What was the significance of the tan over brown Ford Mustang that appears in almost every episode? I as a cop for 30 years and believe it or not some of the little things I heard on the show helped me when I was a patrolman in the 70's and a training officer in the 80's and a detective in the 90's. Jack had some great goals for cops to strive for. It wouldn't hurt to have Mr. Webb around today to help with some of the problems in policing.
