In the late 1990s, a weekly police drama entitled Nash Bridges revived the struggling career of former Miami Vice star Don Johnson. Each week, viewers would tune in to watch the antics of wisecracking San Francisco Inspector Nash Bridges (Johnson) and his long-suffering partner, Joe Dominguez...

The Avengers is a soon-to-be-blockbuster movie about a group of fictitious-yet-realistically-dysfunctional superheros. The Acura NSX Roadster, for the moment at least, remains as fictitious as the Avengers' Iron Man, Tony Stark (whose character, incidentally, was patterned on Tesla’s Elon...

Bond's Aston Martin DB5 returns for an appearance in the upcoming film 'Skyfall,' making it the fifth Bond film to include the iconic coupe.

To honor the 50th anniversary of the first James Bond film, Britain's National Motor Museum is running an exhibit titled "Bond In Motion."

Almost every one of a certain age, and even some youngsters we’re betting, will remember and cherish the "Back to the Future" trilogy starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. But perhaps it’s not so much the actors that people remember most but another star of the series, the...

The 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show is nearly upon, it’s just two weeks away to be exact, and in the lead up to the annual event entries for the show’s accompanying Design Challenge have hit the Web. Each year for the past eight years, a new theme for the Design Challenge is chosen and then...

If you've got a passion for movie cars and a bank account that's in the black, you might be interested in a handful of auctions taking place this week and next. On the blocks: replicas of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Batmobile, plus the original -- and only -- Pink Panther "Panthermobile". You...

This year's LA Auto Show Design Challenge is asking designers to make more than just great concepts; it's asking them to make movie stars.

If you've seen the 1978 movie Grease, you know Greased Lightning. It's car that John Travolta and his pals restore over the course of a rousing musical number and turn into a...well, we won't use the term from the song, we'll just call it a "chick magnet". One of the rides used during the filming...

The movie may have been before your time -- way before your time -- but chances are pretty good that you can hum a few bars from the theme song of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The popular 1968 musical featured Dick Van Dyke, Benny Hill, and an Edwardian-styled car that also served as a boat and an...

Good news: At a time when corporate marketing budgets are merely a shadow of what they once were, Ford will get a free ride in the new film, The Lincoln Lawyer. A Lincoln spokesman says that the company didn't spend a dime on product placement for the movie. Bad news: The Lincoln Lawyer features...

At last count, there were at least five reasons to love the internet: 1. [REDACTED] 2. Cat videos. 3. The Oatmeal. 4. The lovely and talented High Gear Media family. 5. The opportunity it provides crazy obsessive people to show off their handiwork. And in service of #5 comes news that graphic...

Between the shortened holiday weekend and the lingering afterglow of the Detroit Auto Show, we haven't had gobs of time (or energy) to follow up on most of the items in the Celebs And Cars inbox -- at least not in detail. And so, in flippant Friday fashion, we present a quick rundown of the major...

Looking for some nifty car art but can't make it to Miami this weekend? No problem -- well, not as long as you live in Los Angeles. The Petersen Automotive Museum has just put a beautiful, sleek, thoroughly tricked-out Chrysler Imperial on display. And this isn't just any Imperial (as if there were...

You have no idea how much we love the holidays. Not because of the mini-vacation, or the change in weather, or the turducken -- though those are nice, of course -- but because of the dazzling array of movies on view. From Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve, at cineplexes across America, studios...

In January of 2011, Sony will release The Green Hornet, starring a leaner, meaner Seth Rogen and one very fine Chrysler Imperial that is not so different from the one that Jon Hamm drove on Mad Men, except Seth's has guns. Big ones. If you're familiar with the Green Hornet storyline, you know...

As you might've heard, there's going to be a third Transformers film. Megan Fox isn't involved. Michael Bay is. We've already begun stockpiling tomatoes. The shoot for Transformers III: Lube Job (or whatever they're calling it) hasn't been going all that great. You might recall last month's tragic...

The A-Team opens on June 11, and just to make sure that its target audience of 35 - 50-year-old men (aka, The People Old Enough to Remember Mr. T) know the film is en route, several of the cast appeared on the racetrack in Charlotte over the Memorial Day weekend to make a lap before the NASCAR...

We give up. We asked Hollywood to give us something interesting for this holiday Friday, something that might tide you over until we return on Tuesday, and what did we get? Bupkis, that's what. Zip. Zero. Zilch. (Okay, there was this photo of Simon Monjack, husband of the late Brittany Murphy...

You know, we could do with a break from supercars -- particularly the Audi R8. Between Audi's well-caffeinated publicity team and the battalion of PR warriors manning the barricades at Paramount Pictures, we can't turn on a freakin' toaster without seeing an ad for Iron Man 2 or its sleek, cabrio...
