I decided to change gears all little for this one, mostly due to a few posts elsewhere and a few real life encounters...

For today; periodically factories will put out a vehicle package to tie in with a TV show or movie. We all know the tomato red w/white stripes Torino from Starsky and Hutch, we are all familiar with the '01 Bullitt released as a tribute to the movie of the same name. Did you know that Toyota did a T3 Tundra in conjuntion with that movie? Carroll Shelby is doing the Eleanor replicas of the latset version of Gone in 60 Seconds. The black/gold Trans Ams from the late '70's were out before Smokey and the Bandit, so they wouldn't fit into the description nor would the Nieman- Marcus BMW Z3 or T-Bird that were sold as commemoratives of the appropriate Bond films.
Can you name any other TV/movie tie in cars?
