I guess it would have to be the 1967 Chevy Impala, black 4-door from the Supernatural series. Now that car is just plain slick, plus it has a menacing overall look to it. (If I had the money I'd buy one today.)

Would have to agree with the original Batmobile

Pretty much any of the custom cars for the TV series from the Sixties:

The Batmobile

The Munster's Munster Koach, and Grandpa's Drag-u-la

The Clampett's 1921 Oldsmobile stake-panel flatbed truck

The Monkee-moblie (modified '67 Pontiac GTO, if I am not mistaken)

The Green Hornet's Black Beauty

Are we counting cartoons, too? Gotta love the Mystery Machine, and also Brock Sampson's '69 Dodge Charger, Adrienne!

I don't know the name of the series. It debuted recently and ended quite quickly. It was about people who were picked to participate in a sinister cross country race.
Anyhow, my pick is the Black Hemi Challenger driven by the bank robber character.
And since some Movie cars are on the list, I'll pick Gator McClusky's Ford Galaxy moonshine runner.

I would pick this car....that is of course if I can harness the 1.21 gigiwatts of electricity to power the Flux Capacitor, which upon my reaching 88 mph, will propel me back to the future!.....or I could just model it....

'66 Batmobile, hands down, all time favorite... Watching the original Batman series in the 60s was the high point of my week from 66-68, lol..

The rest, in no particular order:

The Rat Patrol jeeps

Munstermobile

Grandpa's Dragster

Monkeemobile

Black Beauty

Snowman's Kenworth from Smokey & the Bandit.

Mad Max's Inteceptor

The General Lee

Starsky's Gran Torino (I actually bought a '74 Gran Torino because of that show, although it was blue.. Never got around to painting it..)

Last but not least, Eleanor, from Gone in 60 Seconds...

You don't need to worry about the power oldman, you've got the Mr. Fusion already installed!

I, myself, wouldn't mind having the Coyote from Hardcastle and McCormick.
