A 1967 Mercury Marquis 2dr. Hardtop with red interior was used in the "Pilot" movie "Cocoon," as well as for "stock" footage--aka scenes of McGarrett driving to a crime scene. Once the actual series started, a brand new 1968 Mercury Parklane 4dr. Hardtop was McGarrett's car--even though many times with the "driving scenes" the old '67 is still shown. The last car, a 1974 Mercury Marquis Brougham was then instituted for seasons 7-12. McGarrett's old '68, or should I say the remains of it, were purchased by a man named Michael Timothy in 1986, and was completely restored. The '74 Marquis was given personally by Jack Lord to his stunt man at the end of the show's run. He drove it until the late 90's when I belive he auctioned it off. |

In Episode 7.16, there's a scene were three women hijack a Ford Econoline that had the read end cut off and the side door taken out for tourists. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0598000/ Remember that Volkswagen Bus from "Hot Pursuit?" /vehicle_29036-Volkswagen-Transporter-Typ-2-T2-1973.html The Ford Econoline was built more or less the same way. |

By the way, for whoever created this part of the site for the show, the "O" in the title of the series should be a "0" (zero) and not an actual letter O (even though we pronounce it as the letter O). When trying to find this show here at first for the life of me I couldn't find anything...and I kept thinking surely this show would have something. Then I wondered if the letter O was used instead of a zero and sure enough I found the show! For most fans of the show they're going to be typing in a zero and coming up with nothing. If it's possible changing it to a "0" (zero) might be wise. -- Last edit: 2009-10-23 05:20:31 |

The reason it is an O is probably because that is what IMDB has it as. |

This is true, I just looked and IMDB (and also a fan site by a guy named Mike Quigley) has it listed with the letter "O." I never realized that before. That's pretty sad since it is a zero (0) and not an o in the title! The "Five-0" stems from the fact that Hawaii was the 50th state brought into the union. So, they're even talking/referring to or about numbers...not letters. Oh well. Hawaii is the only state that has actually never had a state police force. So, they took the "5-0" idea and created a fictional one for the show. |

"Five" is not a number, it is how the number 5 is said. "O" is not a number, it is how the number 0 is said (also "Zero"). Sounds more logical to me than "Five-0" actually ![]() I added an alternative title in case people do a search with 0 instead of O. -- Last edit: 2009-10-24 17:26:44 |

This is true, the number zero ("0") is referred to and/or called the letter "O" a lot of the time. But, in the title of the show, and in actuality with what they meant for the title, it is a zero and not an O. But, I understand that some would think it would actually be the letter O since the title is prounounced "O". I'm not sure why they spelled out the number "5" instead of just putting the number itself along with the number zero?? To me, "Hawaii 5-0" would actually be a "cooler" looking title anyway! But, the "Five-0" does stem from Hawaii being the 50th state. -- Last edit: 2009-10-25 08:39:55 |

If it was done as 5-0, people might have started saying "Hawaii Fifty" which might have sounded a bit silly. |

Maybe. But I think the dash between the 5 and the 0 would have helped seperate that out. When saying phone numbers or numbers of addresses people usually will say the number zero as "O". But I suppose to clarify things that's why Leonard Freeman spelled out the number 5 (Five) and then added the zero (0). |

I believe the Complete Eighth Season of "Five-0" is due out on DVD in March!! That leaves only 4 more seasons to go, as there were 12 in all. Until 2003 "Five-0" was the longest lasting crime show in TV history! In 2003 NBC's "Law and Order" finally passed it up. -- Last edit: 2009-11-30 07:56:03 |

In the "extra's"-section on one of the DVDs there's an interview with this stuntman telling how he got the car. And a shot of this Mercury ![]() |
