The Coolest Movie Car?

[Range Rover Blues]

What about the lead-sled in Rebel without a cause, James Deans own car though he was more famous for the thing that killed him.

[Darren]

How about 'The Car' driven by the Devil himself?



Based on a 1971 Lincoln Continenal Mark III (with a 7.5l engine!) and extensively modified by George Barris, who designed both the Munsters car and the Batmobile used the in the '60's TV series :D

[quote="Bush Tucker ManThe Prisoner car is a Lotus (they still made them at that point)

edit
right ok I'll rephrase that then - it was a LOTUS not a CATERHAM 7 -


 The original KAR120C was provided by Caterham Car Sales, the main Lotus distributor, and was their demonstrator. After ARRIVAL it went back to it's day job and was eventually sold. The distinctive number plate was retained by Caterham because each hand-assembled car was re-worked and re-registered to the new owner. Subsequent demonstrator vehicles were therefore probably all KAR120C. The vehicle used in FALLOUT is significantly different to the one in ARRIVAL.
As filming of THE PRISONER progressed, Caterham supplied a mock-up KAR120C each time it was required.

The Prisoner: Episode Seven

Many Happy Returns

PRISONER: Whats the number of that car?
MRS BUTTERWORTH: Terribly interesting
PRISONER: KAR120C  What's the engine number?
MRS BUTTERWORTH:  Do tell me
PRISONER:  461034TZ
MRS BUTTERWORTH:  Marvellous
PRISONER:  I know every nut and bolt and cog.  I built it with my own hands.
MRS BUTTERWORTH:  Then you're just the man I want to see.  I'm having a good deal of overheating in traffic.  Perhaps you'd care to advise me.  Come in ...


Well that solves that then!

Best movie car?  The time travelling Series 1 which appears (fleetingly) in the closing scenes of Ice Cold in Alex.

Hi all, just caught up and a great thread!

However, I must put my vote as Christine as already suggested. And a correction if I may be so bold....

[Puts on obsessive-compulsive-disorder anorak]

Christine in the movie was billed as a '57/8 Plymouth Fury and it was not a standard car as suggested!!

Plymouth never made a Fury in red for a start, it only came in sand dune white for 57 and buckskin beige for 58. It had a gold grille and two-tone interior.

The toredor red / iceburg white paint and similar features where only available on the Belvedere's and Sport Suburbans of the 58 Plymouth range.

Christine's interior was completely custom, as was the engine, as whilst it was available for the 58 Fury and Belvedere, it was not dollied up with chrome from the factory!

IN the book and to a degree, the film, it was evident that Christine was a custom special request, specifically order with the colour spec, etc. Although I doubt at the time Plymouth would have done this service on the standard production car as filmed, but that's Hollywood licence!

[Takes off obsessive-compulsive-disorder anorak]

In answer then to the question, Christine as decpicted in film, a custom 2-door 58 Plymouth Fury in toreodor red and iceburg white with two-tone red and white interior, custom trim, 350cui V8 IS indeed the coolest film car ever, period.

Oh and the fact she is possesed and kills your enemies is even better! The scene of Moochie's death is the coolest revenge scene ever. And a final note, if you have only ever watched the movie, which incedentally contains some superb lines, then please read the book by Stephen King. The depth of the story is ten-fold and the car stuff is magic.

Don't recognise the plate, should I?

I've got a MkIII for sale that just needs an engine/box and a repsray. I'd cut it up but it's too solid to scrap.

Julie prefers the MkI, so that's the keeper

[screwy]

I forgot to add to my Christine post (and she is still the winner of this thread!), if I had the room I would gladly chop my landrovers in for one and that's the only car you will ever hear me say that for.

Christine clones are getting more common, but I would prefer one in original form or in this paint job which I have to see is close to giving me a boner!!!! :shock:  :lol:  8)



I would sell my soul for that car! :D [/img]

Edit: Forgot to add that vehicle is a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere 2-door Sports Coupe V8 350cui in Jet Black with Sportone contrast and Iceburg white roof.
