James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 tops a poll of the 40 Greatest Movie Cars of All Time. Of course, it’s a BRITISH poll, so go figure. Here’s the Top 10 . . .
1. James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5. It was in seven James Bond movies to date, starting with “Goldfinger” in 1964.
2. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. A customized Paragon Panther from “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. (1968)
3. Doc Brown’s DeLorean. A 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 from the “Back to the Future” trilogy. (1985 to 1990)
4. Herbie the Love Bug. A 1963 Model 117 Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle from various “Herbie” movies, starting with “The Love Bug” in 1968.
5. The Batmobile from the “Dark Knight” trilogy. (2005 – 2010)
6. James Bond’s Lotus Esprit S1 from “The Spy Who Loved Me”. (1977)
7. Greased Lightning. A 1948 Ford De Luxe from “Grease”. (1978)
8. Charlie’s getaway car. A 1968 Austin Mk I Mini Cooper S from “The Italian Job”. (1969)
9. The Ford Mustang GT Fastback from “Bullitt”. (1968)
10. The Batmobile. A customized 1954 Lincoln Futura from “Batman: The Movie” (1966)
(Obviously, this is also the car from the ’60s “Batman” TV series, and it SHOULD have been #1.)
Other cars that made the list include the Bluesmobile from “The Blues Brothers”, Ecto-1 from “Ghostbusters”, Mr. Frye’s Ferrari from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, Bumblebee from “Transformers”, The Shaggin’ Wagon from “Dumb & Dumber”, Fozzie’s uncle’s Studebaker from “The Muppet Movie”, and The Dude’s Gran Torino from “The Big Lebowski”.
