Several years ago, there was a TV series about a detective in Las Vegas who's car (older T-Bird, I think) lived in his living room...or he lived in his garage....whichever, he always just drove in, got out of the car & was in his house - no walls separating either.

What was the name of that show?

The show was called Vegas, starring Robert Urich as detective Dan Tanna.

He drove a '55 T-Bird and lived in a warehouse near the Las Vegas airport. I remember he would hit the garage door opener and drive right into his living room.

I've always thought that was the best house/garage combination idea ever.

That's It! VEGA$

This show is also notable for perhaps the only known portrayal of a house with a "drive-in" living room.

Here is a link to more information.

There are some photos of the warehouse from the exterior, but no interior shots.

Yep, like you I can't find any interior shots..guess the only way to do that is to drag up some old copies of the series - if they exist. I'm really interested in how they made the transition from the TBird's garage to his living space & floor treatments.
