What You Never Knew About TV's Most Iconic Cars

[@marktangney9467]

the dukes of Hazzard can't be replaced, ya got to love the general lee

[@vincentwade1]

I had two 1969 Dodge Chargers. One was a green Special Edition with a 383, the other was a professionally done General Lee replica, but the doors still opened. It was an R/T, with a 440 Magnum and could exceed(barely) the 150mph on the speedo, although it was scarily unstable. I only drove it past 150 on two occasions, for that reason. Both had 727 Torque-flight automatic transmissions. I gave the green Special Edition to my younger brother, and drove the General Lee to NAVFAC Centerville Beach, near Ferndale Ca while I was stationed there in the Navy. One day after being injured in a logging rodeo, I tried to drive home to the base with a severe concussion, blacked out, and drove that Charger off a 100 ft cliff. I was lucky(I landed in a mud hole) and didn't die, although I received another blow to the head. That car was tough. Although it was smashed to the windshield, it had very little deformity of the passenger compartment, just a little buckling of the roof. They were designed to go head-on with a car of equal weight at 60mph, and have zero deformity of the passenger compartment. This design quality surely helped save my life. It was three months before things dried out enough so that the Navy could have the vehicle removed from the bottom of the cliff. That was 1983, and they still kid me about it when I visit from time to time.

[@christhomas1708]

Needed a top ten list. Original Batmobile, Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino, & A-Team van are all TV iconic car requirements. Since 2 of the 5 in the video are from movies we can't leave out Smokey & The Bandit Trans AM in addition to many more.

[@murdiesel]

Fall Guy Truck as well!

[@davedruid7427]

And the Rockford Files Gold Camaro.

[@idontknowwhattoputasmyuser1231]

I LOVE the General Lee and K.I.T.T. so much!!!

[@unionblacksmith7843]

oh my God a car hauler full of 1969 Dodge Chargers and late 70s big block Mopar squad cars, Dodges and Plymouths... somebody get me an oxygen tank

[@bwtv147]

I think you mean early 70's Mopars.

[@21_Country_Patriot]

If I could drive a famous car... it would be General Lee. The iconic 1969 Dodge Charger.

[@stchman]

Neither the DeLorean or Christine were "TV" cars, they were "movie" cars.

[@edwardgriffin8092]

Back To The Future. The DeLorean was chosen because of its SLIDING DOORS. I think you will find they are called Gull Wing doors that do not slid.

[@davebrittain9216]

I really think the number one iconic car is the original Bat Mobile. There should have been mention of Herbie the Love Bug and the 67 Shelby Mustang in Gone in 60 seconds. There have been so many copies of "Eleanor" that its ridiculous! Lets not for get the Highland green 68 Bullet mustang in Bullet which just happens to be my fav car of all time! I had one back in high school.

[@raymondwiggins354]

Possible candidates 1) Batmobile (Original Batman series) 2) Mystery Machine (Scooby Doo) 3) Rambler American (Third Rock from the Sun) - I love this car

[@marka.graffakasnakebitenat3736]

How about the Vista Cruiser station wagon? Actor Wilmer Villarama (FES from 70's Show) owns that car.

[@russellj.s.257]

KITT is awesome but I prefer the General Lee

[@rwfrench66GenX]

The George Barris Lincoln from the movie "The Car" was badass! George Barris gets another nod for "The Love Machine" van from a movie called "Super Van". I know those are movies and not TV but George Barris did a lot of TV cars too like The Munsters, Batman, The Monkees and The Green Hornet.

There were 311 General Lee cars used in the series. 296 were used up for stunts, and jumping. the remaining were the closeup filming cars, and the show cars, that traveled around to advertise the series.

[@manhtudoodo1729]

You screwed the pooch on this one or you are too young to remember truly iconic cars. 1) the Munster mobiles;2) the Monkeys' van;3) the Partridge family bus;4) BJ's semi-tractor-trailer;5) the Batmobile;6) Starsky & Hutch's Ford;7) Stamford and Son's truck;8) the Corvette from Route 66;9) the Adam 12 patrol car;10) Rockford's firebird; 11) Columbo's Peugot;12) the Harts' Rolls convertible; and 13) the Berverly Hillbillies' jalopy;14) the Saint's Volvo; and15) the Get Smart cars in the opening credits! The Miami Vice cars had no personality!

[@manhtudoodo1729]

How can I forget the A-Team van!

[@w5pda]

BJ's truck was the Kenworth K-100 Aerodyne Cabover.

