if you need to get from point A to point
B there’s a good chance you or someone
you know has used one of these vehicles
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
taking a look at ten of the most iconic
cars that’s all
the 1910s Ford model-t kicking off our
list is the car that finally gave horses
a break Henry Ford’s Model T was the
first affordable car the first
mass-produced car and the car that made
traveling longer distances possible for
the middle class
it looks dated now but the Model T was
futuristic for the time yes even with
its hand powered starter crank and
fairly ineffective brakes the 1920s Ford
four-door sedan by the start of the
1920s the Ford Motor Company was
producing over 1 million cars a year way
more than the competition
Ford’s 1926 line was labeled the
improved Ford but the link to the Model
T was obvious in this four-door sedan
aside from important changes under the
hood the 26 models had thicker tires for
more stability a fully enclosed cab and
gasp windows the 1930s
Plymouth 4-door sedan while the Great
Depression raged on plymouth sold like
hotcakes thanks to their reasonable
prices referred to as a value car the
1936 Ford or Plymouth sedan was an all
new design from the previous year with a
less boxy more elegant and completely
streamlined look available with or
without a built-in trunk the car had a
number of unique and still luxurious
details including the characteristic
1930s tires the 1940s Plymouth PT 105
everyone was starting to build trucks by
the 1940s and Chrysler’s plymouth brand
took their cues from similar-looking
dodges to build their pt 105 pickup in
fact it was practically identical save a
few external details though Plymouth
quickly got out of the pickup truck biz
the 105 stands as a prime example of the
era’s pickups complete with chrome
detailing and side mounted spare tire
the 1950s Cadillac Eldorado which car
best represents the fabulous 50s gotta
be a Cadillac as suburban life blossomed
families needed a ride to go along with
their newfound post-war affluence and
the caddy was a symbol of all that with
fins grills and futuristic details to
match top-of-the-line pricey and solid
the Eldorado is a classic
the 1960s Ford Shelby Mustang ain’t she
a beaut
chrome trim racing stripes plus a
classic oversized grille complete with
center mounted headlights are just some
examples of the 67 Shelby Mustangs showy
styling while most purists prefer the
earlier models it was the 67 that gave
drivers something special under the hood
you ever find yourself in a 60s style
drag race better hope you’re behind the
wheel of a Shelby Mustang the 1970s
Pontiac trans-am blending styles
strength and the spirit of the 70s this
sexy muscle car was one of the few
exciting models in an era of bland bland
and more bland while most car makers
reduced horsepower due to the gas crisis
Pontiac actually increased the power of
the 78 incarnation making it a faster
and better handling ride than most of
its competition plus Burt Reynolds made
this car even cooler does this thing
move oh yeah
the 1980s the Honda Accord the polar
opposite of a hot Trans Am
probably in 1982 Honda Accord a sensible
family car the 82 accord was a revamped
version of an already successful model
roomier more stylish fuel-efficient and
smooth the Accord was the car that
confirmed the shortcomings of Detroit’s
output and foreshadowed the popularity
of Japanese designs it’s not
particularly glamorous but it’s still
popular decades later for a reason the
1990s Mazda Miata
who doesn’t love pop-up headlights
though often labeled a chick car this
convertible started its days as one of
the most accessible and affordable
sports cars on the market and this
sporty as hell two-seater ride
exemplified the flashy self-centered 90s
small sexy and a scream to drive its
repeatedly described as a juiced-up
go-kart though it is surprisingly
reliable the 2000s Mini Cooper small but
spacious sporty but sensible trendy but
traditional the minis debut was
groundbreaking thanks to its equally
mini price tag the price may have
changed but it still comes in just
behind the Model T as one of the 20th
century’s most influential cars
fun funky and far from frivolous the
mini made it splash in the 2000s by
becoming a priceless part of pop culture
I win these are just some of the most
iconic cars in history which is your
