The Most Iconic and Memorable Movie Cars to Ever Hit the Silver Screen

Little Miss Sunshine 1971 Volkswagen T2 Microbus

To get Olive to her pageant in California, this dysfunctional family jumped in their yellow VW Microbus. Five total were used for filming, only three were functional, though. After winning the SAG Award for best ensemble, Kinnear gave thanks to the iconic unsung costar: "I'd like to thank the engineers at Volkswagen for making a beautiful vehicle back in 1969 that is so comfortable, so safe." Fox Searchlight hosted a special screening of the film in California for VW bus owners, and one of the screen-used buses is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
