Extraordinary classics of the history of the cinema

These starries of the big screen do not receive awards or pose for fashion and society magazines. However, other than actors and directors, many times they are the stars of the film. These classic cars have a personality of their own and a protagonist roll in films that have made history.

Ford Deuce Coupe (1932)

The first one of this top five is the 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe, immortalized in the movie American Graffiti from 1973. This classic deserves all respect, after becoming a collection piece for the lovers of old cars, thanks to director George Lucas. Actually, the band The Beach Boys dedicated a song to it as well as its fourth album, both entitled Little Deuce Coupe.

Another great Ford is the Thunderbird Convertible (1966), possibly the most famous of all after being the protagonist in the super film Thelma and Louise, 1991. This convertible is the star of Ridley Scott's popular road movie, accompanying Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis along their unforgettable adventure.

The third one of this list is the wonderful  Ford Falcon XB (1973), launched in the film Mad Max, 1979. This is no less than the fabulous car driven by Mel Gibson in George Miller's film, a work to worship by the lovers of the futurist western. This great car is a collection piece nowadays.

Of course, in this list we had to mention at least one of the James Bond's classics. The peculiar British secret agent most famous in the history of the cinema, has driven dozens of espectacular cars, but we have chosen the most noticed of all. We are, of course, talking about the magnificent  Lotus Esprit S1 (1976), used in the saga during the film The Spy Who Loved Me, from 1977.

And closing the list the Austin Mini Cooper S (1961). The Mini is much more than a movies car: it is history on four wheels, an authentic icon of its epoch. And so it proved itself to be in the film by
Peter Collinson, The Italian Job, from 1969. This great engine in its sporting version dominated four competitions of the Montecarlo rally between 1964 and 1967.

As you can see, nothing escapes the capacity of these cars to look fantastic on the big screen.
