Yeah, don’t remember the car or the live-action opening credits either, just the animated ones.
In the mid-80s, my wife and I visited friends in Casablanca and then took the train down to Marrakesh for a few days. My wife was still a bit jetlagged and disoriented. We got on the train and about when it started moving they started playing the Pink Panther music, which was pretty surreal.
And then of course some decades later, Pink sold out and started doing commercials for fiberglass insulation.
