Thanks Steve, That is a beauty.

[Richard Bartrop]

Many years ago, Automobile Quarterly featured this 1931 Packard with the title "The Most Beautiful Car We've Ever Seen", and I find it hard to contradict them.

That Miura is a beauty, to be sure.

I’m not a Porsche guy by a long shot but there is just something about the 356 Roadsters and Speedsters that makes my heart skip a beat.

I love topics like this, cause there is no wrong answer, and everyone gets to share their own personal tastes.

For me, I've been in love with this car since the first time I saw a picture of one in a book at the public library when I was a kid

Still, to this day, my favourite car of all time...

I'll drink to that !

The Ferrari 550 Maranello. Simply perfection.

It is cool, but a little too "out there" for me.

And that my friend is one of the reasons i like it.. its different. Cars to me from that era just ozze pure pizzaz. Especially the individual coachbuilt cars back then.

Dont get me wrong ..im a diehard muscle car guy thru and thru.

But if i had an unlimited  cash flow....one of these would be near the top of my shopping list.

Subjective but it doesn't get much more classic than this

Oh I get it Bill.

Some of the cars from the 30s where beautiful cars, and many were very unique.

They're just not really my cup of tea, and even if I had all of the money in the world, I would probably still not buy a car from that era.

Truth be told, I probably wouldn't own the '67 Corvette that I posted either.

Honestly, I think that the big American cars built between about 1955 and 1969 were the most beautiful cars.............almost all of them!

All good...but I'm surprised no one has posted a pic yet of the classic Jaguar XKE circa 1963-64. As a little kid growing up back then one look and I thought it was the sexiest thing ever put on four wheels.

Same here.

And outside of a few one off or prototype cars, there isnt a Corvette made I can get all giggly for.

 

But put something from the mid/late 50s thru about 1970 in front of me,,,, and pretty much ALL of them could be on my wish list. Mainly big cars. ESPECIALLY if the top goes down.

1957 or 58 Bonneville, 1966 GTO , 1967 Gran Prix,   1958 Sunliner, 1959 Desoto Adventurer, 1961 Chrysler 300 . I like Fins and  chrome, lots of chrome.

too many favorites for me to pick from but my first love is the 1956 Crown Victoria

Today I'm in the mood for this one.

Part of Ghia's "Supersonic" series, a single Aston Martin chassis was given the treatment in 1956.  Similar bodies were fitted to Jaguar and FIAT chassis, with slightly differing proportions and details.

The '59 Buick has always been a favorite,

They lend themselves very well to some custom touches, too........

Great subject! Great bunch of cars, too! How about putting names with the pics. Some of these I don't know.

My choice for this thread is the '68 Chrysler 300. I'll put a pic up later...I'm using my phone right now.

My choice:

[peteski]

I can't just pick one - that would be like eating only one food item for dinner. I like variety.  Maybe of my favorites have already been mentioned, but here is another one not yet considered:

a 1971 Maserati Ghibli.  To me this car has some of the most pleasing and slick lines (from all angles) of all the cars out there, past and present.  It is just simple, and beautiful at the same time.

 I think one of the prettiest cars of all was/is the 1961 Pontiac Catalina/Ventura 2 door hardtop. I love bubbletops! I`m fortunate enough to have one in my garage.

forgot some info

The second generation Corvette is great, I love my 65 coupe.

But, to me the seventh generation Corvette is a much better styled car.

This 2015, keeps my 65 company in my garage.

One of the prettiest cars produced in 1961!

But I personally prefer the Bonneville.
