For me, some of the most iconic cars I've ever seen have been in the movies, and on the tv, and so it begs the question - which one is your favourite?
Oh, where do I start? How do I begin??? Let's go with this - what is the first vehicle that you remember that caught your eye from a film or a tv show? For me, it's this one:
Forever branded on my memory is the 1978 Pontiac Firebird, driven by Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files, and for me, this was his partner in his Private Detective agency, and was with him through thick and thin...
Now the beauty of this car was that it handled well, and looked good - especially in Gold. For me, it's synonymous with the actor as well - James Garner.
James Garner was a huge movie and tv star, and is well known for this role. Fun fact, he did most of the driving in the show (which involved a fair number of chase scenes, lol) as he was a fantastic driver in real life.
He had been trained by champion racecar - and Formula One - driver Bob Bondurant in the 1960's for the film Grand Prix, and it was love at first sight for the actor. From that point on, he was hooked, and cars, as well as racing became a passion.
This comes across in The Rockford Files, which is why I feel that his car is his partner. What are your thoughts?
