Well, the blogosphere has spoken, and what it has to say is this: How could you forget Eleanor? The star of the original “Gone in 60 Seconds” was far and away the car mentioned most by commenters as the car most deserving of a spot on our Top 10 Movie Cars list. To be honest, the 1973 Mustang Mach 1 was on our short list (and a personal fave), but it fell just short. Of the other cars posters say we overlooked, the remaining top seven (in order of support) were:
‘70 Dodge Challenger, “Vanishing Point”
’77 Trans Am, “Smokey and the Bandit”
’32 Ford Coupe, “American Graffiti”
BMW 735, “Transporter”
’76 AMC Pacer, “Wayne’s World”
Audi A8 L W-12, “Transporter 2”
