And this car may look familiar to those who have seen Bender turn into a werecar on Futurama. George Barris customized this Lincoln for a film about an evil car that’s terrorizing a Southwestern town. Special features: Demonic possession, George Barris design Type of car: Customized 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III Who do you get to drive it? If it’s 1978, then the answer is Cheech & Chong. Imagine it’s made out of marijiuana (just go with us on this one). Special features: Tail fins, custom “organic” paint Type of car: Customized Chevrolet Step Van What better car for a cross-country trip than an old Studebaker? Okay, so there are a lot of better cars, but considering that it’s Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear taking the trip, this car fits them pretty well. But his hot new friend Monique helps him get it running again so he can get a taste of winning. Lane Meyer (John Cusack) has hidden this gem under a cover in the driveway for far too long. Special features: Muddy Waters theme song, attracts French exchange students Type of car: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 350 What’s really sad is that even with access to Reggie’s stolen drug money, Jack spends 25 grand to get another beat-up old Caddy in the sequel. This beat-up Cadillac has definitely seen better days, just like its owner. Special features: Doesn’t look like a cop car at all. Type of car: 1964 Cadillac DeVille Convertible

By the time the movie is over, it’s been stolen, vandalized, crashed into a dumpster, and set on fire, but nonetheless, the Dude abides. It’s rare that a car fits its owner so perfectly, but the Dude and this car are a perfect match. And Chili is so cool that by the end of the film, the Oldsmobile Silhouette becomes the “must have” car for the discerning filmmaker. On his trip out to Los Angeles, shylock Chili Palmer (John Travolta) orders a Cadillac from the car rental service, but gets this minivan instead. Special features: It’s the Cadillac of minivans. Lastly, a special thanks to our friends at The Internet Movie Car Database for use of their screenshots and car data.Įditor’s Note: In light of an overwhelming audience response, we’ve moved the Mustang from Bullitt into the top 5. And the rankings refer to how memorable a car is, not how cool it is (that would be a much different list). Also, a car has to show up in a movie to make it on the list, so KITT and the A-Team van don’t make it. For the most part, we’re only picking one car per film. After 40 years, the Mach 5 makes the jump from animation to the big screen, and to celebrate, we’re counting down the most memorable cars of all time.Ī couple of quick notes before we get started.
But we all know the real star of the movie is the legendary Mach 5. This week sees the long-awaited release of the live action Speed Racer, starring Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, and Susan Sarandon. The Suburban was introduced in mid-1947, but the color scheme of this one, regal blue with arctic silver roof was only introduced in late 1948.Most of these cars used the Fluid Drive transmission.I think that the Suburban deserves its own filing.50 – 46 | 45 – 41 | 40 – 36 | 35 – 31 | 30 – 26 | 25 – 21 | 20 – 16 | 15 – 11 | 10 – 6 | 5 – 1 On the thumbnails an interesting late 1948 DeSoto 9 passenger Suburban on the 139.5 inches chassis ( S-11-C) featuring the two-tone paint and the standard roof luggage rack with wooden slats and metal rails. Large picture is a 1946-48 DeSoto DeLuxe ( S-11-S). The badge below the DeSoto emblem above the left side of the grille may say Simplimatic, a kind of auto transmission, I believe. The three images from francisharley belong to a Suburban. Not having a Custom badge, I assume this is a DeLuxe, though it has suicide rear doors. These kinds of cars are covered in a recent classic auto magazine I bought, so I can check it out.
The two-tone De Soto is a long wheelbase, possibly 7 passenger car. The solid color De Soto is a standard wheelbase car. Looks like two different cars: main pic is a one colour version thumbnails show a two-tone version?
