Yeah, but a '67 Impala SS fastback is a much better looking car.
I mean... looks at dat ass!!!
The paint shop couldn't believe that I wanted them to paint it Plymouth Prowler orange with a heavy orange metallic flake in the clear coat but they asked me to leave the car there for a couple of weeks afterwards because they were selling so many paintjobs after it was done.
Jaguar E-Type!
Jaguar D-Type.
Porsche 356.
Porsche 550 Spyder.
Aston Martin DB-4.
Austin Healy 3000.
AC Cobra.
'57 Chevy.
'57 Cadillac.
MK1 mini.
Damn near ANY Delage.
Deusenburg. It so totally encompasses luxury & decadence that a word was made from it to be used to describe something that's over the top.

Two that I owned ^^^^^^^^^^^^ back in the 80's
The 1973 Opel Gt., cool little car, great for the twists & turns of Colorado's mountains. And my 1st car, 1969 Dodge Charger, great stock Hot Rod, Rolling along the highways @ 120mph, long before a certain TV show made it famous......

Porsche 917
Ford GT40
Ferrari P3
These just look ferociously/frighteningly fast standing still.
Older SL Mercedes. Both '50s and '60s.
'63 Split and '68 Stingray 'Vettes. I can hear the Jetsons theme as they drive by.
Studebaker Avanti & Citroen DS (ages ahead of their time)
E-Type Jag. Just sexy as hell.
GTO (the Italian one)
...more of course. |
