TV cars..."You can have only one...which one?"

Semi related:

I remember seeing this in TV Guide before the premier of Knight Rider.

Clearly the General Lee. It might not be the most tasteful, but no denying it's influential (Everybody knows what it is) and with 440s under the hood, it was a real ripper.

Hot Rod Magazine did a General Lee vs. Bandit Trans Am competition a few years back. For comedic content, Smokey & The Bandit won by far. But in a straight up race, the General Lee murdered the Trans Am both on pavement and dirt.

Any TV car? I don't know, I was always kinda partial to the scruffy flat black Road Runner from Jericho (2006). I loved that show, pity it didn't make it. That car had a bunch of cool old cars in it, there was a mid-60s C10, a Nova 4-door, a really bitchin' Jeep Gladiator

Michael Weston's '73 Charger from Burn Notice was a good one too.

Joe Mannix drove a kick ass GTX most of the time, I saw him tool this Toronado 'vert twice. Maybe it was his secretary's....

Anybody who would pic the original batmobile over the General Lee is clearly a firefighter who goes by Woody.

Nah.....I'll take the Power Wagon from Simon and Simon... and crush your silly little T.V. cars!

Guilty.

Also...I should not have used the descriptor "Original" before the name Batmobile, for there is but one true Batmobile.

Lt. Castillo used a black Jalpa in one storyline on Miami Vice. That's the first one that popped in my mind.

But if it could only be one... Grandpa's Drag U-LA from the Munsters.

Does it have to be cars? Because the "Screaming Mimi" from Riptide was the E36 M3.

But I'll settle for Air Wolf.

Blue Thunder would kick AW's butt!

Air Wolf is Mach 1 capable. So, no, it wouldn't.

I have never seen this before...
Good god man, couldn't that tonneau, deck cover be even a little more streamlined?

Are those side pipes?
I like side pipes and I like Toranados but this looks like a bad combination.

These would be at the top of my list for movie cars.

I'll take the rig and the car.

Although I have to give two honorable mentions.

One for this one

And one for this

And here I thought that I was the only one who liked the late B-body Charger. (I ignore the existence of the ones that looked like squashed Wagoneers)

From the OP- Knight Rider for me. I remember sitting in what I thought was "the" car at a car show in the Notre Dame JACC. Cool memory.

Outside of that, it may be this:

I'll take this one. Actually I had one with the same paint job even.

If we're including Big Rigs...

From tv show of the same name:

The '71-'74 Mopar "fuselage styling" as they called it is such an under appreciated design. But these cars do have a growing fan base.

Exactly what I was thinking.

The Drag-u-la lives around here. A friend of mine has driven it a couple of times. It gets looks.
