My local radio station had an interesting call-in topic this morning, but I got to work before I heard the results.

What are the most iconic cars of all time from TV or movies?

My initial Top 10:
1. General Lee - Dukes of Hazard
2. Delorean Time Machine - Back to the Future
3. K.I.T.T. - Knight Rider
4. Batmoble - from original 1960's TV show
5. 77 Trans Am Bandit - Smokey and the Bandit
6. Red Ferrari 308 GTS - Magnum P.I.
7. Mach 5 - Speed Racer
8. James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 - Goldfinger
9. Mystery Machine Van - Scobby Doo
10. Herbie the Love Bug - Herbie movies

Feel free to rearrange or add to my list.

Cheers!

I would put Milner's couple or the 55 Chevy from American Graffiti both over Herbie.

 
Yes, but are any of them iconic.
Absolutely.  Milner's 32 Duece coupe was, as was Falfa (Harrison Ford's) '55 Chevy

the Monkeemobile (TV-The Monkees) belongs on that list as does the Munster Coach (TV- the Munsters)

Yes I'm an old guy on this board.  Dukes should be on there but certainly not #1.

Other icons:

Ecto 1 - Ghostbusters

Elenaor - gone in 60 seconds

(for Dex) Bumblebee - Transformers

I'd put the '55 from Two Lane Blacktop ahead of McQueen's Bullitt

Jim Rockford's 77 Pontiac Espirit

MASH, any movie with John Wayne that didn't have horses, Midway, Saving Private Ryan, Battle of the Bulge, Ms. Siagon, etc 

 
I know the Aston was already mentioned...I'm just putting this out there for the man candy.  Tom Ford knows how to make a suit.

The Bluesmobile from The Blues Brothers:

[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas[/COLOR] "
