In a segment titled Starsky & Hutch: Behind the Badge that was featured on the first season DVD collection, Glaser stated that when he was first shown the Torino by series producer Aaron Spelling, he sarcastically said to Soul, "That thing looks like a striped tomato!" In characteristic contrast, Hutch's vehicle was a battered tan 1973 Ford Galaxie 500. However, this moniker didn't come from the writers, but it came from a real-life comment that Glaser made. The Torino was nicknamed the "Striped Tomato" by Hutch in the episode "Snowstorm", and fans subsequently referred to the car by that nickname, too.