[@NonstopGam3r2250]

You forgot The General Lee and Burt Reynolds trans am

[@manhtudoodo1729]

If this was about iconic MOVIE cars, then Smokey's Trans Am (as well as Bandit's semi and B.T. Justice's sheriff's car) would have a place with the time traveling Delorean, Christine, Eleanor, Suzanne Summer's 57 T-bird from American Graffiti, the ex-cop car from the Blues Brothers and the Ghostbuster's ambulance. However, this is about iconic TELEVISION car.I did not forget the General Lee, it was mentioned in the video.

[@MrEdwin57]

Don't forget that bad ass Charger from Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry !

[@luisfelipehernandezmontoya2054]

Mainly, I want to drive KITT. And also I want a special die-cast collection of Film and TV Cars to be made someday. Good choices for the collection would be: LIVE ACTION * The De-Lorean Time Machine * The Ghostbusters Ecto-1 * The A-Team's GMC Van * KITT, the Knight Rider * The Fall Guy's GMC Pickup * H&M's Coyote-X * Riptide Nick's Chevy Corvette * The DH's General Lee * S&H's Ford Grand Torino ANIMATED * The Flintstones Lodgemobile * Speed Racer's MACH 5 * The Mystery Machine * The Loud Family's Vanzilla * The 87 TMNT's Turtle Van

[@sb4pro]

My two fav tv vehicles are the Fall Guy GMC truck and Hardcastle & McCormack Coyote

[@peted8053]

Long ago there was an article on the FG Truck. And, they broke a lot of trucks. Was lucky enough to see them filming in the San Fernando Valley and they had ~6 trucks different years, but all painted the same. Miss the show...

[@NonstopGam3r2250]

My 2 Favorite Is General Lee and Starsky And hutch car

[@marka.graffakasnakebitenat3736]

Rumor has it that when Actress Heather Thomas (CJ from Fall Guy) out of the Truck. Every actor including Lee Majors used to take time to sniff the seat for all of Heather's lovely scent.

[@LaserLuther]

My dad worked at a GM dealer in LA and use to see the trucks with the general Lee's parked on the side streets. Many years later he built a transmission for the Dukes of Hazard funny car that was in an episode that got pulled.

[@LtJackboot]

I think you got this list backwards. The Ferrari from Miami Vice was definitely NOT the most iconic TV car, it was the General. Hell, they didn't even bother to give the Ferrari a name! And Christine and the DeLorean are from movies.

[@theeecandlemaker2197]

Bullitt should be at number one!

[@ffjsb]

That was a movie car too.

[@neilphillips162]

[@NonstopGam3r2250]

They shoulda replaced the ferrari from Miami Vice with general lee and removed the ferarri, added the car from starsky and hutch

[@fredcollins5839]

For one, General Lee should had been 1st, & secondly, where's the Bandits Car? Who really has that many Miami Vice cars really!

Nothing in my neck of the woods that could beat it. 10.80's in the quarter, one tenth faster than the TLB car.

furys are rare, even when that film was made they were rare, which is why the used Savoys as stunt cars. savoys are getting pretty rare too and neither are cheap, exspecialy to restore.

[@HRWatson68]

I've been told by assembly line workers who built the car and have since retired from Chrysler that it was in fact a Belvedere, and not a Fury.

[@gosportjamie]

