bbowser Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 i get a daily "This day in History" from the History channel. This day in 2007 Cars.com listed their top 10 TV cars82 Trans Am "KITT" from Knight RiderGeneral LeeMystery Machine from Scooby Doo (I guess cartoons can count?)Ferrari 308 from Magnum P.I.the original Batmobile75 Gran Torino from Starsky & Hutch73 El Camino from My Name is Earl83 GMC Van from the A-TeamMach 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.
Phirewriter Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 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.

Snake45 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 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 BatmobileMonkeemobileGeneral LeeKooky's TMunster KoachStarsky's TorinoOlds VistaCruiser (That '70s Show)Fred Sanford's truck, whatever it was.A-Team vanThe 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.
Xingu Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Nash Bridges Cuda is my all time favorite TV carI liked the boats from Miami Vice more than the cars.Hated seeing all of the General Lee Chargers getting crashed every week.

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.
