15 Classic and Iconic Cars You Have to Know
Even people who don't like cars still agree that some cars are just special. Some cars are so beautiful and unique that you just can't take your eyes off them. The motoring world as we know it today would not have been the same if it wasn't for some of these iconic and incredible cars. They are the classics, the ground-breakers and the movie cars we grew up worshiping.Ford Model T

The T wasn't the first automobile ever, but it still has its place in the history books. It is generally regarded as the first mass-produced car ever made, the car that opened travel to the average American. Without the popularity of the Model T by Henry Ford, who knows if we would have the other cars on this list?Ford Mustang

Few cars fit the description of "American Muscle" better than the Mustang. You don't get to become Steve McQueen's car for no good reason.Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

This was the car everyone dreamed of when it first came out in 1967, and it was one that they could afford. The firebird hood painting took this car to its own level of iconic beauty, and being the star of shows like Knight Rider didn't do any harm either.Volkswagen Beetle

The little beetle is perhaps the most recognizable car in the world. Also known as the Bug, it was made by German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003.DeLorean DMC-12

The one and only car ever made by the DeLorean Motor Company, the DMC-12 is simply known as The DeLorean. While it was really a rather bad and unreliable sports car, no one can argue that it looked just amazing. With its gull-wing doors and a fiberglass "underbody", there is no wonder this car become the icon of the "Back to the Future" film trilogy.Aston Martin Vanquish

Aston Martin will always be the definitive "Bond Car", due to its many appearances in the famous 007 film series. While it's true that he has driven some other cars over the years, this car brand and this particular model will always have a place in my car-loving heart.Mini Cooper

The British icon from the 1960s, the Mini, was actually an award-winning rally car despite its small appearance. Over the years, it has been the star of many car chases in films and TV shows, that wanted a small car that performs like the big boys.The Batmobile

Since 1925 and until today, few cars have more class and style than the Phantom. It is made in the United Kingdom and many consider it the most perfect saloon car in the whole world.Bugatti Veyron

The Concorde of the motor world, the Veyron is the meeting point for the most incredible numbers and design features any car lover can dream of. If you have never heard of this car before, then you have missed out on one of the best cars ever made.Ferrari F50

It's hard to say which Ferrari is the best looking one but the F50 is a true thing of beauty if you ask me. Only 349 were made, and yet millions of them decorated the bedrooms of little boys all over the world.Dodge Viper

My personal favorite. First released in 1992, it immediately gained popularity for its stunning and aggressive look.Porsche 911
