    But this Futurama episode was already done (and purposely copied in the episode) by the 1983 movie about a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. The movie and the possessed car in it was named “Christine”. That’s also a Plymouth fury in the same colors in the Futurama episode.

      The point of the Futurama cars is that they’re AIs/robots with robo-lycanthropy

      And also Bender’s car form was derived from the 1977 horror B-movie The Car, which was a Lincoln Continental modified to have a menacing visage.
