As the stars of Starsky and Hutch, Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul became international icons, their characters a byword for cool.
And the veteran actors showed that they are still as suave today as in their 1970s heyday when they appeared at a special fan event in Venice Beach.
Detective Dave Starsky's iconic 1976 Ford Gran Torino - who some might say was the real star of the show - still managed to turn plenty of heads.
Dream sequence: Paul Michael Glaser returned to his famous role of Detective Dave Starsky at the weekend
But
while the famous red and white car was there, some fans might have been
disappointed that David, 69 and Paul, 70, left the chunky knitwear at
home for the special event. David, whose Kenneth 'Hutch' Hutchinson used to wear a brown leather coat, opted for a tropical print shirt and a pair of aviators.
Meanwhile, Paul left the chunky cardigan his character, Detective Dave Starsky became associated with, in the archives, choosing a pair of beige slacks and a blue jumper.

Starsky And Hutch enjoyed success on ABC where it ran for four seasons from 1975 until 1979.
Fans tuned in to see them catch criminals, solve murders and pick up the pieces from when drug busts went awry.
The car chases involving the Gran Torino - known to fans as Zebra Three after their radio call, or the Striped Tomato, became iconic and fans bought imitation ones for thousands of dollars.

Last September Paul pleaded not guilty to drug charges following an arrest in May. He was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after guests staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Bowling Green, Kentucky, complained about the smell of marijuana on his floor.
The arrest came just hours after the 69-year-old actor read an extract from his young adult novel, Chrystallia and the Source of Light, to pupils at a local middle school.
David also found himself dealing with the police last year - but as a murder victim when he guest-starred in an episode of Inspector Morse spin-off, Lewis.
