This thread is dedicated to the types of cars that make the riced-up boy-racers crap their pants in terror. Above is the 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom, with a single tailfin and fastback design 40 years ahead of its time

This 1957 Dodge Custom Royal looked like an hungry monster.

A coating of surface rust and dirt can make any car look scary. This panel van, the star of a well-known horror film, started life as a 1941 Chevy farm truck

If Dracula had an automobile, this is what he'd drive. Besides having an unconventional appearance, the Cord 810 is fast, luxurious and ultra-rare (even modern replicas have a high price-tag)

Which "Jeepers Creepers" film was this from? 2001? 2003? Both?

Here's something even creepier: the Tatra 603 favored by Czechoslovakian Communist Party members and KGB agents

I've never liked the slanted headlights of the later Buicks, but that Plymouth looks like a cool rideCool

Now this is a mean-looking Buick. The boat-tail Riviera wasn't a bad looking car either

I think it's from the first movie. The original truck is currently undergoing restoration:
The Creeper's truck

As i've said before, the Nazis were cruel bastards but they had the coolest stuff in the last war. I may be wrong, but i'm sure this type of bike was used in the motorcycle chase in Indiana Jones 3

I love a challenge. I've poked around a bit and my early findings are leading to:

They were Honda XL 500 S models that were altered for the movie to look like

BMW R75 in the chase.

The one Indy & his dad were riding in was a Dnepr MT-11 (Russian) and made

to look German.

Preliminary findings, I could be off a bit.

This is Hitler's Mercedes 770. It had six wheels for off-road travel and was in production from 1930 until 1943

Mussolini owned a Fiat 2800 similar to this one. Its front end is similar to the Fords of the 1940s

Uncle Joe was an American car enthusiast. His ZIS-110 limo was a clone of a Packard Super 8

The GAZ-12 ZIM was an imposing-looking car, like a Morris Oxford on steroids, though personally i prefer the Chaika, Pobeda or ZIL-111

Check out this 67 El Dorado. It's a pity this beast was only in production for three years

The Oldsmobile Toronado was the sister of the Cadillac above. What did the auto industry replace it with? A succession of slab-sided pimpmobiles
