'Blues Brothers' - 1974 Dodge Monaco

The 1980 film "The Blues Brothers" tells the story of Jake and Ellwood Blues, musicians who put their old band back together to make money to keep the orphanage where they grew up open. The vehicle they use is a 1974 Dodge Monaco that was once a police cruiser, and it attracts the ire of state troopers, a country and western band, Illinois Nazis and the entire Chicago Police Department.

It's in no sense a classic car, and unless one were customized to look like a disused police cruiser, it is unlikely that anyone would notice the car if they saw it on the street. However, in its incarnation as The Bluesmobile, it is one of the most iconic cars in cinema history.