There are some inaccuracies here. The "problem" with Ferrari Testarossas cutting out if they were spun at high speed wasn't a fault or a technical problem, it was actually a design feature of the car, the idea being that if you managed to spin a Testarossa at high speed you were probably starting to have a big crash (the Testarossa was an extremely stable and grippy car which made them extremely difficult to do silly things with unless you were travelling at very high speed which is why, despite their extremely eye-catching looks they weren't used much as "hero" cars in film or TV, it was simply too difficult for the drivers to get them to do anything exciting) so the fuel system was designed so that a certain level of centrifugal force would cut off fuel supply to the engine thereby cutting it and also shutting off the fuel pump so that when the crash happened there would be no major fire, just a flash fire as the fuel remaining in the lines burnt off. According to the best information available the DeLorean at Universal isn't the original car from Back to the Future. It is, however, an original car from one of the sequels. The original Back to the Future DeLorean, which was an unsold car bought very cheaply after it had sat on a dealers back lot for at least 2 years and was in poor condition. Fairly inevitably it proved to be extremely unreliable during filming which is why it is almost never seen actually driving under its own power in the film. After shooting finished the car was quietly disposed of, and apparently everyone was profoundly glad to see the back of it. After circling around in the trade for some time the car landed up with a DeLorean enthusiast who started the restoration, the car having extensive rust under the stainless steel bodywork. Unfortunately having done all the hard work and being very close to the point of having a brand new car to enjoy (the car had never been registered) the car and the remaining parts waiting to be fitted to it were stolen from the owners workshop and have never been seen again. The fact that the theft was extremely professional and that it was only the car and its parts were taken, none of the tools or other stuff in there were touched, rather suggests that the vehicle was stolen to order for an owner seeking parts that, at that time, were listed as unavailable. This was well before the link between the missing car and the film were known, and indeed before interest in the film was sufficient for that fact to make the car significantly interesting to be more valuable than any other DeLorean. Indeed it was only after interest in the film became enough to make tracing the film cars important that the identity of the lost DeLorean as the original film car came to light via the discovery of paperwork relating to the original sale of the car to the production company listing the VIN of the car and paperwork that the owner of the car had listing the same VIN. If the car still existed the interest in the film and therefore the cars value make it very likely that the car would have surfaced somewhere, maybe with an owner unaware of its history as a stolen vehicle, but it remains resolutely lost so the logical conclusion must be that the car was stripped for parts, maybe to the extent that the body and chassis were broken too. If that is the case then logic would also seem to suggest that the chances are that if you own a DeLorean and have ever changed out vehicle-specific parts then there is a fair chance that you own a small part of the Back to the Future car as there are extremely limited sources for parts...

[@kimmer6]

The steering is heavy, the back tires wear out much too quickly, and at night in the rear view mirror reflections make it look like 1000 cars are following you. They overheat in stop and go traffic and the clutch is pretty stiff. The clutch and brake are offset to the right as the wheel well protrudes into the driver's foot area. The first panic stop you make you will stab the clutch in thinking its the brake. The leather Momo steering wheel is as slippery as ice when its cold outside. A 3 liter 205 horsepower V-8 behind the seats sounds great but is pretty weak as the car is heavy. The coolest thing is the engine/gear train whine. Most people can't find the door latch under the forward part of the arm rest to get out of the car. They hid the gas filler cap behind the driver's side shark gill panel and you need a key to unlock it first. But it sure looks fast even when parked!

[@williamwold5993]

no but the real expense is having to always have them in the shop for repairs and constant maintenance

[@dmanalang9037]

Thanks for the replies, I think I will just stick to my old Japanese cars. LoL

I did my own work on my 308. I made the special wrenches needed to remove the transmission transfer gears and installed a new clutch disk. It was a Borg and Beck, common name but you could only buy it through the Ferrari dealer for $235. A B&B disk for a 427 Corvette cost $27 at the time. I replaced all of the coolant hoses...must be a dozen connectors under the body...and replaced the cam belts. I drilled and tapped the rear distributor to carry both sets of points triggered off one set of cam lobes. The 308 had 2 distributors and getting the spark advance to track properly was a pain. Problem solved. I saved a ton of money doing the work myself and did a meticulous job to make sure everything was correct. I would say it was a reliable vehicle but repairs for the average person would be expensive. It would always fail emissions tests as well. That's why I quit driving it.

Christine was a 1958. The 1957 Plymouth Fury looked very similar but had single headlights with the inner lights being running/directional lights. The Chrysler Corporation designed the 1957 Plymouth in anticipation of federal regulations to allow 4 head lights. Their timing was off as that regulation did not go into effect until 1958. While some cars produced in 1957 did have 4 headlights, they were not legal in all states until 1958. Another interesting fact left out is that in the book Christine was a four door. The author did not realize that Plymouth Fury's were only available as 2 door configurations as was used in the movie,

[@jtkirkfan2002]

Christine was a 1958 Fury, not '57. No one really cares about Miami Vice anymore. Adam West's Batmobile should have been on the list and should have been #1.

[@dressshoeguy]

Jim Schuck Totally agree with you I’m surprised it was not listed.

[@novidsheremovealong1893]

Christine was a 58 fury, but they used 57-58 plymouths savoys and plazas, they did use the fury in some parts where is was smashed, they tinted the glass so you couldn't see the stuntman and roll cage

[@lpd1snipe]

Dude I read quick but a few more seconds per frame would be great.

[@gary8t88]

If i could drive any car from TV. It would be the Batmobile from the 1966 TV series.

[@ForDemoPurposesOnly]

Title should say "Hollywood's most Iconic cars", as the Fury and the Delorean are from films, not TV shows.

[@losthomas7589]

General Lee should be number 1!

