I'm watching the "Rides" episodse where they do Jay's Toronado. They introduce it as a 66 and when I google it it comes up as a 66 but to me it looks like a 67... No eyebrows over the headlights and the taillights have the cross-hatch pattern on them.. whats up with that?

Yeah, this is something discussed awhile ago on the T-list (RIP). They apparently did the filming after the fact and "staged" certain scenes with a donor car, which was a 67. Gotta love the magic of TV

Now this is rich. I just watched the show for a second time the other day with my Father in law and noticed exactly the same thing and wondered what was going on. Thanks for the answer to this little mystery! : 8-)

I think Leno had the 66 lamps installed on a 67 toronado.

I've had some people tell me "Oh your car is just like Jay Lenos except it's Turquoise" I correct them and say "Jays Toronado is like MINE, I've had mine since 1984" LOL I've had mine first!!!
