Top 10 Movie Car Chases - from Auto Blog

Hagerty Insurance (known for their coverage of collector cars)
recently asked its customers to rank the top 10 movie car chases
of all time. Topping the list was “Bullitt”, which is a choice
that’s appropriate if for no other reason than the wicked sound
of Steve McQueen’s Mustang (the fact that McQueen was Hollywood’s
biggest gearhead should also be considered). It won a whopping
40% of total votes cast, giving it a significant lead over the
number two selection, the remake of “Gone in 60 Seconds”. “The
French Connection” and “Ronin” placed only sixth and seventh,
respectively, leading me to wonder just how many second-generation
Trans Am owners are insured by Hagerty (”Smokey and the Bandit” ranked third).
