I just acquired the 1981 Sparks Roadster driven by Sam ( john beck ) in the season one episodes.if you know of any other episodes the white rumble seat roadster was in let me know, the car was hand built by Mr. Sparks, only 25 were built, only five known to exist today.
The car is in need of a total restoration and I will be raising funds on Kickstarter.com soon to restore this rare car to its former beauty.

Great show. In my opinion, much more entertaining than any of the other nighttime soaps (Dallas, Dynasty, etc.), none of which I could ever make it through more than one episode. Great cast: Morgan Fairchild, Cristina Raines (whatever happened to her?), Mark Harmon, John Beck, Stella Stevens, David Selby, Peter Donat, Kevin McCarthy, Howard Duff. Duff's portrayal of the evil Titus Semple was nothing short of brilliant.
Would love to see it again somehow. -

I thought I was alone on this but I like this show a bit better then "Dallas" and I like "Dallas". I found it much better then "Knots Landing". Actually this show is much better then any wannabe nighttime soap on TV today.

The first series of Flamingo Road was actually shown in a prime time Saturday night slot in the summer of 1981 (after that years season of Dallas ended). Ratings were not good and the BBC were already committed to the second season, so they delayed showing it until 1984 when it was relegated to 11.10pm on Tuesday nights, that slot was also reserved for other US imported ratings failures such as Remmington Steele and Glitter (soap set in a glossy mag).
