Default Most Filmed/Photographed Car of All Time?

I don't think there's actually and answer, but I'd like some guesses on which cars people think have been the most filmed / photographed car of all time. Kind of like a "legend" car? Only one pick allowed...and a small reason why you think so. If you can find a picture, put it up on Imageshack, and click the "resize" box to keep it small, and insert the picture!

My first guess would be the Lamborghini Countach



It's always been a poster car on the walls of dreamers and even today, enjoys a great amount of notoriety. And because of the styling - from the extreme wedge shape to the scissor doors and the ridiculous and unusable rearview window - symbolizes the whole exotic car image and probably always will. In 2050, people will still be talking about the Countach...

VW Beetle.

Millions of peoples first car so it was in a lot of photos

And it was a car of 4 or 5 generations, and many movie appearances.

porsche 911.
its been around for over 40 years, and still retains a very sexy/sleek design.

^^ But the Beetle and Corvette have been around far longer than the Porker 911 - and been built in far higher numbers, and appeared in way more films, home movies and pictures..

I'd go for the 911 as well, But when it comes to just one generation of model it might be the 360 modena. There is just so much of everything about this car floating around in the internet.

Also my initial thought when seeing this topic. Some others that come to my mind:
- Ford Model-T
- Citroën Traction Avant
- Citroën 2CV
- Citroën DS
- Ferrari Testarossa
- VW Golf
- Ford F150
- Ford Mustang
- Mini Cooper (the old one)
- Jaguar E-Type
- Yellow Cab's
- Chevy Van

Man...you guys aren't very motivated...where's a picture of your guess? What's up with the list? The point is to make you choose ONE car...and Yellow Cabs are of different makes and models.
