Hollywood TV and movie cars - G. William Krause

While many of our automotive and motorcycle memories are formed by personal experience, an equal - if not greater - portion are the result of our exposure to television and motion pictures. This fun-filled history looks back at some of the most memorable and remarkable cars and motorcycles ever committed to celluloid, as well as the customizers and shops that created them. Colour photography, nostalgic movie stills, and an equally entertaining text examine the Tinseltown careers of photogenic vehicles like Sean Connery's James Bond Aston Martin DB5s and Pierce Brosnan's Bond BMW Z3 Roadster; the '63 VW Beetle used in Disney's "Love Bug" films; Harrison Ford's '55 Chevy, Suzanne Sommers' white T-Bird, and Paul Le Mat's '32 Deuce Coupe in "American Graffiti"; the flying jalopy piloted by Dick Van Dyke in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"; the futuristic vehicles of the sci-fi classic "Bladerunner". Television vehicles featured include the '76 Ford Gran Torino from "Starsky and Hutch"; the '69 Dodge Chargers collectively known as the "General Lee" in "The Dukes of Hazzard"; the customized '67 GTO in "The Monkees"; "The Partridge Family" bus; and much more.
