Hvilken bil kørte jim rockford i?
Pontiac Firebird
The Rockford Files
Jim Rockfords gyldne Pontiac Firebird Esprit-bil var velkendt for seerne. Et ofte tilbagevendende element i serien var den berømte "Jim Rockford-vending" (også kendt som en J-svingning eller en "moonshiner-svingning" - almindeligvis anvendt som en undvigelsesteknik, som Secret Service lærer at bruge). Garner forklarede bevægelsen i sin selvbiografi The Garner Files fra 2011: "Når du kører ligeud i bakgear med ca. 35 miles i timen, træder du af speederen, kører hårdt til venstre og trækker i nødbremsen. Det låser hjulene og kaster forenden rundt. Så slipper du alt, træder på speederen, og så kører du i den modsatte retning." James Garner udtalte i et interview på DVD med sæson 1, at han udførte dette stunt i hele serien. Bilens nummerplade var 853 OKG, selv om nummerpladen i nogle tidlige episoder viste nummeret 835 OKG. Garner skriver i sin selvbiografi, at han mener, at bogstaverne OKG stod for "Oklahoma Garner", men at han ikke kender oprindelsen af nummeret 853.

The Rockford Files
Familiar to viewers was Jim Rockford's gold Pontiac Firebird Esprit car. One oft-recurring element of the show was the famous "Jim Rockford turn-around" (also known as a J-turn or a "moonshiner's turn" - commonly employed as an evasive driving technique taught to Secret Service). Garner explained the move in his 2011 autobiography The Garner Files: "When you are going straight in reverse about 35 miles an hour, you come off the gas pedal, go hard left, and pull on the emergency brake. That locks the wheels and throws the front end around. Then you release everything, hit the gas, and off you go in the opposite direction." James Garner stated in a Season One DVD interview that he performed this stunt for the duration of the series. The car's license plate was 853 OKG, although the plate in some early episodes displayed the number 835 OKG. Garner writes in his autobiography that he believes that the letters OKG stood for "Oklahoma Garner" but that he does not know the origin of the numbers 853.
