103 cars destroyed in the 1980 film, 104 cars destroyed in Blues Brothers 2000.
Blues Brothers held the record for the most cars smashed until its own sequel deliberately destroyed just one more. For the 1980 film’s main chase, 60 police cars were bought for $400 a piece, and outfitted with reinforced chassis. Most of the cars were unsalvageable by the time filming was over.

Many figures only reference the "big" crash scene
so I don't know how accurate the numbers are for the entire film.
And I guess this figure does not include the damaged stunt doubles.
There were multiple Pintos and 13 different Bluesmobiles.
The movie Junkman held the record of 150 cars in a single film around the same time.
Movie with the most cars destroyed?...
Transformers 3 with 532 cars.
Mostly flood damaged cars that were destined to be scrapped, donated to the film.
I think there should be some sort of distinction between scrap/parked/undriveable cars...as opposed to functional automobiles.
Destroying a parking lot full full of scrap isn't quite the same is it?