[@feralcatbrothers]

Actually "Christine" was a 1958 Plymouth, not a 57.

[@toddshannon5037]

Correct.and a belvedere not a fury like reprints of the book claimed. Christine was originally a buick

[@sf7truthseeker630]

The Green Hornet's 'Black Beauty'....from the original series during the 60's, and the one from the movie more recently. Rockets, machine guns, flame- throwers, and definitely the flip-out turn-table. Station.

[@mr.iforgot3062]

I would drive the AMC Pacer from Wayne's World.

[@01hondascott]

complete with Liquorice dispenser and dash board mounted cd player

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

If I were to drive a movie car, I guess it would be the Lamborghini Countach from the Cannonball Run.

[@dispengel]

And the Rockford Files Firebirds - the 74 and 75.

[@atranfanatic]

Yep '74-'78 Firebird 400's.

[@spacetrucker2952]

It was a firebird esprit, I think that's how you spell it anyway.

[@tonyjustmeogodell242]

+SPACE TRUCKER yeah had one myself I put the olds 455 Big Block in it ,fast car I didn't pass up a lot of gas stations because of this big Edelbrock 850 dual line carburetor I was running on it ,and I'm telling you it wouldn't run worth s..t on regular unleaded, If I didn't put 93 in it that carburetor wasn't worth a lick, but now as long as I had 93 it would run like it was built to run ,with all them high performance parts put in it, I used a lot of Edelbrock Parts on that motor'' every once in awhile would even run a little racing fuel in it, but thank God back then Super unleaded was like $0.99 a gallon;; yeah everytime I see one out I miss the one that I had, ,most ones I see are the gold color but the one I had was the Pontiac blue ;;yeah the old Pontiac espirit Firebirds the only complaint I had with mine was it was so heavy yeah they went all metal on them cars, dang I would love to have that car parked in my garage take it out on the weekends, all polished up and that big block Counting those licks off now I would trade those transmission back out from a four-speed back to an automatic,,hahaha ..should have never changed it over anyways, now my knee has enough pain driving this super 10 in this Kenworth tow truck, now if I didn't need the extra pulling power I would have bought it with the automatic, but I just couldn't imagine giving up that take off and pulling power now I have some good size loads on it at times

[@atranfanatic]

Tony Odell Yeah I have a '75 base model Firebird, that started with a 350 Pontiac, then when I got her used in '97 had a 301 Pontiac, then I put a '77 403 Olds, then a '71 455, and now she has a '69 Buick Skylark 350 big block. I have a '67 Pontiac 400 big block I am building to put back and it will be pushing between 500-600 horsepower. With a rebuilt 400 Turbo Hydromatic Transmission. She looks more like a '77 hard top Trans Am clone. With mostly Trans Am parts on and also in her interior. Including the rare 160mph speedometer. And the aluminum faced Trans Am dashboard and gauge cluster. More work to do though. lol

[@Cropredy02]

The General Lees were {for the most part, if not entirely} built for the series by a company in Chamblee Georgia; i was once driving into Atlanta on I-20 from Birmingham and saw an entire auto hauler full of General Lees heading west in the other lane... * * * King apparently described Christine as a two-tone white-over-red 1957 Plymouth Fury without knowing that that colour combination was not available in 1957. Some of the cars used in the film were actually Dodge Belvederes, which used the same chassis and basic body design. The car that was crushed by cables driven by hydraulic cylinders was actually a full-sized plastic replica; the cables crumpled it to match the real car that had been crushed by a front-loader ... and then the film was run backward to show it "healing" back to perfect condition.

[@jimritzheimer7465]

Joe Dirt's Hemi Road Runner

[@meanf1502]

that was a super bee not a road runner

[@joeblow800]

+shtupstpd That was a Superbird in the first movie.

[@meanf1502]

+Joe Blow no it was a Dodge charger to look like the Daytona one with is like the super bird just not worth as much

[@jimritzheimer7465]

Now i'm hearing it was a GTX, either way it was a bad ass car.

[@tonyjustmeogodell242]

the yellow car was a 69 Dodge Daytona. the other car was in 1967 Plymouth Belvedere a GTX want to be. supposably David Spade boat one of the 69 Dodge Daytona's completely restored with original motor for something like $900,000 yeah nine hundred thousand dollars no I can't see it

[@ldwithrow08]

The show was single handedly responsible for a huge increase in the value of 69 Chargers on the classic market. Not only did they make the car a cultural icon, they destroyed so many of them that they became very scarce much earlier than most models do.
