Coolest TV/Movie Car?

[HEFFA]

I'm new and not a donor, so I can't set up a poll. Then again, I don't want to limit choices or submissions with a poll anyway, so :P


I heard this on a local radio station yesterday morning. I tried and tried to call in, but I couldn't get through. I guess there was a top ten list published somewhere that listed the best/coolest ever. I personally disagreed with several of the ones listed. Then again, I guess that my personal favorites are unconventional anyway.

To start us off, I will offer up two nominees:

The Dodge cop car from the movie "The Blues Brothers" and Mel Gibson's Boss Mustang in "The Road Warrior"

Neither one was pretty, but they both kicked ass!

1. That big ugly Ford LTD in "Men in Black"

It was chunky and ugly, but it could fly!

Welcome to DU!!!

2. "Bullitt" -- 1968 Mustang Fastback GT...

With Steve McQueen at the wheel. Greatest Mustang "commercial" ever!

7. This was on the top 10.

6. How About...

James Bond's car in "Goldfinger"? Just a plug for us old fuds. I think it was an Astin-Martin.

11. This was on the top 10.

16. I liked James Bond's Lotus in "The Spy Who Loved Me".

The one that was able to turn into a submarine.

17. I Liked His AMC-Something In "Man With The Golden Gun"

It wasn't a Pacer... a bit larger than a Gremlin.

And then there was the flying car that Miss Goodnight was in. Remember her popping open the trunk to discover that the car was flying?

23. An AMC Hornet

Was the car James Bond (Roger Moore) stole from the AMC dealership.

And it was an AMC Matador that Christopher Lee and Herve Villachaize(sp) had that could fly.

12. The original Batmobile (from TV) was on the top 10.

Thanks for the welcome. The nick evolved from Jefe (Spanish for boss).

13. Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang

Dude! That car could fly and every damn other thing you wanted.

21. My error....thanks for the correction. Either way, that car was soooooooo

cool.

15. Were you listening to Charlie?

Heard about the same list yesterday morning, some insurance company did the survey. KITT didn't make the list, but neither did Mr. Beans Mini.

Mad Max's interceptor wasn't a Mustang, but a Ford Falcon XB, a car exclusive to Australia. But since they were built on the same platform, I guess the claim can be made that they are the same thing as mechanical differences would be very slight.

My favorite movie/tv car was Magnum's Ferrari 308 GTS.

[HEFFA]

22. Not familiar with Charlie. It was The Morning Buzz.

[Whitacre D_WI]

18. "You built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?"

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads."

19. Gone In 60 Seconds (2000)

Shelby Mustang GT 500

[baldguy]

20. Mach V

Jet propulsion and car elevation
Special tires for rough terrain
Sawblades at the front of the car for cutting through anything in his way
Bullet proof windshield
Super bright headlights
Can drive underwater, equipped with an oxygen supply and periscope
Has a robot bird that can be released as a messenger pigeon

25. "Christine" 57 Plymouth

'the foward look" also Sly Stallone had a beautiful '49 Merc in some old movie Cobra? I think ; or was it a Hudson Hornet?- I confuse those two cars
