I can’t choose! But if I had to, I could really see myself in the Duesenberg.

Low, slick, and fast as hell.

I probably had a similar experience when I first saw and F40 in person. You almost always see pictures of these cars taken from a low angle, and when you see them in person they just look so small!

Here are mine in no particular order:

1946-47 Packard Clipper

1956-57 Continental MkII

1963-65 Buick Riviera (hailed by Pininfarina himself as the most beautiful postwar American car ever made)

1960 Chryslers

1953-64 Studebaker Starliners, Speedsters, and Hawks

To me, prewar cars are in a class of their own.

I submit this one: 69 Mustang fastback. Not a real boss or anything special though. It’s for sale btw, can’t convince my dad to keep it.

I don’t think so...

my short list would have to be:

1967 Plymouth Barracuda

1959 Buick “Deuce and a Quarter” Electra convertible

1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air Convertible

The Dousey you posted

1957 Ford T-bird

Could not agree more on the first two. The 55 Continental would have made the list over the 61 if they made a convertible in large numbers. As for the Clipper I always forget about those but they are stunning.

Tell him to keep it for you as inheritance

65 had only the 289 and 305 I thought?

The T-bird and the 59 Buick I can agree with.

289, ford never had a 305.

I thought Jay Leno said his Shelby GT350 was a 305. I thought it sounded weird oh well.

Ford GT is an up-sized GT40, which is a british Ford, by Lola. Not an american design.

Personal favorite american car designs:

68-73 early C3 Corvette Stingray

65-66 Mustang 2+2 Fastback (honorable mention to the 69/70 as well)

Auburn Boat tail speedster

68-70 Dodge Charger (honorable mention to E-body Plymouth Barracuda)

People love the 1st gen Rivieras, and the 3rd-gen boat tails, I however really prefer the early 2nd-gen 66 and 67 Buick Riviera.
