10th Place: The 1970s MK IV British Leyland Mini 1000
From Mr. Bean
It has padlocks. It can be driven from the roof. It's yellow. And it's driver is one crazy wacko! It's Mr. Bean's car. What more can you ask for?Kudos to kab for pointing this car out. :)
9th Place: The 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS/4
From Miami Vice
The prize car of the Ray-Ban-wearing, Bren-Ten-toting Miami Vice policemen: this black beauty is actually not a real Ferrari--the ones they used in the set were replicas or kit-makes. And understandably so: who would want to drive a Ferrari onto guns-a-blazin' territory? Later, when Enzo Ferrari filed a lawsuit against the car's makers (or copiers), the show blew it up and replaced it with an '86 Testarossa. 8th Place: The DeLorean DMC 12
From Back to the Future
Great sparks! Don't underestimate this clunky-looking car, as it will literally bring you back... to the future. Not necessarily a generation-defining car in terms of use on the road (its gullwing doors are far from being practical), but it defined the '80s with its time-traveling capacities on screen. If you see one on the road, you'll surely be ecstatic. 7th Place: The 1975 Ford Gran Torino
From Starsky and Hutch
This red-hot car was not popular during the '70s and '80s, but is nonetheless known for its role as Starsky's prized possession. For classic car enthusiasts though, Starsky's way of treating it is a little teeth-clenching, to say the least. The man drives it as if it cost a cent! 6th Place: The Ferrari 308 GTS
From Magnum, P.I.
This car is from the sleazy show, Magnum P.I. When you live in a great house in Hawaii, go to work whenever you want, and are surrounded by gorgeous babes, do you really need a cherry-red classic car to top it all off? 5th Place: The '55 Ford Lincoln Futura
From Batman (Live Series)
Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed... but of course, there are no afterburners are in the real Futura. This is the classic Batman TV series car, with the tailfins and wacky windshields, minus the Bat Gizmos, of course. Too bad it didn't undergo mass production; we could've seen people wearing undies outside their pants. 4th Place: The Aston Martin DB5
From several James Bond films
So we have cops, detectives, vigilantes, and of course, who could forget spies? The stylish Aston Martin DB5 was driven by the world's most loved secret agent and playboy extraordinaire. Yes, the DB5 is Mr. Bond's classy car. This car is so associated with Sir 007 that its price skyrocketed after the first few Bond films. A modified one was sold in 2006 for $2,090,000. Talk about great marketing. 3rd Place: The '69 Dodge Charger (with a 429 Hemi Engine)
From The Dukes of Hazzard
This car could have been in the top one, but the two other remaining cars have so much punch, they toppled this one.This monster car was popularized by our ever-so-loved brothers, the Dukes. Yes, this sweet vintage car is none other than the good old General Lee. Who could forget this car? The shiny red paint and the number "01" on both sides is enough to bring back good memories. And of course, that "Dixie" tune when they honk the horn is priceless. In 1997, one of the models of this car sold at an auction for a whopping $450,000.
2nd Place: The 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am
From Knight Rider
And of course, who could resist remembering KITT from Knight Rider? David Hasselhoff? Nah, he's forgettable. But a classic car with flamethrowers, an intelligent AI, bomb sniffer, sleep gas, tear gas launcher, and tons of other gizmos is undeniably etched in history. Drumrolls please... 1st Place: 1976 Chevrolet Camaro
From The Transformers Movie
Bomb sniffer? Sleeping gas? That's nothing compared to a car that transforms into a FRIGGIN' GIANT ROBOT! This sexy ride stars at the Transformers movie as the ever-so-silent Bumblebee. It's just sad that the car morphed into a fifth-gen Camaro -- the 1976 edition was way cooler than that cheap kit-make. Want to Have Your Own Celebrity Car?

- The Trans-Am is a classic old horse, the muscle car of every kid's imagination who was brought up in the 80's... such car only deserves a true organic cleaning

- I've always imagined the looks you would get if you drove one of these classic well-known automobiles. We used to have a guy in town with a General Lee, Dixie horn and all.
