Not exactly my #1 (that is already stated) but I am sure this one is the fave of many others... John Milner's 32 from American Graffiti.

Here's one from one of my favorite movies, bonus points if you know which movie the pics are from.

The remake of the movie can't hold a test tube to the original.

1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible [76A]

Yup, and I bet that Gal wasn't even in the showrooms yet when they made the movie.

I haven't see much about the 'Mad Max' movies, who doesn't like the star?  I recently checked out YT videos about the cars, now I want to watch the last one.

For all the hype about the Ferrari in the 'Thomas Crown Affair', it had about 30 seconds of time, and never heard it run, so this is like a footnote here.  Didn't stop me from building the Italeri: Ferrari 275 N.A.R.T. - Thomas Crown Affair🙂

I have to admit I like Columbo's Peugeot. Apparently throughout the 1971-78 and 1989-2003 series the car was in every episode except for one that took place in England and one that took place on a boat (both 70s episodes). Also other cars throughout the series.

1960 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet

1971 Lincoln Continental [53A]

1977 Pontiac Grand Prix

Funny,I came across this in the inter web.Thought  it would be interesting.(.Internet Movie Cars Database (IMCDb) is an online database of auto, motorcycle and other motor vehicle appearances in films. The website was created in 2004 with a name similar to Internet Movie Database)🤔👍

Been usin’ that site since 2020, all the photos I put on here came from that site. It really is the best place to find out movie and tv cars that you may not be sure what they are.

Same here. That's where all the pics I've posted in this thread came from.

Anybody remember THX 1138 ?

At one point ( Just  as the chase starts) the camera scans the dash, and the speedometer is reading 250 MPH.

The radio claims his speed at 235 MPR Later in the chase.

They re-edited this film and made the chase scene longer, but I like the original better.

After giving it some thought, this is probably the first TV/ movie car I was exposed to. Supercar! This was before I discovered Speed racer, I'm thinking the early sixties. Was there ever a kit made of it?OIP(3).jpeg.fa16d246671fb4eb055eec40f4733a86.jpeg

I think it was a modified Lola T70 Mk III.  Never seen the movie, but I've read that.
