Classic Cars on Television
It began with Henry Ford's revolutionary concept of the assembly line to mass produce cars and has evolved into a
passion for driving. Not only do we love driving cars, we also love watching them driven - both in a sporting avenue
and on screen. Television has grown to be an intricate part of our lives at the same time as cars have defined our
economy and interests. It was therefore natural that the two saw their paths intersect, with cars playing key entertainment
roles in television and movies. This site features five of the classic television cars that have had a substantial impact on
our culture.
These are certainly not the only cars that have been featured on television shows or in movies. There have been numerous other muscle cars,
luxury cars, jalopies and super sports cars
with notable television roles. Some of these other cars include the Get Smart Tiger Sunbeam, Pontiac Firebird Esprit from the Rockford
Files, the Batmobile, Green Hornet Chrysler Imperial, Mercury Parklane and Mercury Marquis from Hawaii five-O, Ferrari 365/GTB/4 Daytona
Spyder from Miami Vice, Nash Bridge's Plymouth Barracuda, Dodge Viper crime fighting car from the series Viper, Munsters' Koach,
the Mannix Oldsmobile Tornado, Dodge Stealth from Bandit, Flinstone's Flintmobile and the Beverly Hillbillies' Jalopy.
