\"\"<\/a>Ridelust.com charts their picks for the 50 Most Famous Cars from Movies and TV<\/span>. Looking at the list I\u2019m surprised that my #2<\/span> choice didn\u2019t show up anywhere! How in the world could Marion Cobretti<\/span>‘s custom 1950 Mercury<\/span> not make the list?<\/span><\/span><\/span>Oh well. Using just their choices here are my top ten:<\/span><\/p>\n

10. 1970 Dodge Charger<\/span> from The Fast and The Furious<\/span> film. Fun movie and a fun car!<\/span><\/p>\n

09. 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 fastback <\/span> from Gone in 60 Seconds<\/span>. I didn\u2019t care for the movie at all. I am a huge fan of Mustangs<\/span> though. In fact I owned a sweet little 72 Mustang<\/span> back in high school. I did love that car!<\/span><\/p>\n

08. 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am <\/span> from Smokey and The Bandit<\/span>. It seemed that everyone wanted a Trans Am<\/span> back in the late 70\u2019s<\/span>. They were cool for a while, but then kind of went the way of disco.<\/span><\/p>\n

07. 1981 DeLorean DMC 12<\/span> from Back To The Future<\/span>. Who wouldn\u2019t want a car that could be cleaned with a brillo pad?<\/span><\/p>\n

06. 1973 [heavily modified] Ford Falcon XB GT <\/span> from Mad Max<\/span>. Hey, the year 2012 <\/span>will soon be here, so I may need that car!<\/span><\/p>\n

05. 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS\/4 <\/span> from Miami Vice<\/span> television series. Heck, I\u2019d even push my jacket sleeves up when driving it.<\/span><\/p>\n

04. 2054 Lexus CS <\/span> from Minority Report<\/span>. All of my previous choices have been heavily influenced by the movie\/tv show that the car appeared in, except for #9<\/span> and this one. This car is just too cool looking not to want… despite the movie just being okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

03. 1974 Ford Gran Torino<\/span> from the Starsky and Hutch<\/span> television series. There was a time when everyone wanted one of these. People with other makes of cars had the Starsky and Hutch<\/span> stripe painted on them. I believe that John Beatty <\/span>would have even given up his beloved Charger<\/span> for this bad boy.<\/span><\/p>\n

02. 1966 Chrysler Crown Imperial<\/span> from The Green Hornet<\/span> television series. Who wouldn\u2019t want a car that Bruce Lee<\/span> used to drive?<\/span><\/p>\n

01. 1955 Lincoln Futura Concept Car <\/span>from the Batman<\/span> [1966-1968] television series. I\u2019ve said it before<\/span><\/a> and I\u2019ll say it now, If I was a rich man, this would be my ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
