We're all car enthusiasts, so the cars in TV shows and movies tend to stand out to us. Sometimes the cars made the show, sometimes the show made the car. Either way, let's see who has a sharp eye and keen memory.
Whoever correctly identifies the show or movie the car is from should post up a new car to be identified.
Coupe deVille from What's Up Doc? Driven by the random guy whom the man after the government files recruits to join the chase. There's also a Fleetwood 75 involved in the chase. Funny I just watched that movie a couple weeks ago.
Also the pics I previously posted, the first one was Jack Nicholson's 1994(?) Roadmaster in the Departed which someone guessed, and the second was a '73 Fleetwood that takes Henry Hill to jail in Goodfellas.

What's Up, Doc? is my all-time favorite movie, and after Bullitt, this is probably my second favorite car chase.
Can't seem to find the full chase in one file, but he's the first part with the hilarious gag of all three cars crashing into the VW Bus:
This has highlights from the whole movie, which includes the rather unfortunate fate of that gorgeous DeVille. But it does go out with a bang (and a blast of the trumpet horn):

After Eleanor in Gone in 60 Seconds, I think this poor little Valiant take the biggest beating in a car chase:
I love that movie too. The guy with the Coupe de Ville had no problem joining in on the chase lol. My favorite line from the court scene "I want my bike back!"... "I'll give you your bike back, I'll give you a broken back."
The Valiant in Spielberg's Duel also takes a hell of a beating.
The judge was hilarious. "You made me smash my Lifesavers." And Madeline Kahn steals every scene she's in. "I am not a Eunice Burns, I am the Eunice Burns!"
Lol. She was hilarious. The morning after the fire in the hotel when the guy stealing the files wakes up to her screaming from the other room makes me laugh every time. Like the catastrophy the other night wasn't enough. Oh and yes, that Coupe is beastly. I was sad to see it get destroyed but it was a really funny chase. The guy's VW bus had no chance.
Duel was one of my favorite movies to watch while I was growing up. The car they picked was perfect, and I love how the bright orange color is so conspicuous.
I was going to post that Mustang a few days ago lol. I just watched Misery for the first time in years last weekend. Love the song in the beginning when he's driving down the hill.
Someone mentioned "Cannon." He had a new Mark IV every year of filming save for the last, 1976 where he had a Mark for half the season before replacing it with a gorgeous Bordeaux 76 Thunderbird. There were few chase scenes on Cannon, but the ones that were there were quite memorable - something about that big block Ford torque - well, that and nearly 3 tons of weight not including Mr. Conrad who was no lightweight himself.
I am surprised no one got this one, it is the '58 Cadillac convertible that Paul Newman drove (I think it was actually his sugar momma's car) in the the movie "Hud."
