Here's one:
The Carvair. Essentially it was a DC-7 with a rebuilt bulbous nose/cockpit section for hauling cars across the English Channel. Its in a scene in "Goldfinger" where Auric Goldfinger is loading his Rolls-Royce aboard for a trip across.
Interestingly enough, the last flying Carvair was based in Fairbanks. It was destroyed last May in a crash at the Nixon Creek mine. Sad to see a piece of history go like that.

I have read that the redesigned Carvair was actually a few knots faster than the original machine even with the odd nose. I guess this was one of the first of the odd sized cargo airplanes. Later we had the Guppy, the Super Guppy and now the Beluga.
