Just to cite a few of the top of my head .... no particular order.

74-75 Firebird James Garner, Rockford Files (he actually drove several Esprit models, but this was his first.)

The Batmobile

quote:
The most famous Batmobile in all the land may have started out as a 1955 Ford-Lincoln Futura concept car when “Batman” aired on television, and it still reigns as the most famous car in the world, recognizable around the globe.

Starsky & Hutch 76 Grand Torino

quote:
Starsky may have “owned” the car on the series, but Glaser has said in many interviews he hated the car in real life as it was huge, and terrible to handle at high speeds. One man’s trash is another’s treasure, and this car is living proof of its rise to fame and popularity. If the green Chevrolet Camaro the producers originally wanted had come through there may not have been such a story to tell.

Dukes of Hazzard 1969 Dodge Charger, General Lee

quote:
In 1969, Chrysler manufactured approximately 85,000 Chargers, and there were plenty to be snapped up by producers. Various reports and interviews with Schneider and Wopat have said that between 256 and 351 General Lee’s were created – all modified 1968 or 1969 SE and R/T models — although most were destroyed during the filming of the series. Jones has stated many times that a total of 309 were outfitted with either 318, 383, or 440ci throughout production.

Obligatory Daisy Duke photo ...

quote:
It makes no matter if you were of watching age when the original “Dukes of Hazzard” began airing on television in 1979, the series, characters, the Daisy Duke shorts, and especially the General Lee are famous around the world. In fact, the car received more than half of the show’s fan mail!

There are many more famous autos pictures in this list but three not mentioned that were famous to me back in the day were ...

Simon Templar's 1962 Volvo P1800 driven by a future James Bond, Roger Moore. They sold a ton of these cars thanks to the show. Originally the producers wanted to use a Jaguar but Jaguar said they were too classy to be used in a TV show so ....

Then there was the (what everyone thought was a red) 1960-64 Corvette driven in the TV show Route 66 .... (when the show was in b&w)

quote:
"George Maharis reported in a 1986 Nick at Nite interview that people often ask him about "the red Corvette." According to Maharis, the Corvette was never red. It was light blue the first season, and fawn beige for the second and third seasons. Both colors were chosen to photograph well in black and white, but the show's cinematographer complained that the powder blue car reflected too much light. The Corvette was replaced with a newer model annually by the series' sponsor, General Motors, but the show itself never mentioned or explained this technicality."

And finally, not listed in the link above ...

Sonny Crockett's 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder

quote:
In real life, the cars used on the show were not genuine Daytonas, due to the price (ca. 1980s they were selling for around $100,000-$200,000) and rarity of the genuine Ferraris. The cars used in the show were built around the chassis of a Chevrolet Corvette C3 by Tom McBurnie; the first car, known as Car One, was based on a 1976 Corvette, while the second, known as Car Four, was based on a 1981 model. Both cars had 350hp engines and 3 speed automatic transmissions, the latter of which can be glimpsed in the episode "Junk Love". The replica cars (affectionately known as "McBurnies" after their creator) used fiberglass body panels with a black plexiglass nose section, containing clear panels over the two sets of headlights. Originally the seams of this plexiglass nose, and the bolts holding it in place, were quite obvious, but for the start of season 2 the cars were completely overhauled to give them a much more authentic appearance. This can be most clearly identified from the smoother nose section on both vehicles and the shift from clear panels over the headlights to tinted ones, which sometimes gave the car the appearance of solid headlight covers in some shots. The Ferrari badges, originally mounted on the hood above the plexiglass nose, were moved to their rightful place between the cars' headlights. The interiors were also revamped, and Car One's chrome windshield trim was changed to black to match that of Car Four (this difference in trim is the easiest way to discern which car is on screen during season 1).

Which ones did the list (linked above) or I miss?
