THE FOUR MOST ICONIC MOVIE CARS OF ALL-TIME

Ecto-1

The Ecto-1 is famously from the first two Ghostbusters films. The vehicle is a 1959 Cadillac professional chassis from the Miller-meteor company. In the 1984 film, Dr. Ray Stantz had to do a lot of work to restore the classic car.

James Bond’s Aston Martin

Ever since the elegant car was used in Sean Connery’s Goldfinger, Aston Martin and James Bond became synonymous with each other.

Since then, different models of Aston Martin have appeared in 11 other James Bond films. Four versions of the Aston Martin are set to appear in Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond, No Time to Die.

Batmobile

The Batmobile has gone through several transformations throughout the Dark Knight’s 80-year history, but the comic book vehicle was first brought to life in Batman (1966), and then later in the television series.

The iconic vehicle was later reinvented for Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and saw another dramatic change with the Tumbler for Batman Begins. The Batmobile continues to evolve with new versions, all becoming iconic in their unique ways. That’s part of why it’s one of the most iconic movie cars of all time.
