I just voted red, but I think I'm wrong. The Sunbeam Alpine was red.

Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

For people who have tapes of the re-runs, look at the season 3 and 4 start credits... The answer is very obvious there.

Andrew

ps. It's my favorite color, when I'm not driving a metallic silver or polar white car.

I wife voted blue but I have it from a reliable source that after the black and white years it was actually red. I'm going to go with red but black and slammed sounds nicer😉.

That was quick!!

I checked out the site after voting but kept mum about the answer, wasn't sure how long the poll would last. That how I got to know red was the wrong answer🙁

Did 99 ever drive anything. Somehow I imagine her on a nice Vespa!!!😀

They used THREE different cars in the opening credits of Get Smart over the life of the series.

A red Sunbeam Tiger was the first.

The blue VW Karmann Ghia was the second.

What was the third, and what colour was it? I will post the answer in a few days...

I am not exactly hiding, just extremely busy. I'm doing stupid hours at work so I can have from Friday til Jan 13 off. I worked nearly 14 hours yesterday, until tonight I had not downloaded my personal e-mail since Sunday, and I missed the Bill on Tuesday, to give you an idea of how busy I am. (I... must... get... a... life. 🙂)

Yes - absolutely - on the Albury front - where are we meeting for the drive up, or are we just going to meet there?

thanks,
Andrew

Phil I would not have a clue but when I'm over at the outlaws later today i'll ask the minister of leisure vision who can recall Maxwell Smart even from the black and white days but isn't that crach hot on vehile types so don't wait up for my answer.

Come on we need a whole new poll going. I'm not a TV expert so if I ran one it would be wrong or have six different answers.

No, the Sunbeam Tiger came before the Ghia. Get Smart debuted in 1965 - have a look at the Ghia picture, it's not that early!

The third car Max uses in the opening is a gold-coloured Opel GT coupe. Go to this page for everything Get Smart, then scroll down to the 'cars' question.

And you can see pictures of all three cars from the different openings at this page:
