Iconic tv & movie cars

The blue Impala from the begining of the movie. If you've seen it you'll remember the high speed 4 wheel skid the car did, the Impala was heavily modified for the 70MPH+ skid. I can't find the info but it held the record for the longest straight line 4 wheel skid for years.

Movie OOps...








OOps...

 

I know it's an old thread but I don't imagine anyone will mind keeping this going for a bit.

I would love to put one of these posters in my garage!

I can name all but three of those. They forgot one also...a dark green Kenworth conventional tractor, which aired a couple years or so before that Aerodyne cabover did.

Slipping in a word about the not so "Iconic".
1990 movie "Waiting for the Light" (set in 1962) has numerous 50s and early 60s cars. Not a - car centric movie - but has plenty cars to go around. Comedy-Drama that is good viewing for motor heads. Is personally iconic for me because I have three cars in the movie. 59 Cadillac, 59 Galaxie, 62 Studebaker Lark. The 59s have momentary couple seconds exposures. Lark has significant exposure during last ten minutes. Is red Lark parked next to cafe in scenes as story line wraps up. Central car driven by main characters is 49-51 (don't recall exact year) Chev WAGON which gets a lot of screen time.
Box office flop,,, but figure most on Station Wagon Forums will find it to their taste.

 

Elsewhere on this site I've possibly made mention of my '83 CP having a bit shot in a movie called "Evergreen," which was filmed here in Everett. I've never seen the movie (and frankly sounds like a borefest), but if it didn't hit the cutting room floor, look for a dingy white CP with a gold hood and driver's front door, and a left-side Jeep-style tail light. Iconic enough for ya? That's mine. I was working my job at Bargain CDs, Records and Tapes in downtown Everett, and had the car parked on the street. My brother Tim comes walking in and tells me there's a film crew outside, halfway down the block, and Mr. Director wants to know whose wagon it was. I told Tim to let him know. He comes back in and informs me the director wants to know if I'd consent to having my hunk o'junk on film without compensation. I said "Tell him to have at it."

 

The recent show Marvels Agent Carter is set in late 40's after the war. It has some real nice cars in it.

 

I built that model. repainted brown later. May still be in my old closet at my mom and dads, unless my mom cleaned it in the past 30 years.

 

These were the Bugaloos. Looks more aimed the kids' dads:

 

There was a lot back then that was supposedly aimed at older males, makes me wanna vomit.

 

Great I had to watch that... now I'm going to have that ear worm stuck in my head all day... thanks!

 

Show it to your kids.

 

The French government initiated suggestive Burlesque-type (putting it mildly) weekend morning television, intending to boost birthrates, in the 90's.
Back then, unlike nowadays, these things were subtile. Look how young "ladies" dress, nowadays. A hooker would have to practically dress up like a nun, so that curb-scrapers could pick them out of a crowd

 

Is that why I've been doing it wrong? they really where nuns! dang!

 

Not bad looking, when dressed up and not out to squash Dennis:
