Does the sound of a revving engine make you eagerly turn your head to look? If that sounds like you, feed your need for speed with a glimpse of the most interesting automobiles that have featured on our CBC shows.
Buckle up as we scroll through a list of our most fascinating rides.
1. The Pendrick Bullet and vintage cars (Murdoch Mysteries)
The Pendrick Bullet is an electric car that featured on Murdoch Mysteries in Season 5. It was specifically designed and built for the episode "Who Killed the Electric Carriage?". Go behind the scenes to catch a glimpse of how this intriguing ride was designed and created.
Yannick Bisson, who plays Detective William Murdoch, loves Porsches. He has teamed up with Mantella Sport to build a custom made Porsche. Watch him build his dream machine!
2. Ford Model T (Frankie Drake Mysteries)
The producers of Frankie Drake Mysteries sure take their cars seriously. They bought a Ford Model T — also known as the Tin Lizzie, T-Model Ford or T — to compliment the era that the series is set in. The T was known to be the most affordable car to the middle class at the time. Just the right kind of ride when you're out on the murder-solving trail!
3. 1957 GMC Blue Chip 9300 (Heartland)
This ride is as rugged and as much of a looker as its owner, Ty Borden (Graham Wardle)! The truck first featured on the pilot episode of Heartland in 2006 and has since then been a member of the ranch.
4. 1968 Pontiac GTO (Republic of Doyle)
This über-cool car is also one of the key characters on Republic of Doyle. The GTO rode along as a perfect companion to the Jake Doyle (Allan Hawco) throughout the series. Here's an interesting fact about the beginnings of Jake's GTO!
5. 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car (Schitt's Creek)
When the Roses of Schitt's Creek decided to buy a car, they went all out! To compliment their larger-than-life charisma, they chose a Lincoln Continental that's as massive as their lost fortune. Interestingly, the Lincoln Continental Town Car was one of the last huge American sedans made!
Watch the Roses take their new ride out for a spin only on this episode of Schitt's Creek.
6. Fargo van and a bevy of Pontiacs (Fortunate Son)
The fleet of cars that features on CBC's latest drama series Fortunate Son is sure to win the eyes and interest of every car enthusiast. Set in the late '60s, this spy drama showcases the coolest rides of that era. The Fargo van is just one set of classic wheels to watch out for!
