Whitesnake's Jaguars
Tawny Kitaen's fingerprints smudged on these twin 1987 XJ's make them all that much more appealing. Like the Elminator series, these cars made multiple appearances in '80s videos.

The Mirthmobile
It's party time in this sky blue 1976 AMC Pacer with flames on the side! Garth Algar's excellent ride was customized with a licorice dispenser where you'd find the dome light. Assuming the cassette player still works, you might have to bring your own copy of A Night at the Opera.
