What was the nickname of Starsky's '76 Gran Torino on the 1970s TV show Starsky & Hutch?
Answer The Striped Tomato
Starsky first uses the nickname in the "Snowstorm" episode, but it was actually the actor himself who came up with the sarcastic name when first presented with the car by producer Aaron Spelling. Glaser made no bones about his dislike of the vehicle, once noting that "it was huge, it had no pickup, it couldn't handle. . ."
