Cars from eighties films and TV series

Not a montage this time, but a single shot showing all the film and TV series vehicles and figures I've built so far.

 

I still intend to do build Airwolf, Magnum PI's Ferrari, and perhaps the CHiPs motorcycles and the pickup truck used in The Fall Guy. I'm currently also working on two vehicles to bridge the gap between this film and TV-series theme and my collection of British vehicles, by building the Jag mk2 used in Inspector Morse and, possibly, Mr. Bean's Mini.

 

I'd like to think they're recognisable, but for those of you who weren't around in the Eighties (or have been living under a rock), the cars are from left to right: The GMC Vandura from the A-Team, the Ferrari Testarossa from Miamy Vice, the General Lee (a Dodge Charger) from The Dukes of Hazzard, the Bluesmobile (1974 Dodge Monaco) from Blues Brothers, the DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future, Ecto-1 (a 59 Cadillac ambulance/hearse conversion) from Ghostbusters and, finally, K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider.
