Favorite Car in a Movie
 
I've been lurking for a while, and finally decided to join this group.

I am shopping for a new car, so I've really been noticing vehicles that are featured in movies and on tv. I have two teenage boys who are excited about X3, the new X-Men movie. I know the new Mercedes GL is going to be in the movie. One of my son's is a big Mercedes fan and is really excited about the GL being in the movie. So, what's your favorite car featured in a movie? And why?

I like the DeLorean in the Back to the Future series myself.

Jim Careys' SL in Liar, Liar. Liked it so much I went and bought one.:D

Any old MB's in James Bond.:cool: Especialy in the car chase scene in the under ground garage, Bond in a sweet 740IL and the bad guys in a couple of W126's.

The Transporter was awsome, such a nice 735IL, and lots of cool S500's.:cool:

Those old BMW's in black are one of the best looking cars ever made.

The Dodge bluesmobile in the Blues Brothers was more than just a car.

Not in any particular order:

-Steed's Bentley in The Avengers. Real character and class, even well-worn.
-Emma Peel's mid-1960's Lotus Europa(?) in The Avengers. Especially with the mid-1960's Diana Rigg in it.
-The 450sl in Americal Gigolo (not too surprising there). Where were the headrests? Must have interfered with the camera work. The car actually looked good with (thin) whitewalls.
-The XK150 (?) in Payton Place
-The Bluesmobile - also, real character.

I'm embarassed about this one:

-The XK120 in Porky's: I'm sure that this was an early-mid 80's reproduction built on a Mustang II chassis, which I had considered building.

The Bluesmobile

The Charger in Fast and the Furious, bummer that the only cool car in the whole movie got wrecked:mad:

The Mad Max car. I'm not even sure what it was, some say Aussie Ford Falcon, others say it was a Holden. I don't care, I still liked it.

Souped up Challenger in Vanishing Point. Again, why is it that every movie director who puts a cool car in their movie wants it wrecked?

Hijack Alert:
How about great car chase on the big screen?

Steve McQueen in Bullet.
