America’s love of the automobile, and the infatuation with the iconic styling and performance American cars have historically embodied has never been more prevalent than in the movies of the 1960s to the 1980s. With epic car chases, crashes, jumps, and even cars and trucks in starring roles, Hollywood absolutely embraced cars as part of the cast of characters. And to this day, even after a bit of a lull, car related movies thrive. One of the biggest franchises in movie history, the Fast and Furious movies, revolve around cars in every scene.
