These are the vehicles, mostly cars, that the main characters drive in the cartoon
atleast once. It seems that pretty much all of the main characters have a driver's
license.
Rockin' Roadster
The roadster was a gift from Emmett Benton. Jerrica, Kimber, Aja and Shana found it in
the Starlight Drive-in. When they first see the
Rockin' Roadster it already says "Jem" on the hood ornament. One could argue
that this is where Jerrica gets the idea for the name, since she comes up with idea of
"Jem" some seconds after seeing the car. Aja who loves cars and motorcycles, is the resident
chauffeur for Starlight Mansion, and is often seen driving the roadster, already in the Jem
cartoon intro infact. Other characters
who have driven it include Jem/Jerrica, Kimber, Shana and even Pizzazz and Eric.
Was based on a toy released in the doll line in 1986. Compare with
Hasbro's artwork and
the Roadster in the comics.
With roof
This is a rare sight, although the toy version did have a removable roof, but it
was pink.
|
From above
|
From behind
The spare tire, or it's cover, is completely green. The roadster has a red license plate.
|
From behind 2nd version
The spare tire is without a cover. Now the roadster has no license plate.
|
From behind 3rd version
The cover of the spare tire says "Jem". The backlight is completely round.
|
Inside
First sight of the inside of the roadster, it's all pink.
|
Inside 2nd version
A different kind of steering wheel. The inside of the door is flat. The rest of the
dashboard is differently located.
|
Radio
This is where Kimber allegedly starts the car by turning on the radio.

Pedals

Glitter 'n Gold Roadster
This roadster was won by Jem and the Holograms in the Glitter and Gold contest, a
contest held at Diskovery Records. The first group to sell 500,000 records won
the Roadster, the competing group was the Misfits. Also this roadster said "Jem" on the
hood ornament when they first see it, before they even win it. I guess we could argue by
now that this is the name of a certain in-cartoon brand.
Characters that have driven it
include Jem/Jerrica, Aja, Rio, Roxy, Clash, Danielle and even Techrat (by remote though).
Was released as a
toy in the doll line in 1986. Compare with Hasbro's
artwork.
Front
This is a very shiny version of the roadster. Same hood ornament as the first roadster.
Maybe "Jem" is the actual name of this sort of car in the cartoon. There are no handles
on the doors.

Starlight Express
Invented by Christy.
This is Jerrica, Kimber, Aja and Shana's car which they've had since before they
started the group, and perhaps it was even Emmett's. According to Aja it's old already
in the second episode. It's blue, and the side have
yellow stars and says "STARLIGHT Express", and it has purple seats. It's also been
referred to as "Starlight Van".
This van is kept alongside the both roadsters to transport the Starlight girls, when
Rio doesn't drive them in his van.
This was most likely Emmett and Jacqui's car since the big family didn't have a lot of money
and we don't see any other cars at this point, and since it's name says "Starlight", which is
something Emmett named alot of things like Starlight House, Starlight Music, Starlight Drive-in,
Starlight Foundation, and Starlight girls. We actually see Jerrica and Shana exit from the backseat
through the front doors once, as if it has no backseat doors.

Back
No handles on the front door.

Inside
The seats are purple and so is the steeringwheel.

Rio's cars
Front of Rio's van
Although it doesn't seem like much, and Jem actually told him (according to herself in the episode
"The Day The Music Died") to get it fixed, and it broke down, he keeps it even in the last episodes.
But it's got room for six people, perfect for Rio and Jem and the Holograms.
|
Front
Slightly different colors.
|
Back
The license plate actually says "RIO".
|
Rio's Volkswagen "Beetle"
Probably Rio's first car. He had this car when Jerrica and the others were younger and
still lived in Starlight House.
|
Tourbus
Yes, Jem and the Holograms have a tourbus. It's just a regular bus with seats, nothing
special. They eat and sleep on the road. Rio drives it. We only get to see it in one episode
"Video Wars".
Front

Back
|
Inside
Lots of seats, and whoever wants to sleep can do so in the back.
|
Holograms' and friends' cars
Most of these vehicles only appear once, so very little is known about them.
Emmett's car
He had this car when first driving Aja to Starlight House.
|
Emmett's car
And then when Shana came to Starlight House, it was in this car. This may
suppose to be the same car as Starlight Express.
|
Aja's or the Holograms' car
This might be Aja's car since she is driving.
|
Starlight truck
They used it to bring equipment to the train for their tour by train. Perhaps it's also
used to bring the equipment when on the road, driving along with the tourbus, because the
equipment doesn't seem to fit in the tourbus.
|
Raya's car
|
Alonso's Nursery truck
Raya's father Miguel drives this car. Says "ALONSO'S NURSERY" on the side and back.

|

very first episode to the last few episodes. Pizzazz is usually the one who drives it,
but Roxy aswell as Stormer have driven it once aswell.

Clash's car
This is the car she arrives in the first time we see her.
|
Clash's car from above
|
Pizzazz's car
Maybe she borrowed Clash's car since it looks the same and even has the same color.
And it's not the other way around since Clash had this car before she met Pizzazz.
|
Eric's old car
This is the car Eric drove around in when he was first hired by Emmett. The license plate
appears to say "E63741".
|
Eric Raymond's Rolls Royce
You can tell he made alot of money at Starlight Music before the
Misfits had their breakthrough.
|
Eric Raymond's Mercedes-benz
Says "E - Ray" on the license plate.

Other vehicles
Countess Danielle Du Voisin's yacht
Danielle loves to cruise on the ocean in her
family's enormous hydrofoil yacht. The first time she met Jem and the Holograms, she
invited them to a party on her yacht. Even the Misfits attended the party, uninvited.
Danielle also has a 200 ft. sailboat.

We only see it once from behind when driving through the gates to Starlight Mansion

As a side-note, in the UK Jem comic book Special No.1, Rio has been taking lessons for
his own helicopter pilot's license.
|
Jeff's motorcycle
Jeff is used to driving all sorts of vehicles in his work as a stuntman. Kimber
actually fell for him after he rescued her from a bunch of explosions on this
motorcycle when a scene of the movie "Starbright" went wrong. It explodes but a very similar one
appears in the episode "Glitter and Gold".
