i get a daily "This day in History" from the History channel.  This day in 2007 Cars.com listed their top 10 TV cars

82 Trans Am  "KITT" from Knight Rider

General Lee

Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo  (I guess cartoons can count?)

Ferrari 308 from Magnum P.I.

the original Batmobile

75 Gran Torino from Starsky & Hutch

73 El Camino from My Name is Earl

83 GMC Van from the A-Team

Mach 5 from Speed Racer (another cartoon!)

05 Maserati Quattroporte from Entourage  (I had to look this one up, never seen the show)

Not sure why they saw fit to include cartoon drawings.  I think there are kits available for almost all of these, possibly excepting the El Camino and the Maserati.

If cartoons count how about Speed Buggy and the Wacky Racers? ? Where are the Munsters Coach and Dragula? Yet there's a POS El Camino and a blah Maserati on the list.

Funny this should come up. Was just thinking about it the other day. Here's my list of TV (NO MOVIE) cars, in no particular order:

Original Batmobile

Monkeemobile

General Lee

Kooky's T

Munster Koach

Starsky's Torino

Olds VistaCruiser (That '70s Show)

Fred Sanford's truck, whatever it was.

A-Team van

The various Route 66 Corvettes.

 

I reserve the right to bump/replace a couple if the mood strikes me.

If we're allowed cartoon cars I'll take George Jetson's flying bubbletop over the Fred Flintstone Flyer.

Nash Bridges Cuda is my all time favorite TV car

I liked the boats from Miami Vice more than the cars.

Hated seeing all of the General Lee Chargers getting crashed every week.

That's a good one and the judge's truck was sharp like Rocky's truck in the Rockford files...

I have a couple. Any of you remember The Furniture Guys? Or Furniture To Go? Ed Feldman had this sweet '54 Chevy pickup. Here's a drawing I did of it. 350 SB,Mustang II front suspension,disc brakes,etc. It was on the show several times.

Another one I liked is the '55 Pontiac convertible on I love Lucy.

I know,I have weird taste.
