The Coolest Car in the Movies

-Chris- · 23-10-2009 11:43am #1

Inspired by a post another thread, here's a photo thread challenge for you...

What was the coolest movie/TV car ever - was it Bond's Aston? Ronin's S8? Knight Rider's KITT? Herbie the Beetle?
Post a picture of what you think is the coolest movie/TV car ever.

The rules:

1) Don't make the photos huge, it's a pain for people with smaller screens.

2) You're only allowed to suggest one car per post.

3) You're not allowed to suggest a car that's already been suggested.

4) If you see a choice you agree with, "thank" the post.

5) The person/post with the most thanks wins*

*prize yet to be decided, may or may not exist

Go!

I know they're American cheese of the highest order, but both of these got me a little hard.

May be a little naff but Magnum's 308 GTS - the first car i lusted after. Astonishingly beautiful design, reached it's ultimate expression in the mid '80s 288GTO.

Overall though this (back from the days when Astons were REAL cars not some pop-culture marketing wheeze):

http://blog.thecar.com.my/upload/images/AstonMartinV8.jpg
My favorite Bond car because it's slightly obscure.

As a kid i loved the Bandit's Trans-Am and Knight Riders later version. Those cars appeared in so may cop shows - Jim Rockford had a Camero (same car), Ponch from CHiPs had a trans-Am that he bought off an owner who was selling it for a couple of dollars, Simon & Simon had a Camero... My car-related knowledge of '80s TV shows scares me:o!
