The most beautiful cars ever made...
 
5 Attachment(s)
These are my picks:

1. 1967 Mustang Shelby KT500
Attachment 27804
There are classic cars… and then there’s the 1967 Shelby GT500. Compactly built, the vehicle’s impressive initial burst allows for it to effortlessly scoot down the roads with the greatest of ease. In a sense, this vehicle holds the sensibility of a leisure car with the ‘cool factor’ of a sports car.

2. 1965 Maserati 3500 GT
Attachment 27805
A boot lid — coupled with a hard top — allows for the 1965 Maserati 3500 GT to have quite the presentation. The angular front grille gives the car depth, and the expansive hood makes the cabin sufficiently compact.

3. 1987 Porsche 959
Attachment 27806
A twin-turbocharged engine enabled the 1987 Porsche 959 to be the fastest legally-made sports car in the world during its inception.

4. 1963 Jaguar XKE
Attachment 27807
Jaguar vehicles are widely appreciated for crystal-clear lines, smooth finishes, and a collectively dynamic presentation. It’s absolutely perfect for cruising around town in — or revving up the engine on a remote road during a Sunday afternoon.

5. 1964 Shelby AC Cobra
Attachment 27808
This is a near flawless car. The glossy nature of the supercharged black simply pops with chrome finishes and a bold front grille. The over-sized tires add support to the overall body of the vehicle — yet also work well with the remainder of the constructed design.

More pics will be posted by me...but in the meantime show your "Most Beautiful Cars"!

Being a Toyota Geek, I have to go with this:

Of course, always followed by my '98.

Edit: Dear God these things are getting into the stratosphere:

Not many of those around!

Wife's client has a '57 Fuelie all original. You should see this thing, it's literally an untouched survivor. He's owned it since the early 70's. 3 Speed Manual. :yesnod:

Cool car for sure! He's also got a 61 that's about the same, totally OEM.

American Underslung, Pantera, BMW 507.

The XKE is my favorite "old car", but this new Ferrari P80/C one-off is the most beautiful modern car I've ever seen.

It was Enzo Ferrari who said of the XKE, "It's the most beautiful car ever made."

How about these?:

1. 1957 Thunderbird
Attachment 27816
There’s perhaps not another car better embodying American spirit more so than the 1957 Ford Thunderbird.

2. 2018 Bugatti Chiron
Attachment 27817
The 2018 Bugatti Chiron is like many that came before it: Impressive. The muscular build and widely fashioned hood only accent the mass power it holds

3. 1993 Jaguar XJ 220
Attachment 27818
Rather than using carbon fiber panels, the 1993 Jaguar XJ220 opted instead to be equipped with an aluminum base for the body. Conventional doors were also chosen rather than the ‘trendy’ scissor doors.

4. 1963 Chevrolet Corvette
Attachment 27819
The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette is stylish beyond belief. Appearing similar to a powder blue spaceship, the back gate ridges up beautifully. The back windows offers a dynamically different shape than the average vehicle.

5. 1938 Talbot Lago
Attachment 27820
The 1930’s offered an interesting period when it came to car manufacturing. Without question, the 1938 Talbot-Lago embodied the sophisticated nature of French culture through its creator Alexandre Darracq.

He was right then and sorry Spence but a Mustang? Granted a pretty car but Enzo's comment is still valid if I'm writing the check.
