Legendary Celebrities & Stars Who Drive Dream Cars We Wish We Could Afford
Clint Eastwood – $30K, GMC Typhoon
Clint Eastwood put the mystery to rest, about what set of wheels he drives, during a 2016 interview. Eastwood graced The Tonight Show and told Jimmy Fallon that he doesn’t have an exotic sporty edition but rather a functional limited-edition GMC Typhoon that he drives himself.
Even more impressive, he’s owned the whip for more than two decades! The vehicle cost him a reported $30K, and it reaches 60 miles per hour in just about 5.6 seconds with the help of a turbocharged V6 engine. Eastwood is all set to produce, direct and star in the 2021 neo-western film Cry, Macho.
Dolly Parton – Price Undisclosed, 1997 Cadillac
Dolly Parton has always had an affinity for Cadillacs, and her favorite was the 1997 Cadillac D’Elegance. She drove the vehicle for more than a decade before signing it over to the Hollywood Stars Car Museum in 2008. She traded up and got a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid.
Parton is also known to spread generosity, and she’s gifted her mother Cadillacs too. However, Parton doesn’t want to go up on a pedestal for anything she does. She shared the same sentiments when a 2021 proposal made by the Tennessee legislature sought to put up a statue in her likeness.
Rowan Atkinson – $12.2 Million, McLaren F1
Rowan Atkinson is almost synonymous with the comedic character he popularized, Mr. Bean. However, unlike Mr. Bean, who rolls around in a green-colored Leyland Mini 1000, Atkinson loves his vehicles, and he once owned a McLaren F1. He got a cool $12.2 million from the sale.
Despite crashing the F1 twice, Atkinson still made an impressive $8 million profit, considering he bought the vehicle in 1997. Early in 2021, Atkinson vocalized his disapproval of the cancel culture (call-out culture,) which he likened to medieval mobs. He said that we should embrace wide spectrums of opinion.
Ron Howard – $20K, Fiat 500
Ron Howard produced the upcoming documentary about Julia Child, and seemingly he drove to the set in a Fiat 500. Howard took to Twitter in 2013, raving about the micro vehicle, saying that he test drove the Fiat 500e, and it was a fun experience.
Howard also said that the vehicle is user-friendly, and he thanked Fiat for making what he described as a “keeper.” One of these mini vehicles can set you back by an estimated $20K. Howard admitted to Forbes in 2012 that he isn’t really into automobiles, and he’s been rolling around in a white 1970 Volkswagen Bug.
