Topic: The best classic automobile on TV? (from z1rra)

A poll for the classic car enthusiasts on the site.

I won't pretend to know anything about cars, so if any of the information in the poll is wrong, then blame Google for misleading me.  And z1rra for influencing the poll.

And before anyone complains, I left off the Batmobile because a) that show was stupid, and b) it would probably too easily win.

at first glance the only serious error is the excluded Sunbeam from Get Smart. but i've been waiting a long time for this. i very much appreciate it KB big_smile. ah and i went for the a-team van for all the fond memories and the awesome red stripe.

i really hope this gonna be a-team vs knight rider tongue

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

Re: The best classic automobile on TV? (from z1rra)

i voted for the supernatural one because i love the sound it makes at idle and the coarse note it gives when Dean puts his foot down.

I'm familiar with many of those older series' cars but back then I knew nothing about cars so i dont really have a nostalgic love for any of them. I like Ward's suggestion for Angel's Plymouth though, that was a nice convertible and so was the cuda suggested by tanstaafl and xrnzaaas

kb: lol re the batmobile - you are right on both counts but thats why the show was good smile

Basic, yeah.  Cos that show is just soooooo well known.  roll

And I did think about Herbie, Insuborden, but Herbie was only in movies, wasn't he?  Unless I missed something - movie cars would have to be an entirely different poll!  smile

And man, I totally should have included the buggy from the Banana Splits.  Hee.  lol

Re: The best classic automobile on TV? (from z1rra)
