Classic Cars You Have Seen in Movies

Classic Cars You Have Seen in Movies
You have seen then in many movies, The Fast and Furious chain, Mad Max, or James Bond, and we all love them and want one. Popular Mechanics put together a list of cars that have been seen in classic movies, some you have seen and some you need to go out and rent, trust me.

Check Them Out

  • 1964 Aston Martin DB5, Goldfinger- James Bond's legacy of famous cars and far-out gadgets can be traced back from one car—the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 007 driven in Goldfinger and Thunderball. Even without the spy modifications, (included ram bumper, machine guns, ejector seat, smoke screen, or oil-slick sprayer), it is still a work of art.
  • 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, Smokey and the Bandit- Director Hal Needham couldn't have predicted the impact that car would have on America. After audiences saw that Trans Am slide around corners, leap over broken bridges and evade Sheriff Buford T. Justice, they wanted to be behind the wheel of a black and gold T/A. Sales leaped by about 30,000 cars from 1977 to 1978 and by another 24,000 for 1979.
  • 1932 Ford Coupe, American Graffiti- Some might not know, but George Lucas shot American Graffiti, a reflection of his memories of the car culture in California in the 1960s. The recognized Deuce Coupe was powered by a Chevy 327 V8 and sits a little tall in the rear for some seriously cool rake.
  • 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, Back to the Future- Let's not forget this little gem. John DeLorean's DMC-12 was a stainless steel stunner designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro and under the hood, a pokey 130-hp 2.9-liter V6. Its futuristic looks combined with a bit of movie magic gave the DeLorean legendary status, but in real life, the DeLorean flopped on the market in the 1980s.

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

  Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...

A Few Facts About the Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company has seen it all since Henry Ford opened the Ford Motor Company in 1902. From producing vehicles for the public to helping with military equipment, going through some rough times in the past, and to some financial problems. The company has proven to be a brand that plans on sticking around for a long time. Here are a few interesting facts that many have not worked out and some that we still see today. Ford Facts Ford was the first company to manufacture and sell cars. Their first model, the Model A, sold for $850 and only hit a max speed of 30 mph.  The Ford assembly line was devised after Henry Ford got the idea from a pig-slaughtering plant.  They offered better pay to their employees offering double the market average pay at $5 a day.  While the first Ford was sold in 1903 to Dr. Pfennig (Ford’s current CEO, Jim Hackett, owns it today), the iconic Ford logo was first introduced in 1907.  Many may not know that H...

Is the Future Now? Self Driving Cars

  SELF DRIVING CARS Popular Mechanics - If you were like me growing up, the future looked like an episode of The Jetsons. As a kid, I thought the future what going to bring us talking watches, self-cooking ovens that prepare entire meals, closets that dress us at the push of a button, and of course flying cars. Well, we are not that far off. At the moment there is a possibility that we will see self-driving vehicles on our roads. This possibility has been on the horizon for the past few years, as companies like Tesla and Waymo have been focused on bringing autonomous vehicles to the market. In 2017, the U.S. House passed legislation that could accelerate the development of self-driving cars by allowing them to be driven in all 50 states. The Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research In Vehicle Evolution Act (SELF DRIVE) exempts automakers from some safety standards that aren't relevant to autonomous vehicles and permits selling up to 25,000 cars per year without needing ...
