Miami Vice Cars - Detective James "Sonny" Crockett (Don Johnson) appeared on the police drama MIAMI VICE/NBC/1984-89. Working undercover for Miami's vice-squad narcotics division, Sonny was issued a fancy black Ferrari 365/GTB/4 Daytona Spyder sports car convertible automobile (model year 1968-1974) with beige leather interior (actually a kit car with a fiberglass body and Corvette chassis). In 1986 on episode No. 45 "When Irish Eyes Are Crying" while buying illegal munitions, Sonny asked the gunrunners if the six-year-old explosives were still potent. Picking up a shoulder rocket launcher, the gunrunner aimed at Sonny's $150,000 car and blew it to pieces. Eventually his superiors reissued Sonny a $135,000 Ferrari Testarossa. Red was the standard color for that model (Testarossa is Italian for red-head) but Sonny's car was painted white. It had a top speed of 183 m.p.h. Sonny's partner, Detective Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) drove a blue-gray 1963 Fleetwood Cadillac DeVille convertible. Their fellow officers Det. Larry Zito (John Diehl) and Det. Stan Switek (Michael Talbott) drove a 1960s Ford Van surveillence vehicle called "The Bug Van" (because it had a big bug on the roof).
