For a lot of us, our first favourite car was an animated one. Let\u2019s take a trip down memory lane and go through six of the most popular cars featured in animated movies and cartoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo, Where are You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"animated](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/10075453\/top-5-animated-movie-cars-Body-a-100520221250-1024x640.jpg\")
Kids watching the animated series think of The Mystery Machine as a great adventure truck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nReleased in 1969, this cartoon series was on TV until 1978. For all these years and even later, kids watching the cartoon on TV thought of the Mystery Machine (the van used in the cartoon) as a great adventure truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The van had bright paint, groovy emblems and flowered wheels. Each side of this vehicle had a painted green panel with the words \u201cTHE MYSTERY MACHINE\u201d painted in orange. That\u2019s an iconic look copied by thousands of fans across the world. Later on, in the animated film released between 1998 and 2001, the Mystery Machine had a striking resemblance to the Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are a Chevrolet fan, here is a list of used Chevrolets for sale in the UAE<\/a>. Whereas, if you are someone who prefers driving GMC vehicles, take a look at these used GMC cars for sale in the UAE<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLightning McQueen from Cars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Lightning](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/10075330\/top-5-animated-movie-cars-Body-b-100520221250-1024x640.jpg\")
The real-life version of the fictional Lightning McQueen is Corvette C6 and Corvette C1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nLightning McQueen is the talking car with eyes featured in Pixar\u2019s famous animated movie, Cars<\/em> released in 2006. The sequel to the animated movie, Cars 2<\/em> was released in 2011 and third instalment, Cars 3<\/em> was released in 2017. The car is named after Pixar animator Glenn McQueen and the animated film is based on Toyota NASCAR<\/a> vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLightning McQueen was really impressive from a merchandising standpoint. From pajamas to bed sheets and wall stickers to miniatures, in the shape of inflated balloons and stuffed toys, everything had a Lightning McQueen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To put it simply Lightning McQueen featured in Cars<\/em> is a winner when it comes to car-based marketing for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe animated car in the cartoon is said to have taken design inspiration from Corvette C6 and Corvette C1. C6 happened in the sixth generation of Corvette sports cars. It was in production between 2004 and 2013 as the first Corvette featuring exposed headlamps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Space Car, The Jetsons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"animated](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/10075601\/top-5-animated-movie-cars-Body-c-100520221250-1024x640.jpg\")

Though flying cars are still far from reality, we had this imaginary concept, thanks to the Space Car from Jetsons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe series produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1962, was pretty futuristic. The cartoon was made at a time when the technology to develop flying cars was unimaginable. But the makers of The Jetsons<\/em> made its viewers believe in a concept that is well being worked on these days. The Jetsons’ flying car, also known as the Space Car, took design inspiration from the FX-Atmos, a 1954 Ford concept car<\/a>. Prominent features of this car were a radar screen on the dashboard, an all-glass bubble cover and tail fins resembling the fins of a jet plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, naturally one cannot buy a flying car, for that we may have to wait a few decades, but here is a list of used Ford cars for sale in the UAE<\/a> for all the Ford enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLiving in the future, Jetson used to commute to work in this aerocar resembling a flying saucer with an all-transparent bubble top. The dream that Jetsons made us see as children is being worked on with many prototypes and future cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mach 5 in this series was capable of leaping in the air, boosting the car to be repaired, and had special tyres that were capable of adapting to any kind of terrain with just a push of a button. It also had powerful rotating protruding saws at the front to remove obstacles in its way. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is truly amazing to see how many of such features we actually see in actual cars or at least prototypes released today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Real](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/10075810\/top-5-animated-movie-cars-Body-e-100520221250-1024x640.jpg\")

That is a long long time, that is why children from the age of televisions, who must be in their 30s by now clearly remember the Flintstone Mobile. The primitive human-powered car driven by Fred Flintstone was all open, it had no doors, the body was a log-framed phaeton that had no car suspension<\/a> and ran on huge stone steamroller wheels that couldn\u2019t possibly be steered. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe car was powered by Fred\u2019s two feet, that is why it is also called the “Foot Mobile”. Even though The Flintstone Mobile was far from reality and it did not resemble any actual cars, all those who\u2019ve watched the cartoon series clearly remember this one of a kind car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
