Do You Recognize These Famous CDJR Cars from Film/TV?
The modern cinema features cars so extensively it’s easy to think of them as just props. On the other hand though, certain iconic cars can really enhance a movie-going experience.
There are plenty of famous movie cars that left lasting impressions. Countless people may have watched movies like Jurrasic Park and dreamed of owning a Jeep Wrangler just like the one in the movie.
Whether you’re looking for a newer model or the classic truck itself, many of these cars are available to own! At Sierra Blanca Motors, we have an inventory of new and pre-owned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM (CDJR) vehicles. Now we will get into some of the most famous vehicles from these iconic movies.
Famous Chrysler/Plymouth Car | Christine (1958 Plymouth Fury)
The 1958 Plymouth Fury is one of the most iconic cars from any horror movie, made famous by the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Christine. She’s the only car on this list to have a starring role!
What makes this 1958 Plymouth Fury so classic? The red and white exterior, combined with the classic production year, harkens back to a time many consider the golden age of America.
The movie also highlights the intense joy of restoring a vehicle, a hobby that often finds the most passionate restorers developing a relationship with their pride and joy.
If you love car restoration and classic cars, you’ll love connecting with the experience and the car itself when you watch Christine.
Famous Dodge Cars | The Blues Brothers (1974 Dodge Monaco)
The 1974 Dodge Monaco wasn’t the intended star of The Blues Brothers, but for any car lover, it’s what made the movie a classic. While the silhouette of the car is enough to make any classic car aficionado drool, it’s what’s inside that makes it one of the most famous movie cars.
In the movie, the car jumps an open drawbridge. This highlights the raw power of its 440-cubic-inch engine, which could have as much as 300 horsepower.
You can’t get power like that in today’s cars, especially not for commercial consumption. While that’s ultimately better for safety, we can’t help but admire the 1974 Dodge Monaco in this classic movie.
Famous Jeep SUV | Jurassic Park (1993 Jeep Wrangler)
The 1993 Jeep Wrangler is probably the most famous Jeep vehicle because the original Jurassic Park featured an entire fleet. The filmmakers modified these vehicles with classic red decals to make them unique, and they played a central role in keeping most of the characters alive.
Do you want a Jeep that resembles the fleet from this classic movie? Unfortunately, Jeep never released its own version of the vehicle, probably due to licensing issues. However, you could make your own fairly easily.
The Jeep Wranglers from 1987-1995 are some of the most affordable Jeeps to buy. Mix in some red paint and a special decal, and you have your version of this unique movie Jeep.
Famous RAM Truck | Twister (1995 Dodge RAM 2500)
If you dream of a truck powerful enough to outrun one of mother nature’s most deadly natural disasters, chances are the movie Twister comes to mind. The movie highlighted the rugged, intense capabilities of Dodge’s most popular truck — the RAM 2500.
During the movie, we see it hauling heavy weather equipment in its bed and off-roading in a field to get the best measurements of a tornado. We even see it taking damage that would destroy a normal vehicle, and it keeps on trucking.
The Dodge RAM 2500 does it with the sultry purr of a powerful engine. There’s a reason this truck is one of our most popular models!
