 Nash
Bridges' Car - On the first episode of the
police drama NASH BRIDGES/CBS/1996-2001, the audience was
introduced to a 1970 426 Hemi Plymouth 'Cuda convertible.
Painted in High Impact yellow, this sleek muscle car belonged
to San Francisco detective Nash Bridges (Don Johnson).
Supposedly, the car is "one of 14 ever made." Nash's 426 Drag
Hemi engine with twin Carter AFB four-barrels is capable of
425 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, with 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. Episode
No. 4 "High Impact" revealed that Nash treasures his car
because it carries sentimental memories of his brother Bobby
who disappeared over Cambodia during the Vietnam War (later
revealed to be a drug smuggler). Reportedly, there were four
different Cuda's specifically built for the show. One is a
genuine 440 big-block strip-burner that was converted to a
single 4-barrel. The 440 car and the 318 car are actually '71
'Cudas, while the 340 car and the 360 car are '70 'Cudas with
cosmetic changes to make them look like '71s.
