One of my favorite tv show cars is the Black Beauty from the Green Hornet. 1966 Chrysler Crown Imperial tricked out by a automotive artist, George Barris. A thing of beauty.

What's yours?
Mine would be The Dukes of Hassard.
Alright, I confess.. my favorite is probably the "evil twin" from Knight Rider.. KARR. I like oddball little tweaks of established stuff.
(hey, I said I hated Chevys.. not "B.O.P.".. or even GMC or Saturn.. heh)
The Love Bug, of course :headbang:
Elenor
Yes, Herbie is teh win!!!1
The Bandit. It's no coincidence that my first car was a black '78 Trans Am with gold decals...
car...elanor
also the A TEAM van
and most of all AIRWOLF although its not a car, i have always loved the bell222...these are RC

Eleanor isn't a TV show car, it's a movie car. :p Same goes for the Bandit's car. If we're gonna include movie cars, then I choose this one:
General Lee,or the Starsky and Hutch Torino.The General first.
i suppose...
WRAITH was awesome.
Here's my all time favorite... :D :bowdown:
The Dodge Viper from the Viper TV series, that or the General Lee.
I saw Smokey & The Bandit on TV, therefore it's a TV car ;)
Another good one is the Jeep Daisy Duke drove, only because she drove it. :)

1. The General Lee
in a distant tie for second would be: The Grand Torino or the Trans Am.
Ok, here goes, I know some of this is probably dated, but these helped in one way or another to mold my automotive psyche. The first 3 are of my favorite James Bond car, I know all of the Austins are cool, but to me, this one was awsome..
Next comes the Challenger from Vanishing point, we used to sit around and smoke some...I mean, sit around and have some popcorn and watch this one.
When we were not watching vanishing point while we were "eating popcorn" we watched Bullit, not only for the mustang, but for the Charger...
......
Another favorite was the old Fury from Christine
i loved the 3 mini coopers in the ORIGINAL italian job
All the way, Baby!

a neat shot from the movie
Eleanor in the 2nd Gone in 60 or the silver viper in Viper TV Series!
Maybe you should change the title to "favorite tv show or movie car"..
Hey now how about the pontiac firebird that jim rockford used on the rockford file`s
The Blues Bros monaco was another one...
And finally, back in the day, I had a 78' chevy 4x4, apparently I watched to much "fall guy"
love Eleanor!! :D
I know they're not TV show cars...but I always loved the cars from the movie "American Graffiti". The hiboy ford is my favorite but the Chev that Harrison Ford drove was pretty sweet too.

Ahh childhood memories........... that little VW it the reason I am hooked on cars today.
Here are a couple of shots of Milners rod in "American Graffiti". Nothin' better in my opinon than a well built hotrod.(http://www.ammoman.com/CHEVY/MilnerCoupe.jpg)

Okay, TV or MOVIE Car. While "the bandit" is one of my favorite cars, my favorite movie car of all time is the Delorean. Coolest movie car of all time. 1.21 Jigawatts!!!!

Speaking of DeLorean:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/03/20/obit.delorean/index.html
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=622120
There all some wild rides that have helped alot of us get into cars and doing them up.
I like this old move called Hotrod its a early 70s movie and has some old school racing,
I think its one of the best old movies when it comes to watching someone do work.
Another movie that was good was called BornToRun
Can't believe nobody has brought up Bullit yet. And if any of your wives watched Knotts Landing, they had a few Mark VIIs in that show.
i loved the munsters car
(http://www.javelinamx.com/carstars/mm1.jpg)
and not one of the best looking cars but it had some nice features if any one remembers this one
(http://members.tccoa.com/phyxius/untitled.bmp)
The Last Starfighter. Nice choice Centauri!
Keeping in line with the TV favorites - anyone recognize this bad boy? :bowdown:
White leather interior ... yes please! :bowdown:
nash bridges cuda.got a nice price a barret jacksons
The car from the tv series "Automan"
I would definatly take the 71 Cuda from Nash Bridges or the 69 Charger from Dukes of Hazzard as my top choices. I think that the cuda that they originally used in the pilot was purple convertible, I think they made a good choice going with the yellow. But what great memories of my childhood most of these bring up.
Jim
Lincoln Futura from bat man
Hey cool, another futura fan!! :D
Yeah my dad insists that its a 64 imperial he got all defensive when i showed him the futura which never made it to the market.In my own opinion its a pretty wicked sick car.
Oh a side note the creator of the batmobile is said to have bought this off of ford for a dollar.
Corvette Summer! :bowdown: Luke Skywalker can neva loose.
For us Canucks, I loved Ray Vecchio's 71 Riviera Wildcat in Due South. Picture this in green.
Bird351, what is that in your second post? Some kind of F-body?

Anyone remember this cartoon from the mid-80's? After a lab accident fused him and his car, he would turn itno his car when hot and then turn back into a teenager when cold. Now that I think about it, that was really a retarded premise for a cartoon. Hey, I was six!

I've always like Sanford & Son's junk truck!

OMG, that was a good movie and an awesome car!!!
But I must agree with the Munsters hot rod, that thing will always be cool
