Most people are aware of the love that Jay Leno has for his classic cars, and George Clooney also has a famous collection, but there is one actress out there who has an affinity for automobiles that might surprise some people. Amber Heard, best known for her roles in Pineapple Express and the short-lived NBC series The Playboy Club, recently told USA Today that one of her most prized possessions is her 1968 Ford Mustang.
"Some people have pictures of their dog," she told the publication about her ride. "But here's my baby."
In the upcoming film The Rum Diary, Heard gets to ride alongside star Johnny Depp in a classic Corvette (which was eventually gifted to Depp after filming ended), and it would not go too far surmise that it is one of her favorite scenes.
Though her current favorite car is the '68 Mustang, she is no stranger to driving classic vehicles. In fact, she used to drive a Checker Cab for a spell, and was also behind the wheel of a 1962 Mercedes – and she doesn't plan on change her attitude toward cars anytime soon.
"It has to be vintage," she told the publication's Drive On blog. "There's a grace to things that come from that period."
