Growing up we all used to watch TV shows and dream that we had the life that they did. Part of that dream was to have that cool ride that the protagonist drove in the show. We remember cars like the KITT from Knightrider and the Ferrari from Miami Vice and dream that we would one day be able to afford cars like those.

10 1969 Chevrolet Suburban from The Sopranos

HBO has some of the most iconic tv shows of all time. From The Wire to Trueblood, HBO has been doing it for years and has consistently put out hit drama after drama. The Sopranos ran from 1999-2007 and was inescapable; consequently, everybody remembers the 1969 Chevrolet Suburban from the show.

Fans at a Las Vegas auction put up $110,000 for the car in January 2013. This proved how popular the show was that an old car like that would sell for so much. A person can buy a used car like that for lower than $10,000 at this point in time.

Boardwalk Empire is another hit HBO drama that ran from 2010-2014. This show took place during the Depression years in Atlantic City, where prohibition and gambling were taking place. In the show, the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost was owned by Nucky Thompson, the boss of Atlantic City.

7 1966 Batmobile & Batcycle Combo from Batman the TV Series

The Batman TV series wasn't as in-depth and graphically advanced as some of the more recent movies starring the Caped Crusader, but the Batmobile is always going to be a car that people want no matter the era. The show's car is not the destructive machine from The Dark Knight, but it is still pretty stylish.

In this Batman, Adam West played Batman and Burt Ward played Robin. A recreation of the car and the original Batcycle were sold by RM Auctions in Palm Beach, Florida for $170,500. While this car is not technically advanced, it still sold for a high price, showing that a lot of love remains for the Batman TV series.

The Bridge follows two detectives who are from different countries (Denmark and Sweden) that are pitted together to solve mysteries. Sofia Helin portrays Saga Norén, with the polish detective being tasked with investigating a murder that happened on a bridge that links the two countries.

Magnum P.I. ran from 1980-1988. It is about a private investigator from Hawaii named Magnum, played by Tom Selleck. In 2018, a remake starring Jay Hernandez as the new Magnum began to air, although this time he is an ex-Navy SEAL from Afghanistan.

The car sold for $181,500 in 2017. A regular Ferrari Quattrovalvole would cost around $55,000, but this car is special and was originally sold from the hit TV show back in the '80s.

1 1986 Ferrari Testarossa from Miami Vice

Miami Vice was an '80s show that exemplified the culture of the decade. The music, fashion, and sun-soaked Miami lifestyle displayed what it was like to live the high life back in the '80s.

The 1986 Ferrari Testarossa sold for $151,800 in 2017. This car was sold by Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. A regular used Ferrari Testarossa would cost you about $80,000 but this one was used on one of the most popular shows in America of all time.
