Hollywood's best and worst movie cars... take one!

-AutoBlog


On the heels of yet another movie promotion for Pixar's Cars, Cars.com (natch) has gone and selected what it considered the ten best movie cars of all time, along with five it figures should've been earmarked for the compactor.
The envelope, please...

Best:

1. 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, "Back to the Future"
2. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (for completists, that's a 250 GT California Spyder SWB, guys)
3. 1974 Dodge Monaco, "The Blues Brothers"
4. 1964 Aston Martin DB5, "Goldfinger"
5. Batmobile Tumbler, "Batman Begins"
6. 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390, "Bullitt"
7. 1959 Cadillac Ambulance, "Ghostbusters"
8. 1958 Plymouth Fury, "Christine"
9. 1973 Ford Falcon, "The Road Warrior" (pictured)
10. 2003 Mini Cooper S, "The Italian Job"

Worst:

1. 1983 Ford LTD Country Squire, "National Lampoon's Vacation"
2. 1974 Dodge Tradesman, "Napoleon Dynamite"
3. Winnebago Chieftain, "Spaceballs"
4. 1984 Ford Econoline, "Dumb and Dumber"
5. 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, "Herbie: Fully Loaded"

Technical details, unique features and an explanation as to how they ranked the vehicles at the link. Apparently, we've got more love for the Griswold's metallic pea-soup Wagonqueen Family Truckster than the folks at Cars.com. C'mon... where's your sense of humor, guys?

dude, the family truckster should be one of the best. "if you think you hate it now, wait until you drive it" classic.

 

[Mike R]

X2 Truckster rocks....

 

[SilverBulletES]

Yeah, I like 5 of the worst better than at least 5 of the best.

It is interesting to note only one of the best is from the modern era. Does that say anything about how interesting or provocative today's cars are?

 

[TheMAN]

WTF? **** the mini... where's the 2000GT from that old bond movie?

I've seen it in person at local car shows as well - complete with Dinty Moore cans for props. That car cemented my future as a gearhead when I saw that movie as a kid.

Have any of you guys seen this old horror flick "The Car". Watched it after going out and getting wasted about 10 years ago....kinda like Herbie's satanic brother...freaked me out but I laughed all the same....

 

[D-rock240]

I would have added the Porsche from Bad Boys instead of the Mini.

Amen! And the big side exhaust pipes?!

Here's the real thing as I remember it:

What was funny is that the blower was on a switch. He used it like it was nitrous.

Cannonball Run!

J.J. McClure's Ambulance

Lamborghini Countach

"James Bond's" Aston Martin
