1. 1960 Ford Anglia 105E, aka “The Flying Ford” (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, 2002)
This car was used in the 2002 Harry Potter sequel. The car has been illegally enchanted to fly and is said to be inspired by a friend’s car growing up that used to take J.K. Rowling on joyrides in her teenage years.
2. 1967 Shelby GT500, aka “Eleanor” (Gone in 60 Seconds, 2000)
For the 2000 remake, Eleanor got a makeover from the original yellow Ford Mustang to a gray 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback even though the movie depicted it as a Shelby GT500.
3. 1967 AMC Pacer, aka “Mirthmobile” (Wayne’s World, 1992)
Wayne’s World had an iconic car because it was so odd to look at, neither classic nor sporty but still had an impressive impact on the movie's reception. This vehicle was actually sold in 2022 at an auction for $71,500!
4. 1966 Ford Thunderbird (Thelma & Louise, 1991)
Don’t forget about Thelma and Louise in 1991. This 1966 Ford Thunderbird is the star of the show when the two best friends drive off a cliff in the Grand Canyon in the movie's closing scene. No one knows if they lived or died, and no one needs to know!
