I came across someone's list of the top 10 TV cars. It goes like this:
1. General Lee (Dukes of Hazzard) - 1969 Dodge Charger
2. Zebra 3 (Starsky & Hutch) - 1974 Ford Gran Torino
3. K.I.T.T. (Knight Rider) - 1982 Pontiac TransAm
4. The Batmobile (Batman) - 1955 Lincoln Futura concept
5. Ferrari 308 GTS (Magnum P.I.) - 1980 Ferrari 308 GTS
6. Volvo P1800 (The Saint) - 1963 Volvo P1800
7. The A-Team Van (The A-Team) - 1983 GMC G-series
8. Black Beauty (The Green Hornet) - 1966 Chrysler Imperial
9. Flintmobile (The Flintstones) - The Stone Age
10. Herbie (The Love Bug) - 1969 VW Beetle
Now what the heck is a cartoon one doing on there? Oh well.
Personally I really dug the black 1964 Ford Thunderbird on the Highlander TV series. I'm not sure how the Ferrari Testarossa from Miami Vice didn't make the list. The red "Coyote" from the series Hardcastle & McCormick sticks out in my mind too.
I was just wondering what people's thoughts were on all of this, and what would you say are the top 10 cars in movies?
Off the top of my head, I think you'd have to consider these...
Bullitt 1968 Ford Mustang
Ford Falcon from Mad Max
1983 DeLorean DTS from Back to the Future
The Batmobile from the original 1989 Batman movie
1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from Smokey & The Bandit
Would anyone include the Shelby GT500 from the recent Gone In 60 Seconds remake? Or perhaps the original Eleanor - the 1973 Mustang Mach 1 from the original film?
