What is the most beautiful car ever?

[madurobob]

Huh - I knew my response without needing to give it much thought.... then I checked the link. Yep, same car.

I'm gonna have to rethink my decision now.

1968 Pontiac GTO (yeah, in my dreams)

This is what I drove:

Except mine had the original chrome hub caps. A car-nut buddy had me pull the hubcaps off and shoot the rims red to match the car and put the 'caps back on. He also put pinstripe tape on those weird channels that run front to rear and put a huge stereo in it.

Though my heart will always be true to the '68 Mustang, I'm forced to admit that the '54 Kaiser-Darrin is the most beautiful car. A few years back I saw one at a car show in the cream and red scheme and fell in love. The doors slide forward into the fender. How cool is that?!

Several would qualify for my list.

I would start with a '34 Packard 12. I'd add the '37 Cord 812, and from there, I'd say the 1957 Chevy Nomad.

Then I'd add the '63 Corvette Stingray split-window coupe, add to that the '67 Mustang fastback, (though if we're including the mechanicals in with the "beauty," I'd change that to the '68 GT500 KR.) I'd add the '69 Camaro, the Z28. Perhaps the '77 TransAm, though my persona preference is the '73 Firebird.

I do have a particular reason for my bias, of course: the American Interstate Highway System. Most of these cars were set up for that particular component of the American roadways.

An old dead one in the woods providing habitat for wildlife.

This is an incorrect answer.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

The General Lee.

Only if Catherine Bach is sitting in it.

Only if Catherine Bach is sitting in it.

Not even then.

However, one might want to consider the Charger Daytona.

That is one cool car. Almost as cool as this:

The 1956 Ford Thunderbird.

You are all wrong.


Most beautiful car ever made: 1963 Corvette Sting Ray

The split window sends shivers up my spine. And I was thrilled last summer to discover that a one lives in my hometown. Pics of it below...

Runners up:
50's 'vettes.
Boattail Buick Riviera (yeah, I have a thing for boat tails).
1996 - 1968 Lincoln Continentals. Like mine. (pic below)

Images, as always, hosted on my photobucket account.

God drives a '55 T-Bird.

 

[Biscuit]

I have always loved the E type and I have my own version with an XJS. Not quite as pretty but its up there.

Also the Aston Martin DB4 and almost anything made by Morgan

Studibaker Hawk
Shelby Cobra

[fuelair]

XKE or Rolls Silver Ghost

Looked.


EEEEeeuuuuwwwwhhhh.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

You all are nuts.

1974 Gremlin. Like this one, except mine was green.

 

[Cactus Wren]

Professor Yaffle is right, there's nothing to beat the '09 Broken Link from Fortunecity.

(sorry.)

You all are nuts.

1974 Gremlin. Like this one, except mine was green.

Was this your other car?

AMC Pacer - Ugliest American car ever made. Ever.

 

[timhau]

I don't know about the most beautiful ever, but if I was rich beyond all measure, I'd have a really, really hard time convincing myself that I don't need one of these babies.

 

[Blackadder]

something Italian. Or American from the late fifties, early sixties

 

[Mojo]

I'd have gone for the XK120. I'd say the Citroen is a classic design rather than a particularly beautiful car.
