Illustrations of 50 Famous Cars in just 2 minutes 15 seconds. [slyt]
Unless I'm mistaken, totally missing any cars from Death Race 2000? Some people think that's cute, but to me it's one very large baked potato.

Most of the ones on my list are there, but it's missing this Alfa [video with music] and the most famous car of 1972 [no sound].

Those were neat!
Unfortunately, I had to turn the scrubbing rate down to .5 before I actually had time to read both the names of the movie/TV show and the name of the car before it disappeared. Even that left little time to get more than an impression of the picture itself. It would have been better if this were 50 famous cars in, say, 4 minutes.
Which is oddly the opposite of how I usually feel about this kind of content when presented as a video rather than a slideshow / listicle. I'm usually like 'fercrissakes, I could click through this faster' but this was a little too fast.

Yes, Herodios, the time frame began too late for my (old old) preferences, so the absence of Supercar and My Mother were awful.

Forgot to add the Banana Buggies (1968ish Mobility Unlimited six-wheel drive Amphicars):

Love the peppy take on Gary Numan, but...2 movie Batmobiles and no sign of the original (and best) '66 model? Hmmm...

I'll jump on the "how could you forget this one?" bandwagon.
