From lovable to wicked, slick to shabby, cars as varied as filmmakers can possibly dream up have been a huge part of movies and TV shows from the start. Test your knowledge of the most famous auto stars of film and television history!
From the chauffeur-driven Packards of Hollywood's Golden Age to the futuristic machines of Sci-Fi—and all the souped-up hot rods, adorable talking Bugs and comically dilapidated family jalopies in between—cars have played an essential role in films and TV shows since the very beginning. Like costume and makeup, cars are an essential storytelling tool that helps establish character for the audience. A character's vehicle can tell us something about them right away. Is the character wealthy? messy? a crime fighter? old-fashioned? flamboyant? a gearhead? a knucklehead?
Of course, cars don't just play background roles. In some films, the car itself is the star, whether a lovable imp driving the franchise single-handedly (think Herbie from The Love Bug) or a far more sinister vehicular character (Christine, anyone?).
The car is the thing on plenty of TV shows, too. Could anyone possibly disagree that K.I.T.T. and the General Lee left stronger legacies than David Hasselhoff or the Duke brothers?
