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. |

Any old MB's in James Bond.
![]() The Transporter was awsome, such a nice 735IL, and lots of cool S500's. ![]() 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 ![]() 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?
