True to the nature of the American people, the Hollywood movie industry has venerated and immortalized certain vehicles that will forever hold a place in our hearts. From the sleek and sexy to the dangerous and daring to fun and friendly, these cars are just as famous as their human co-stars, and in some cases, more highly regarded. Vehicles with similar makes and models have been the focus of collectors and restorers for decades. Here, we give you an overview of some the most awesome autos to ever grace television and movie screens.

1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Ambulance – Ghostbusters – 1984

This modified ambulance was made famous as the clunky transport vehicle for the esteemed Ghostbusters supernatural defense team. The mere mention of this retro hearse/bogeyman deterrent will leave fans humming the unforgettable theme song…”Who ya’ gonna call?”

1969 Dodge Charger – The Dukes of Hazzard – 1979-1965

Even if you’ve never watched a single episode of the deep-South comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard, chances are you recognize the unforgettable paint job on the General Lee, as well as its signature horn. The recent Hollywood release based on the series paid homage to the original General Lee by staying true to the design of the original model, although Bo Duke’s affection for his car may have been a little exaggerated.

1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am – Knight Rider – 1982-1986

While this car on its own wasn’t especially exceptional, KITT, the AI-driven model featured in this 80’s television staple remains, by far, one of the coolest cars of all time. Not only was KITT clever, but it could interact with Michael Knight (the crime-fighting hero) and was armed to the (metaphorical) teeth. KITT’s signature sweeping lights have remained a characteristic that can still invoke images of feather-haired crime fighters and exciting chase scenes.

1955 Chevrolet 6700 Bus – The Partridge Family (1970-1974)

While this hulking psychedelic bus might not be as exciting as some of the other entries on this list, it is no less iconic. The image of this famous family vehicle serves as a reminder of simpler, happier times. The Partridge Family represented a world where nothing was more important than family values, and leading a good life was the greatest accomplishment you could have in life.

So far we’ve covered cars that fight crime and ambulances that fight ghosts; trippy tour buses and good old boy get-away cars. However, no list of famous vehicles would be complete without our final entry. Perhaps no other car in Hollywood has such a dedicated following. One can’t even mention the films featuring this car without getting involved conversations about the history of this famous automobile.

1981 DeLorean DMC 12 – Back to the Future – 1985

There are only so many vehicles in the world that can be cool enough (or unusual enough) to serve as a time machine. The DeLorean car company has been defunct for decades, but the fame and notoriety of this car is forever preserved in Hollywood history.
