The 1954 Buick Wildcat II.

It's got a very agile, athletic look while still retaining a distinctly American style. That and the throwback to 1930s-style fenders and the windshield-mounted driving lights.

I wouldn't say beautiful is the right word, although I like it. There's something a bit too masculine about the wide shoulders for it to be beautiful.

Masculine can be beautiful ;) though I see what you mean.

Generally masculine things are considered handsome rather than beautiful. The latter implies feminine qualities.

Agree to disagree? I think beautiful is a term which can be applied to anything which looks very good, handsome separated from beautiful seems like a social construct to avoid men being called beautiful and vice-versa.

All language is a social construct, by its very nature. You can mean what you like by a word, but it doesn't change what others will understand when you use it.

There's no reason a man can't be beautiful. It just means that he's at least slightly feminine in his good looks, rather than being ruggedly and entirely masculine.
