Magnum P.I. GMC Jimmy
3 Attachment(s)
Flipping around the TV today, it caught a couple minutes of a Magnum P.I. rerun that prominently showed a very cool 1980 GMC Jimmy. A little bit of googling, and it turns out it was featured in a couple of episodes that can be watched on Netflix.
Season 1 Episode 8 has the most Jimmy airtime, but Season 3 Episode 16 has some cool driving scenes. The Jimmy is clearly fully loaded. Some brief interior shots show it was an PW/PL rig with the speakers on the door panel. At first I thought it may have some Hickey accessories, but after some closer looks I think the push-bar and rear tire carrier were from other vendors. It did have a hidden winch, but more of the Ramsey style rather than Hickey. The most interesting thing to me was the graphics package. I have never seen anything like it before, so I don't think it was factory. But very nice nonetheless, and would look good today without being over-the-top 70's like the Desert Fox package. It would even be fairly easy to replicate with today's vinyl tech - it seems to be simply overlaid on the factory brown/cream two-tone. I'd like to try something like this but with a mid-70's woodgrain. |

Two separate sunroof panels? Don't remember seeing that before.

I remember those sunroofs. They had a light in the middle.
