The Top Ten Hollywood Cars

May 1st, 2005

"A recent survey, led by a firm that specializes in collectible and classic car insurance, has picked the top ten cars to have literally starred in movies and television series."

That was the sentence that caught my attention. It was the first sentence in the story. It is a rare thing to get my attention from the first line. I must have a soft spot for cars from Hollywood.

I was horrified that KITT wasn't in there!

The top ten TV and movie cars

1. General Lee, 1969 Dodge Charger—from the 1970's TV show The Dukes of Hazzard
2. 1968 Ford Mustang—Driven by Steve McQueen in the movie Bullitt
3. Eleanor, 1967 Shelby GT500—from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds
4. 1983 DeLorean Time Machine—from the movie Back to the Future
5. Batmobile—from the TV series and movie Batman starring Adam West
6. James Bond's Aston Martin DB5—from the movie Goldfinger
7. 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am—driven by Burt Reynolds in the movie Smokey and the Bandit
8. Herbie, 1963 Volkswagen Beetle—from the movie The Love Bug
9. 1974 Ford Torino—from the TV show and now movie Starsky & Hutch
10. Black Beauty—from the 1966 TV show The Green Hornet

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
