BMW 507 (1956-1959)
omg i’ve never heard of this; she’s utterly beautiful
lol its… cute ^^
It was also revolutionary when it came out. It's the car for the atomic age. Remember this car came out in the 50s. Compare it to the boats on the road. It's sleek, it lacks a grille, it pioneered technologies in braking, transmission, and handling. It was the first mass production car equipped with hydropneumatic suspension, as well as disc brakes. If you saw this at the 1955 Paris Motor Show, you probably would have been blown away. Here it is in 1966 at the Amsterdam International Autoshow displayed like a rocket.
ah touché; ahead of its time too
Some great answers so far, but I'll always have the hots for the Fairlady Z.
Edit: better pics here.
I absolutely love these little muscle cars - they’re so beautiful; especially maintained
Someone in my neighborhood has one just like this picture. I always stop and stare when it drives by.
Apparently my mother in law had one as well, but I haven’t a seen a picture of it or anything.
Toyota Land Cruiser
yes! absolutely love the vintage fj40s… would add international scout in the same category!
1964 Pontiac Grand Prix.
While the GTO is legendary for pretty much sparking the era of the muscle car, the Grand Prix's looks are just so much more understated. To me, the GTO is like an Affliction t-shirt while the Grand Prix is more like a nice button down. The GTO goes out and gets life. The GP kicks back and lets life happen.
I still love the classic GTO in much the same way that I love an Affliction shirt. But there's one of them I'd rather my mother see me in.
these rides were soooooo smooth, my greaser friend collects cars from this era and has one - although he makes his cars as loud as possible with crazy and huge exhausts
Hard to link images for me on mobile, but for me it's the classic Corvette Stingray. Late 60s early 70s were the pinnacle; they still supposedly make them but they don't look like themselves anymore.
oh yea 100% any of the astronaut cars https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.corvetteforum.com/1600x900_85-1/271/alanshepardcorvette-207271.jpg
Jaguar XJ220
Great choice. They've aged so gracefully relative to their peers.
Right on. Sure the interiors might show their age. But for a car that’s pushing 30 years old, it is still incredibly sharp.
Golf Mk1 or Scirocco Mk2
Mazda RX7
The FD is honestly such a timeless design. Even my non-gearhead wife thinks they're beautiful.
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (not sure that one is totally original) is one of the most-beautiful, in my opinion. Dat ass.
oh she’s definitely a looker, lotus elise vibes - I love it
Goddamn that is gorgeous. It's all the swoopy curves I love about the Stingray but, like, more so.
Engine sound is what seals the deal. Just perfect. I discovered it via Assetto Corsa in VR. So nice to drive, listen to, and look at.
I know I'm basic but nothing will ever beat the 60s mustangs for me. The 67 is perfect imo as it was the best balance of overbite on the front and tail length but the 64 1/2 is a thing of beauty as well. The fastbacks is what killed me. Iirc that started 69 or 70 and I didn't like the Mustangs again until the 90s although that's mostly nostalgia because they look very 90s.

There's something untouchable about the 250 gto.
I complete agree
Ever since need for speed 2, I've loved the Mclaren F1.
Amazing performance and it just looks great. And it even has a back seat, so your super car owning fantasies can include a family of up to 3.
oh yea that car is otherwordly
bmw 2002 hands down. i would kill for a clean daily but that’s some serious money….
2016 Mercedes S63 AMG. My daily driver is the 2015, and so jealous when I see the 2016, it’s perfect. It’s gonna be a sad day when I have to move on.
Touring Disco Volante Alfa Romeo TZ2 Jaguar XKSS Jaguar C-X75 Ford GT 2005 Lotus Elise S1 (more cute than beautiful)
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is about the prettiest car I've ever seen.
Aston Martin Vantage Jaguar Type F Alfa Romeo Spyder (2000+, or Brera) Alfa Romeo C8 Volvo P1800 Cyan Mercedes SLS (New one ~2015)
That's my list anyway.
that’s a solid ass list
Thank you. I try to keep my ass solid.
I'm a sucker for malaise era land yachts, so I say the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado.
All show, no go. Just like me 🤗
lolol I miss my old buick regal, nothing like couch seating, smooth boat like ride, easy steering, massive space
So good. My first car was a 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis. That video is of a '77 Marquis Brougham, but I don't recognize any notable differences between that and the 4-door Grand.
Besides all the bullshit problems it gave me, how unreliable it was, how poorly it drove on snow and ice, and how much fuel it consumed, it was a great car 😋 I honest to god miss it every day.
lolololol reading this brought back memories. mine had a perfect well maintained engine but the body had too much salt and rust damage to keep going without a cash infusion lolol
Like RCR and Technology Connections, anything B R O W N
Okay but for real, I have a soft spot for the Chevrolet Celebrity, as that's what my mom drove when I was a wee lad. There's a simple understated beauty to cars like this that were made to be used and thrown away.
