CAN A CAR BE EVIL?
Like people, certain cars have a sinister look about them, especially in dark colours. Some cars have been typecast for large and small screens, while others just look evil without any help from mass media. Driveway Canada’s Jonathan Stein looks at a handful of production cars that could scatter children and make law-abiding citizens run for their lives. 1957 Plymouth Fury (below): This car would look threatening and scary even if it hadn’t been immortalized in Stephen King’s Christine as the embodiment of evil. Very few cars look scarier than a Facel Vega HK 500 — in black. I’ll never forget the last time I saw a somewhat questionable — and now departed — car dealer. He was moving a black Facel Vega and it had a powerful burble and looked ready to spirit him away from a bank job or armoured-car heist.
1959-1966 Jaguar Mk II (left): This car has been cast repeatedly as the villain’s ride in all manner of British television and movies, though its menace is largely due to expectation rather than appearance.
1968-1972 Corvette Stingray (above): Talk about a car that looks badass; few cars top a black Stingray with chrome bumpers. 1935 Cord 810 Beverly or Westchester (right): Sleek and low for its era with that coffin nose, few cars have more of an air of threat about them. To me, the chrome pipes of the 812 take away a lot of the menace.
