Okay. I'm on it like a car bonnet, so here we go.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider 1956

Austin Healey 3000 MkIII Phase 2

1958 Jaguar XK150 3.4 Litre

Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America

Land Rover Series I

1948 MG TC

Riley Pathfinder

1950 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith

1962 Rover 80 P4

Until a few days ago I didn't know this existed but thanks to OPPO I now do and I want it.

1959 Triumph 2000 Italia

Yes they are all either British or Italian from around the 1950s as I believe that was where and when the most beautiful cars were made.

I didn't put a Ferrari 250 —- in as I really just see them (yes they are beautiful) as vastly expensive and far over rated cars these days when as you see from the pictures above there was so much beauty around that doesn't really get a second look or the true appreciation that they deserve.

Uh, did you accidentally delete your old post when you reposted this?

Anyway here's my somewhat thought out list:

'60 Chrysler New Yorker

'68 Dodge Coronet R/T

'67 Ford Mustang GT Fastback

Ferrari 250 GT Lusso

'61 Plymouth Fury

'50 Lincoln Cosmopolitan

GAZ M-23 aka KGB Volga

Delahaye 135

Jaguar E-Type coupe

Early 50's Pontiac Chieftain

There should be a woodie somewhere in there but figuring out which woodie to add would take too much time.

This is why it makes my list of pre-70 wagons (and other cars).

That's crazy I just learned what an El Morocco was last week in some auction catalog, interesting cars.

Thanks. I had a heck of a time choosing. A lot of my favorite classics range from 1970-1972, so that made it a little more difficult, but a lot of the 1950s and 60s cars in there are so awesome.

I was in the same boat. There are a lot of early 70's cars that would be on my list if not for that qualifier this time around.

Interesting how 60s-centric I am with this question.

1965 Corvair Monza 140

1969 Cadillac Deville Convertible

1968 Plymouth Barracuda Coupe

1968 Alfa Romeo GTV

1968 Lamborghini Miura

1966/67 Pontiac Tempest

okay now for my real comment

1 Kustom shoe box Ford. this but pink with pearl white flames

2 white 65 Barracuda

3 Red 59 Buick 2dr herdtop

4 1964 baby blue Toyota Crown Pickup

5 Datsun Roadster in green, with some chunky, sticky meats

6 a Baja Bug well at least one.

7 a bitchin Willys this color would do, if not miss matched patina would be great

8 Studebaker Skyhawk blavk, and gold two tone

9 Volvo 122 Wagon in off white

10 brown, or yellow 66 911

This made me realize how little I know about pre 1970's cars. I really do think the the 60's and late 50's were the best time in automotive history tho.

the bumper on that Lancia is perfection.

this IS a good list, and a nice US-based list to contrast jag's euro-centric list.

I certainly prefer the bumperettes on the Spyder America over the single piece bumper on the Spyder.

The front always reminds me of a British forces moustache.

Though the single piece I could easily live with if I had too.

The same is true of the rear.

America ruins everything.

Svend > HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles 02/08/2015 at 01:04

No, not this time, the America is the two piece one which looks awesome.

The only problem is the two piece (bumperettes) Spyder America is about three times more expensive than the single piece bumper Spyder.

Ooooh boy. Here we go.

Technically entered production October 1969! Preferably a Z432R

Lotus 49! For track days, bro.

1965 Crown Imperial Limousine for driving like a sir.

1967 Barracuda with a 426 Hemi.

We're dreaming, so I'm assuming I could drive this on the road without people shitting bricks and planning my death.

Jaguar XJ13, for top-down fun. Er, Top-nonexistent fun.

No introduction necessary.

1963 Alfa Romeo TZ. 1500lbs of sexy badass.

A classic DDer, with tons of parts availability and probably even more mods.

A winter car, the CJ-5 Jeep.

Pre 70 I had to have a Datuns roadster, and the Stude is just for fun. Didn't figure anyone else would pick one, so Surprise!
