The appearance of a particular vehicle can be as impactful as a specific actor\u2019s performance; this is why a 1967 Mustang named Eleanor is as heavily credited for its appearance in 2001\u2019s Gone in 60 Seconds as Nicholas Cage. <\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">Certain cars can invoke memories that come as a result of their appearance in a film, but while you may not be getting into the same kind of high-speed situations as those of John Wick or the protagonists in the Fast and the Furious films, you can own their cars. <\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">Bonhams is facilitating a no-reserve online auction on its website from November 21 to 28, featuring more than 50 vehicles and motorcycles from famous movies and TV series, as well as 19 pieces of related automotive collectibles.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">The various lots are being offered through the auction house on behalf of Movie Cars Central Museum, a museum in \u00c9tr\u00e9chy, France (about 45 minutes from Paris) that specializes in pop culture memorabilia. In a statement, museum curator and YouTuber Franck Gali\u00e8gue noted that the time has come to part with these specific vehicles, which he hopes will continue to be appreciated by other movie lovers.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">\u201cThis museum has been an incredible adventure, but the time has come to move on to new automotive projects. I have spent many years collecting these cars and have had the pleasure of sharing them with enthusiasts from all over Europe,\u201d he said. \u201cNow it is time to pass them on to film lovers who will take up the baton and continue to keep these witnesses to mechanical and cinematic history alive.
