6. Oldsmobile Delta 88 – Evil Dead
There’s much to love about this classic film, especially the star vehicle. Thanks to its many modifications, like the armor and spinning blades, it quickly became an audience favorite. Plenty of people have fantasized about being behind the wheel of this car in rush hour traffic, because that would be epic on so many levels.
What most people don’t know is that Sam Raimi actually was the owner of this Delta 88. The director had great automotive taste, and was willing to sacrifice his beloved ride to make the movie that much better.
7. Lincoln Continental Mark III – The Car
Set in a small Utah town, the villain of this movie isn’t a horrifying creature but instead a sinister car. The Lincoln has the bad habit of mowing down anyone who’s unfortunate enough to get in its way, all without a driver behind the wheel. Were the filmmakers warning everyone about the peril of self-driving cars long ago?
Both of the original cars used in the film were destroyed. One was rolled and totaled, the other was set on fire and driven over a cliff.
