Steve McQueen and his 1956 Jaguar XKSS
Steve McQueen, the iconic actor known for his rugged charm and love for fast cars, owned a 1956 Jaguar XKSS that would become emblematic of his passion for both automobiles and Hollywood glamour.
McQueen acquired the Jaguar XKSS in the late 1950s, cementing his reputation as a bona fide car enthusiast. The XKSS was a rare and coveted sports car, a road-legal version of the legendary D-Type race car. Its sleek design and impressive performance perfectly suited McQueen’s taste for luxury and speed.
The car gained even more notoriety when McQueen featured it in the 1963 film “The Thomas Crown Affair.” In a memorable scene, he drove the XKSS during a thrilling chase, solidifying the car’s status as an icon of coolness and style.
McQueen’s connection with the Jaguar XKSS epitomized his larger-than-life persona, blending his Hollywood image with his genuine love for automobiles. His passion for cars extended beyond the screen; he was an accomplished amateur racer, and his collection included several other iconic vehicles.
Unfortunately, the XKSS met a tragic fate. In 1967, a fire consumed McQueen’s California home, destroying the car along with much of his collection. Despite its untimely demise, the legacy of the 1956 Jaguar XKSS lives on through its association with the “King of Cool” and as a symbol of an era when Hollywood glamour met automotive excellence.
