That is a  '65 Skylark, non-GS (SS mouldings down the side), and is also a convertible (skylark emblem at the end of the rear quarter).

I always look for 65's when i am watching an older show or a show that is suppose to take place back then.  This is the first one I have seen.  I am impressed with Brian's eyes.  I couldn't make that out even with the screen in front of me.   Now I have to look for 'Hollywood Knights".

I have watched Hollywood Knights more times than I care to remember, however, I do not remember seeing a Red 65.  Anyone else???????????
