I have always been a huge fan of cool cars and chase screens in TV and movies since I seen the movie "Thunder Road" back in 1960. I started a collection way back with the Johnny Lightning Hollywood on Wheels series back in the 90s sometime. It has grown a great deal and I have built a little 1/64th TV & Movie Car Museum. Many other brands have joined the Hollywood sceen and released quite a few very nice castings. and created a Hollywood wall to display the ones I kept carded due to the card art.

I have been trying to photograph every Star Car I have in my collection and label them on photo editor, that has proven to be more time consuming than I ever thought. There are allot of nicely detailed Hollywood Star Cars out there. Here's a portion of what I have together so far.

Star Cars #2

I did a You~Tube vido awhile back to share also.

Impressive collection. How about the James Bond Aston-Martin DB5? Did I miss seeing it in your collection?

There definitelyvwere a lot of great Hollywood movie and TV cars over the years ! This is a remarkable collection here.

I remember a special "Bonanza" TV show which featured the show's stars introducing the brand new Chevrolet automobiles for the new model year.

I used to have a book (which I still might have around somewhere) that was titled "Cars of the Stars" and had photographs of many Hollywood stars with their cars.

@grockwood A great collection you have also. Love the Blues Brother cars and the Smokey and the Bandit cop car. Those have escaped me for years...

Lots of great cars from the movies. Many more possibilities. Whenever I see a movie I think about the cars used.
