Top 10 TV Cars

Yeah, it had so much character no one even knows what it was <G>.

Oh, and it was a 1959 Pugout 403, not a Volvo.

The 'Cuda from Nash Bridges was way cooler.

 

Yes, but the orginal topic was TV CARS, not vehicles.

There have been modern live-action movie treatments of the Flintstones,
and now they're producing a live-action Jetsons movie. Somebody should
do a live-action movie treatment of Supercar. If he would be agreeable
to do a children's story as a change of pace, I would hire Dale Brown to
help write a live-action Supercar script as a "children's technothriller."

Well, I guess my final recommendation of My Mother The Car fell on deaf
ears. Oh, well, so I got one wrong.

 

No, they should not.

Yeah, I was amazed they skipped Miami Vice; I figured they used up their
Ferrari quota on Magnum. And of course for (I think) most of the run it
was a GTSi. And I don't think Robin paid for gas. I mean, how could
he? Unless he gave Magnum a credit card. There isn't a gas pump to
steal from on the estate, and Higgins sure isn't gonna gas it up or
reimburse Thomas.

 

But it ain't a *TV* vehicle. The Enterprise E is a movie vehicle.

 

Shall we talk George Jetson?

 

I stand corrected. I should have said Enterprise D.

Thanks for the correction.

Jeff

 

Ah. I thought you really meant the E. I've never liked the D.

YMMV

 

A live-action version of Speed Racer is supposed to come out next year.
Cristina Ricci as Trixie, Susan Sarandon and John Goodman as Mom and
Pops Racer.

I think they should animate Speed though - No live actor could ever
capture his aura.

 

Oh, hell yeah! Was there ever a TV car that looked so much like, well, a
car?

 

What about KITT?

It just HAS to be on that list

 

Jed Clampet's Truck (From The Beverly Hillbilly's)

 

How about Captain Video's "Jet Mobile", really an Austin Healy. Yes I am
that old! Then there is the MKII Jaguar of Inspector Morse. I had one of
those.

Don't forget Red's Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser on "That 70's Show".

 

Thats about the only thing on your list I agree with. C'mon, you've got
Starsky's smogged-out SMALLBLOCK mid-70's single-exhaust Torino ranked
(which is an insult to Ford guys everywhere), and then you don't even
mention Mannix's Challenger or The General Lee (yeah, it was a dumb
show, but even that paint job can't ruin the looks of a '69 Charger), or
Daisy's yellow Sebring? Get real.

 

No, it doesn't. Another underpowered smogged-out 80s POS, not a real car
underneath. At least Rockford's firechicken could be had with a big-inch
v8. And I'm still trying to think of a Ford that's better than the
all-looks and no go 75 Torino on Starsky and Hutch.

 

Jeez. No mention of the Urkelmobile.

Maybe the big block powered, luxo barge Mercurys from Hawaii Five-0?

Actually, I can't think of any cool Ford TV cars. Movie cars are a different story;
Bullitt, Gone in 60 Seconds, White Lightning, etc.
