Here's a fun one from an Aussie movie:

 

I love the Last of the V8s (Falcon XB coupe) in Mad MAx 2 (or Roadwarrior)

 

And the 55 Chevy from two lane blacktop. That's my wife's aunt in the photo.

That 55 has done double duty, it was also Falfa's (Harrison Ford) 55 in American Graffiti.

So long folks!

what about Cobra's 50 Mercury Monterey?

 For those who are over 50 and "dig" hot rods, Kookie's Kar from the TV show "77 Sunset Strip" was a sweet ride(built by Norm Grabowski). It was the first  T Bucket with a short bed I recall seeing as a kid. Later on  I tried to duplicate it using AMT's 1925 Model T kit. It was so revolutionary it made it to Life magazine as a 8 page color spread. One picture showed Grabowski driving his creation in a drag race with Tommy Ivo's hot rod. As Kookie whould say "it's the Ginchiest, baby"....

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

And then, I also forgot Sonny Croket's  Black Daytona in Miami Vice.


 

And also the white Testarossa.

 

And I know it's not a car, but still a favorit...

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.

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!

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

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.
