Yea, I finally get to jump in!

What kind of car did Magnum drive while at the Naval Academy?

I can't recall the episode where TM mentions it, and I think he said what year it was, although I can't remember that either. Wasn't it a DeSoto?

It was a '54 DeSoto and was mentioned in "Mixed Doubles."
The answer is obvious, old man. Logic is irrelevant. It's simply Tropical Madness. (J.Q. Higgins)

Name Higgins' predecessor and in what episode did we get to "meet" him?

Extra credit: How many years has he been gone (i.e., Higgins has been there)?

The original majordomo of Robin's Nest was Lowell Xavier Jameson (aka Archer Hayes) whom we met in "The Case of the Red Faced Thespian". Higgins replaced him in 1972 when he was fired by Robin Masters.

Which character designed the Island Hoppers logo and Chopper paint scheme?

Hint: Unfortunately, he was only seen once in the show.
