This iconic 1974 Dodge Monaco is known as the “Bluesmobile” made famous in the major motion filmThe Blues Brothers. Co-writer and lead actor Dan Ackroyd admitted he chose this 440 Dodge Monaco model because he “considered it to be the hottest car used by police during the 1970s.”

Aside from Tony Stark’s impressive weaponized robots, was his impressive ride, the Audi R8. The sports car was featured in Marvel’s Iron Man and Iron Man 2. The third installment of the blockbuster franchise featured an electric version of the R8.
