Hottest Movie and TV Cars

I'm posting this for a couple reasons. 1) my favorite all time customs are the TV series Batmobile and the Munster Coach...and 2) I'd like a reminder from all you car lunatics like myself what cool cars are/were out there that I may have forgotten about. I love the Beatnik Bandit as much as the Mysterion but these gems are not even scratching the surface. Picture's welcome of course! Are ya ready Eddie? steve e

I will agree with the Batmobile and the Munster's Coach..... But you didn't mention the Dragula!!! There is what is left of a Dragula (I am sure there was more than one) hanging from the ceiling in the Planet Hollywood in Atlantic City.

The Black '68 Charger R/T from the movie Bullitt is for sale in Hemmings for $1,000,000. Not a custom but a movie car (one of my favorites) nonetheless.

Well you had the dune buggy thing the Monkee's used, the General Lee, if they could have found a way to make Speed Racer's Mach 5 into a real TV show that would have been cool maybe that was a basis for Knight Rider...who knows.

LOL, thinking of cars and movies I just thought of the Cannonball Run and all the stars, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis dressed as priests...I'm cracking myself up.

The AG 55 would be my favorite. The same car in 2 Lane Blacktop was cool too. They sure have to change the jets a lot in that movie LOL

Looks like the vehicle from "Damnation Alley" with George Peppard. I think the Falcon XBGT from "Mad Max" would prolly get my vote, with the '68 "Bullitt" Charger being very closely second. As far as Olds', clearly "Demolition Man"!

The Green Hornets car Black Beauty, 66 Imperial from the original series.
There was also a 66(?) Toronado in the series UFO. They had all these futuristic cars and in one episode the Toronado shows up, hehe. Of course it had the whirring gas turbine like sound to it.

How about the Interceptor from "The Road Warrior" & the Trans AM from "Smokey & The Bandit". The truck looked good to.

Movie Car

I've always had an affinity for the 55 Olds Holiday sedans. I think it started when I saw this one on the big screen.

I remember seeing this movie when it came out in '77 and was just enthralled. I saw the movie again recently and couldn't believe how naive and simple I was than.

I'm WITH you on this one!! ALL-TIME CLASSIC!! As well as the '68 Mustang Fastback Steve McQueen chased them in! (I FINALLY have a replica of that Mustang in my collection; it is a BLAST to drive!!) That Chase Scene has GOT to be an all-time favorite by Baby Boomers and Car Guys/Gals everywhere!

That 442 from Demolition Man changed my life! That car was the beginning of my love affair with Oldsmobile and muscle cars in general. When the time came for me to get a car, I went for a clapped out '72 442 clone, which was the closest thing to that red 442 a 17 year old could afford. I'd have a pretty damn heavy wallet if it wasn't for that movie...
