As Crockett was a vice cop and dealt frequently with wealthy criminals, all facets of his life were glamorized, from clothes and lifestyle to his car. His Daytona was even fitted with an in-car telephone, a relatively new invention in 1983 and correspondingly no doubt reserved for the wealthy elite. Crockett was issued the car sometime after 1980, as in the flashback to that time period in the episode "Forgive Us Our Debts" he is driving a black Porsche 911.
