Coolest under the radar classic cars? (1970s and earlier)

So someone here introduced me to this car the Peugeot 504 Coupe. It is a slick ride and I never knew about it before. Something similar it reminds me of is Fiat 124 coupe (the B and C versions).

My knowledge of cars is limited to American stuff (which in the 70s is mostly garbage) and some Japanese cars like this Isuzu 117:

I feel like over the years i’m missing or neglecting a lot of amazing cars. So what are some cool, awesome handling, fast, or ahead of the time classic cars out there that not many people talk about? Not talking about Ford Capris, 70s Celicas, GTV6s, or even underappreciated but known cars like the AMC Javelin. What is out there like this that people are missing?

Fiat 130 indeed. Could have been the best european luxury sedan of its day hadn’t it been for that awful Lampredi V6 (it was actually a pretty reliable powerplant but made NO power and was afwully inefficient as in 15mpg combined inefficient.)
