Trivia: Smokey and the Bandit helped popularize what classic car?
Dodge Charger
Pontiac Trans Am
Ford Mustang
Chevrolet Camaro
The correct answer is Pontiac Trans Am
So why is this answer correct? : The 1977 Oscar-nominated film “Smokey and the Bandit” increased the sales of Pontiac Trans Ams around America. Three 1977 Trans Ams were used during filming, all driven by Bo “Bandit” Darville (Burt Reynolds). After the movie came out, sales of the vehicle jumped from 68,745 units to 93,341. Reynolds even received his own Pontiac Trans Am after filming, which he auctioned off in 2022 for just under $500,000.
