From Season 1 through halfway through Season 7, McGarrett drove a 1968 Mercury Park Lane similar to this one. Why use this picture? Take a look at the Ford Tri-motor that sits behind it. It led aviation out of the canvas and wood-frame era and into the honeycomb, monocoque era that is still used today. (Used with the permission of the Ford Motor Company)
