Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this or not. In season 4 Malloy and Reed are assigned a brand new 71 Plymouth Sattelite. In The Search episode Malloy is in an accident wrecking the car. When the car is going down off the road you see an older Plymouth Belvidere. When you see the wrecked car at the bottom it appears to be a Sattelite again. My question is, did they actually wreck a brand new car for this episode or somehow build a replica of a wrecked car?
shareI know the "magic changing car" has been noticed and discussed, but honestly I'm not a car-guy (or car-girl) so I never paid attention to details. But this page might give you some info.

There's a brief explanation of that crash scene. The 1adam12 page below does discuss The Search and more about the various cars in the show.
Here's another site that talks about the cars of the show (including in that episode).
