Everyone has their own opinion on which is the most famous car of all to tear up the silver screen. There are countless contenders in the automotobile ‘Hall of Fame.'
Some will argue the Delorean DMC-12 is the most iconic, while others say it is the Aston Martin DB5. There are no right or wrong answers. Every movie-loving car enthusiast has their own favorite.
This orange 1969 Dodge Charger featured prominently in The Dukes of Hazzard with Bo and Luke Duke sliding into their seats through the windows as they made their escape from Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane.
The DB5 is famous for being loaded with gadgets, but the car initially only had a smokescreen. The film crew started coming up with ideas for the car's defenses, and the producers listened.
Smokey and the Bandit film featured a top-of-the-line Pontiac Trans Am with a phoenix decal and air intake on and through the hood. It's now recognizable by its hood emblem alone.
The Delorean Motor Company produced the DMC-12 as an American-made exotic supercar. It was a market failure when released in 1981 but made a perfect prop for the movie Back to the Future.
Through the judicious use of tan carpet on the exterior and interior, the film producers were able to transform the 1984 Ford Econoline van into a cartoonish dog.
The actual vehicle is a Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex end loader. Miller-Meteor built around 400 of these vehicles used both as ambulances and hearses.
