What are the most iconic / famous / coolest cars of all time?

[SFFMunkee]

I'm starting to put my life back together after a messy divorce, and I'm a car nerd, so I've decided to start building a little display cabinet for model cars. I don't have ANY yet.

Thinking about what are the most iconic / coolest cars of all time (be it in films or TV, history, racing, rally, video games, whatever), I've put maybe 70 vehicles in my 'wish list' so far (in no particular order), but I want to hear what everyone else would include!

Let me know!

Another one is the niva

 

[steelfractal]

the 3 Lancia's and the group b cars like the 6r4 and some of the older skoda's

I think I'll have to add in to Historic / Iconic cars:

• Ford Model T
• Citröen 2CV

Regarding TV/Movie cars I'm sure I've missed a lot but I was putting the ones that were 'special' or at least memorable for me.
Knightrider, Miami Vice, Magnum PI etc. were all a bit before my time but would be considered iconic on-screen cars!
