Automobiles not only play a large part in the creativity of a movie they can even become the entire plot. There are so many interesting automobiles throughout film history and this great visualization from the team at
TitleMax shows 50 of the most iconic ones. First on the timeline is the Mercury Coupe from 1955's Rebel Without a Cause which helped James Dean fully embody his cool rebellious attitude in the film. One of my early favorites on this timeline is 1968's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang mobile. I still remember all the lyrics from that song 30 years after the first time I saw it. Another great automobile from 1978 on this timeline accompanied by a catchy song was Greased Lightning from the musical Grease. Another childhood favorite is 1984's Ectomobile from Ghostbusters. That quirky mobile racing to the scene of a ghost sighting with that iconic siren still rings in my ears. See which picks on this list spark joy for you!
