What key fob was on Magnum Pi show?

They had two different ones at the very least. In the beginning it was one of those leather key wallets that would hold several keys. Nothing "Ferrari" about it.

Later it was a badge but, funny, I can't recall if it was a shield or the rectangle one. Someone will come along shortly with a picture, I'm sure.

 

Pop in the "Mixed Doubles" DVD. I bet that episode would show something helpful.

 

Looks like a shield by season 3

I remember a shield, metal like with black background. I have never seen that one before. it was in one of the earlier seasons of Magnum PI, they show the Ferrari shield fob while Selleck is changing gears.

 

I remember it being colored. Obviously the one in the pic just happens to be facing the wrong way. I know it is seen several other times but I would have to think about it a while. If you are going to fast forward through a bunch of DVD's I would start at season 3 when they began using the injected 2V car.

 

Could it be one of these or a similar version from the 80's?

I could be wrong but I'm almost sure grey / silver scuderia shield but no yellow background, more darkish, maby black with the outer lines and horse in silver grey, could have been brass/copper.

Ill take a look and capture a frame.

 

You may be right. In my mind I am seeing a color one but it's been a while. I used to be really good at knowing what show and what part these little things could be seen it. Not as much anymore but I did know to go to the Mixed Doubles right away.

I'm getting old...

 

darn, I can't remember, mabe around season 5, I watched a few episodes a while back, I remember asking Albert-LP about a silver like scuderia shield key fob, I can clearly remember seeing the front part of the fob, very similar scene like in Mixed Doubles.

 

If these guys don't have it Magnum Mania! - Magnum Gear shoot them an email and they'll tell you how to get it.

 

That must be a double, at six feet four there isn't that much leg room in a 308.

 

They removed the seat bottom and padded the floorboard for filming so he could fit.

 

This portion of that website is pretty funny!

Magnum Mania! - Car Damage

 

LOL!!!!

Oh some of the people involved with that site worked on the show.

 

That site is amazing. He invites input and I joined in so I could communicate with him. Problem is I emailed him about two mistakes and never heard back. The mistakes are still there. No big deal but I guessed it rubbed him wrong or something. I was nice about it all. Oh well..

 

Since we're talking keys, what is this one, and where can I get one?

And the site is fantastic, I'm already looking for a pair of white pants, and tiger hat for Halloween next year

 

I bought a couple of those on ebat many years ago. Are they hard to find now?

 

This is the replacement key that Ferrari has supplied for the past 15 (or so) years. Initially loose blanks could be had for >$20. Now the guy at the parts counter of your authorized Ferrari dealer needs to provide proof of ownership to the factory to order them for you. Price nowadays? I don't recall exactly, but it's at least 10X what it used to be.
