Cars have been a quintessential part of movies for decades. From road trips to chase scenes to pile-ups, cars have often become characters themselves, as integral to the story as the hero.

Cars have been appearing in movies since the earliest days of cinema, and in all that time there are certain vehicles that have become nothing less than iconic.

These vehicles are instantly recognizable and easily associated with a particular film, such as the time-traveling 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future, The Italian Job’s Mini Coopers, James Bond’s Aston Martin D85 in Goldfinger, the 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor in Ghostbusters, or the Batmobile.
