1992 Peterbilt 379
Needless to say, Optimus Prime is the most famous character from the Transformers series. He transforms from a huge 1992 Peterbilt 379 stunt truck. Built in 1992, it is now located in an auction lot in Barrett-Jackson where it is valued at more than $121K. Fans of the series thought that the model was a controversial choice. Michael Bay, the director of the films, picked the blue-and-red truck as the vehicle despite all the criticism. He was ready for the backlash, but the stunt truck managed to win over viewers in the end. Here is a fun fact for all of you – Bay picked the truck as a homage of sorts to the 1971 Spielberg film called Duel.

1912 Rolls-Royce 40/50HP Open Drive Landaulette
The award-winning film My Fair Lady came out in 1964. One of the most striking visuals of the film would be the 1912 Rolls Royce Landaulette with its coachwork designed by Muhlbacher in Paris. The car is now in the Bothwell Collection at Bonhams. The car from the classic movie boasts of 50 hp at 1,500 RPM, a 6-cylinder L-head inline engine, and a 4-wheel leaf spring suspension. Valued at $550K, it was designed by none other than Henry Royce himself. He paid a lot of attention to the details that went into this car, and the film crew copied the designs down to a tee.
