Incredible cars

You don't have to be a car expert to name some iconic cars in the history of cinema. For example, the DeLorean DMC-12 from 'Back to the Future' (1985) or the Ford Explorer from 'Jurassic Park' (1993).

TV history

There are some models that get stuck in the audience and society's memories. Something similar happens on TV with cars like the 75 Ford Torino from 'Starsky & Hutch' or the Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am V8 that was Kitt in 'Knight Rider'.

Legendary models

A car can become iconic thanks to just one movie, but to be the most featured car in the history of cinema is a different story. And that's exactly what we're about to show you: Do you know what's the most used car in Hollywood's history?

Ford Crown Victoria

An interesting study carried out by Carwow España has revealed that the Ford Crown Victoria is the car that has appeared the most in the history of Hollywood, a total of 1,019.

US Police
