I was looking at the thread about the "Top ten turkeys" and thought I'd start a thread about the most beautiful car designs ever.
The Crossfire is a given, so lets pick other cars. I'll start.......


1965 Buick Riviera Jaguar E-Type

 

I agree 911, the XKE "coupe" is my all time favorite Beauty Contest winner. Along with the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.

And the Corvette Stingray Coupe 1963/67.

It's funny how my Top 3 of all time picks for the most Beautiful Car award, were built in 1961, 62, and 63.
Each one was a Sports car too.

1957 Chrysler 300C





1962/63 Lotus 25 Formula 1 (Jim Clark's Championship winning ride)





1957 Jaguar D-Type





2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

 

I like the 57 300, but I like the 61 better! I love those canted headlights.

 

All very nice. From the more current batch, I think this car is awesome.

 

Just about anything that Chip Foose has had a hand in specifically a 37 Ford Roadster called Impression that is just plain beautiful. I'll try and figure out how to attach a picture.
I also have to agree on the Jag convert. My uncle had a 62' XKE convert. White with red leather, redwall tires with wires and knockoffs it was and incredible car. From what I understand the wiring and hoses were crap on those cars, he had all his replaced.

One of my all time favorite;

 

I'll have to go with this, as far as new goes.

 

FP is that a lincoln mark II conv.?? I didn't know that they made that car in a conv.
PATPUR I agree, anything Chip Foose touches is awesome. He even made a Micro Bus look cool! It makes me mad that these other shows on TV do better in the ratings. I.E. unique whips, pimp my ride, They all do really crappy work. It amazes me that they get all these celebs cars to work on.

 

FP is that a Mark II convertible?! I take it it's not the original... only one exist!
I'll have to agree on both of those and the XK... I could picture all three together in m garage right next to the Crossfire

 

Yes it is.

 

Here are a couple from the 80s.....



1981-83 Imperial I have one in my garage that i'm making a custom out of. Puttin a 451 stroker in it!



1989 Jaguar

 

Wasn't this the last Imperial made?

 

Yes. Very low production, about 1200 a year. An interesting note, even though its the same platform as the Cordoba / mirada, chrysler used thicker sheet metal on the Imperial. Also, this was the first production electronic fuel injected car. Didn't work very good though, and most were converted back to a carbs under recall. It was also the most expensive domestic car made.

 

Concepts are "designs", right?



"Holden Efijy"

 

I was hoping to keep it to production cars, but that is awesome. I thought it was the Buick concept when I first looked at it.

 

HERE'S A COUPLE FROM THE 50s. I'm sure I'll hear about these, but I love chrome!!!

1958 Buick Limited


1959 Cadillac

 

I love chrome......................
