5 Of The Coolest Cars In 1980s Music VideosIf the 1980s were known for two things, it was slick cars and big hair — two elements that feature prominently in a multitude of the era's greatest music videos. Whether a video was telling a story of adventurers out on the highway, partygoers off to their next shindig, or just good old-fashioned drag racing, many of them were accompanied by a classic car.Some of the cars used in these classic music videos have become legends in their own right, earning just as much remembrance and respect as the videos themselves. When someone asks you, "Hey do you remember that awesome music video?," you're obligated to say, "The one with the awesome car? Of course I remember!" Considering the vast array of excellent rides featured in equally superb music videos throughout the '80s, it's a little difficult to pin down the objectively coolest ones, but there are a few that immediately spring to mind, whether you were around for the era in question or just love your classic music.ZZ Top, Gimme All Your Lovin' - 1933 Ford Eliminator CoupeZZ Top was truly that band that made massive beards cool, with classic tracks like "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs" winning the hearts and minds of the MTV generation. A major contributor to the band's enduring image, however, was its fondness for supremely cool cars, made clear to all onlookers with the fiery red car printed proudly on the cover of their eighth studio album, "Eliminator."That car would make its first appearance in the album's first track, "Gimme All Your Lovin," the video of which showed a trio of women behind the wheel blazing down the dusty highway, the yellow and black Zs from the band's name proudly shining on the side. This car was actually the property of ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons, who customized it from a stock 1933 Ford Coupe.This wasn't just a show car; the Eliminator Coupe was a full-on hot rod, and the band took it for a spin across Sunset Boulevard after filming wrapped for "Gimme All Your Lovin." The original car was on display at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame until 2020, when Gibbons reclaimed ownership of it. The vehicle now maintains a place of honor in his personal collection.Whitesnake, Here I Go Again - 1986 Jaguar XJ"Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake has quite possibly one of the most iconic car-related music videos ever produced. But unlike some of the other cars we've covered here, the pair of black-and-white 1986 Jaguar XJs featured in this video don't actually drive around that much, nor is there any particular storyline associated with them. They just sit there and look pretty, all while the late Tawny Kitaen dances and poses atop them. When you've got cars that cool, though, a storyline isn't really that important. Just show the ride and the cool poses you can do on top of it, and the fans come flocking.The two Jaguar XJs are the property of Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale, who has kept them in a climate-controlled garage ever since their appearance in "Here I Go Again." The only time either of these cars ever left their protective home was in 2019 when the white Jaguar XJ made an appearance for the music video o "Shut Up & Kiss Me." The video depicts Coverdale showing up in the car for a gig at a club, while fans outside the venue take pictures of themselves posing on and around the car like Kitaen did.
