In Praise of Beautiful Cars.
 

Who cares if they break down after every ten miles and have nowhere to stick the shopping? Some cars are just totally beautiful.

Lamborghini Miura





Ferrari Berlinetta





E-Type Jag. The only car Enzo Ferrari wished he'd designed.

uh...

i personally love the ford escort. in green.

1967 Maserati Ghibli

not much of a gearhead, but certain shapes and lines are just gorgeous

Ford GT based of the old GT40


Ferrari 599 GTB


and one of my all time favs

an early 70s DeTomaso Pantera

The Boeing LRV reaches a SCREAMING velocity of 9 mph (on level ground).

it would really put the wind in yr hair, if there was wind, and you had hair.

Yes, that is gorgeous.

the car of my dreams, porsche 550 A spyder



someday i will have this little bastard.

Alfa Romeo Montreal. Jesus fuckin Christ yes.




Ferrari Dino 206GT

not really a car but still beatiful

Still my fave of all time..the revolutionary Twin Turbo ROTARY RX7 from 93', 50/50 weight makes speed and hanldling amazing..timeless, but lots of cooling issues, and ya gotta be a mechanic to own one. So it fits right in with many high priced classics...

 

Citroen DS 21 Special 1971

The orig Ford GT40 1964. Mmmm Niiiice!

i get my permit in like a week and lience in decmber yay

believe it or not but i actually saw a delorian driving down the street a few months ago.

The Dream 1961 356 Porsche

In the word of Ferris "So choice"

Has anybody mention the Ford Pinto? If not it is my pick.

Another fine export of Wisconsin, the AMC Pacer.



I love old Chevy Impalas..



And for some reason I love yellow taxis. I think these are Ford Crown Victorias but I'm not sure.

c'mon...

ha ha *cough* ha

jean rédelé died last week, rip.

koenigseigg

lotus elise

catheram/lotus super 7

jensen interceptor

renault alpine

ford gt40

i could live with a slr






am db9



maserati gran turismo



alfa romeo 8c

Ford Mustang is the way to go!
Especially the 66/67/68 fastbacks.

'beautiful' and 'car' don't work together for me :(

Yeah, That silver one is a little over the top.
Like I say, the fastback rules the highway.



The 63 is elegant.

dont really know much about cars, not really a fan but i know this is a good one. they have one in a garage in berlin and everyone drools over it.

Studebaker Avanti

that's a bugatti veyron, its faster than a f1.

fine, fine... i'll get serious

i almost got a volvo amazon once



ended up getting a nissan, against my will. but i loove that car. i'll get one eventually.

i also like 1950 saabs


not beautiful but oh so peculiar, they look like a camel to my eyes.

mid-XX century swedish cars FTW

1966 was a great year for cars



alfa romeo spider



ford mustang convertible (see toko's post for "whole" version)

as well as the volvo amazon posted above

Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster 1973. In my mind still the most beautiful car ever designed.

Beautiful

Mustangs are yawnsville.
Jock car.

1958 Plymouth Tornado:


Plymouth XNR, quite possibly one of the most beautiful cars ever:


BMW Isetta:

Shelby Cobra Daytona 1964

To think, looking at all the cars shown so far, that people now design cars that look like this. It's like they haven't even tried.
