Best looking classic cars thread

[Nitt1300]

I'e always admired the design of the 1966 Buick Rivera. It's not the one most cars guys would probably name (the 65 gets a lot of love, as do the later "boattails"), but I think it's damn near perfect- it's not easy to make a big car look that good

The subject isn't even worth talking about if one doesn't highlight the Jaguar XKE.

That's one beautiful ride there.

My local small town doctor had one back in the day. My eyes lit up every time I saw it. It was so breathtaking and futuristic.

my dad drove Electras, and he did buy a new one that year- I begged him to get the Rivera instead, but my plea fell on deaf ears

he didn't go for the GTO I thought mom should have instead of a wagon, either- there was just no reasoning with the man

There aren’t too many better-looking cars than that Riv’ .... but here’s one if them:

Feast your eyes on the classic Reliant Robin, a masterpiece of British engineering and design.

The Robin has even been adapted for military use.

In this last photo, the Robin shows off its 3-wheel design; something it tended to do when turning a corner. Because this is a "best looking" thread, I think this is the best looking view of this classic beauty.

Studebaker Avanti. [I don’t know how to down load pictures.] I learned to drive on a Silver Hawk. The Avanti was the next evolution.

The 1969 Jaguar XKE has always been my favorite car. Gorgeous.

I don’t know how to upload pictures but I owned a 69 Camaro SS clone in 1981. The car was originally a 69 camaro with a Base 350ci 295hp V8. My first car was given to me in 1980, a 1968 Pontiac 2dr Tempest powered by an In-line 6cyl with a 1bbl carburetor. Both cars were very expensive to keep up for a 17 & 18 year old which ultimately steered me towards more fuel efficient and reliable Japanese cars.

1962/63 Ferrari GTO. I can’t post pics from my phone.

One of my favorite all time top gear segments.

Avanti looks downright gorgeous from the rear / rear three-quarter’s view - but that nose has always been downright dorky, wonky and wrong ... and that’s coming from a guy who appreciates nearly all grille-less cars

LOL well you won’t be buying any Lexus or Toyota products. Their designers have some kind of “grill” envy or something. They look like they should be in the ocean sucking up plankton. I think they're hideous.

I have never seen a Red Barchetta, but I've heard it is fast and shiny. It's tires spit gravel, has well oiled leather and smells of hot metal and oil.

The Rush song will probably end up being prophetic; gasoline powered cars will be contraband

I would rather be homeless than drive a Rice Burner........

nice backseat for drive in purposes

My favorite is one of the new classics. Although preferably one with circa 2015 “hover conversion”.

1961 Jaguar XK E Type

1956 6C/34 Maserati

Well you can probably sleep in some crappy American car that’s broken down on the side of the road.

1990 called. It wants its stereotype back.

I think for a car to qualify it has to make it out of the driveway without something going wrong.

We’ve covered the universal disdain for Toyota/Lexus/Honda/Acura styling “language” of late (foul language, in my opinion) here over the years....
