Okay, some choices here I'm expecting to run away in a landslide one way or another. The contestants are - Ben Matlock: 1985/86 Ford LTD, Lieutenant Columbo: '59 Peugeot 403, and Simon & Simon: double bill of Dodge pickup and Z28.

This last deserves note because there's *briefly* a '57 Belair - so you might have that instead of the Z28, but only for a short while.

Sir Not Appearing in this List, Despite Time Period On Air:

Magnum, P.I. - because Ferraris are frankly cheating, and whether it's Magnum's car or not depends on a running identity gag.

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes - cars lol

Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher - Never learned to drive, a plot point

Inspector Alleyn - wrong time period makes access to Wolseley cop cars and early Jag possible, which is frankly cheating

Agatha Christie's Poirot - more time period shenanigans, this time with Bugatti.

Columbo's Peugeot *is* awesome. The question arises, however, whether it's practical to DD or track weighted against the other two. It may win by sure weight of awesome, but it *does* have drawbacks.

I'd DD the 403. It's mechanically simple and has an odd French charm.

Both entirely correct - though anything actually broken would be a mess. DD is probably still a more sane choice than "track" for it, of course.
