What about the 1928 Porter touring car, from "My Mother the Car"?  And with figures of Jerry Van D*y*k*e and Avery Schreiber.

(asterisks necessary to appease the nannybot.  I wonder what it does with Jerry's more famous brother's name?)

TV:  too many to pick from. Coolness factor- Patrick McGoohan's Lotus 7 in "Secret Agent".

Patrick McGoohan drove the Lotus Series Seven in "The Prisoner", not "Secret Agent".

My favorites are the '65 Ford Mustang from TVs Spenser for Hire.  From the movies, it would be the Aston Martin DB5 and DBS from the James Bond movies.

V8 Interceptor from Mad Max.

The Sunbeam Tiger from Get Smart, since my dad owned one.  Toward the end of the series when he switched to a VW Karman Ghia my dad used to snort dersively.  "1/2 the number of cylinders and a quarter of the horsepower!"

The Corvette Mark Hamil drove in Corvette Summer.

Hemi Cuda from Phantasm.

A Team van (actually built that when I was a kid).

General Lee.

Daisy Duke's Jeep Golden Eagle (actually met Catherine Bach when I was a kid.  She was appearing at Carl Casper's Custom Auto Show with the General Lee.  Asked my dad if we could go and he finally gave in.  I thought he'd enjoy it since he was in to cars.  Nothing he was interested in, all hot rods and, according to him "nose pickers".  We stood in line to meet her- $5, then it was $10 for an autograph and $20 for a picture.  Dad wasn't going to pay that much.  She was wearing her trademark shorts, panty hose, heels and a tied at the midrif shirt).

Smokey's Bandit TA.

Rockford Files brown Firebird- Pontiac actually sold that model.  305 V8, automatic, tan vinyl interior, brown carpet and paint, with sport hubcaps.

There was also a movie with a Plymouth where the guy's wanted and driving around the desert SW US.  Ends up coming up on a police road block, slams on his brakes.  Stares down the cops then stomps on the gas and runs right into the cruisers.  Being a movie, the car instantly bursts into flame.

American Grafitti yellow T bucket.

Christine.  '57 Plymouth Fury.

The fastback purple late 60's Impala from The Principal.

A hatchback red Nova with flames and chrome Cragar SS wheels in a movie I don't remember.

Magnum PI's Ferarri 308.

Even though its a really awful movie, the Plymouth concept car from The Wraith.

Forrest Whitaker's Camaro Z28 that Spicoli wrecks in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Stefani Zimbalist's white VW convertible in Remington Steele.  Both the Beetle and then the Rabbit.

Speaking of VW's Herbie.

Adam West's Batmobile, George Barris customized Lincoln.

Kelly Mcgillis' Porche 356 in Top Gun.

Columbo's Puegot.

Elanor.

3: The Hearse from Phantasim.

4:  The Lincoln Mark III from The Car.

6:The car they used in the TV series  The Nanny And The Proffessor, but I don't recall what it was. I just remember it was cool.

Favorite TV car was the Barris Batmobile. Favorite movie car was Keaton's Batmobile. I did like Bale's Tumbler Batmobile.

As for an animated TV show, Hotwheels did a cartoon and the hero drove a car called the "Jack Rabbit Special". I loved the TV show.

I'd have to go with the 'darker' side of model kits. AMT's Munster Koach, Mongram's Boot Hill Express or Aurora's '39 LaSalle hearse. I wish some company could start to produce more limo/hearse/ambulance type vehicles.Idea

The "Possum Van" from the "Red Green Show," which is always having its side-view mirror knocked off. I have no pictures of it, but if any of my fellow Red Green fans are reading this, feel free to post some!

Then you've got Stuntman Mike's (Kurt Russel) deathproof Chevy Nova from Tarantino movie Deathproof, part of the Grindhouse duo.

 

There was also a nice Challenger in this movie, which the chicks dubbed "the Kowalski"

 

Also, Stunman Mike's Charger after he shamelessly smashed the beautiful Nova.
