BMW 507 (1956-1959)
omg i’ve never heard of this; she’s utterly beautiful
oh yeaaaaa that’s curvy
Some great answers so far, but I’ll always have the hots for the Fairlady Z.
Edit: better pics here.
I absolutely love these little muscle cars - they’re so beautiful; especially maintained
Someone in my neighborhood has one just like this picture. I always stop and stare when it drives by.
Apparently my mother in law had one as well, but I haven’t a seen a picture of it or anything.
lol its… cute ^^
It was also revolutionary when it came out. It’s the car for the atomic age. Remember this car came out in the 50s. Compare it to the boats on the road. It’s sleek, it lacks a grille, it pioneered technologies in braking, transmission, and handling. It was the first mass production car equipped with hydropneumatic suspension, as well as disc brakes. If you saw this at the 1955 Paris Motor Show, you probably would have been blown away. Here it is in 1966 at the Amsterdam International Autoshow displayed like a rocket.
ah touché; ahead of its time too
Toyota Land Cruiser
yes! absolutely love the vintage fj40s… would add international scout in the same category!
Hard to link images for me on mobile, but for me it’s the classic Corvette Stingray. Late 60s early 70s were the pinnacle; they still supposedly make them but they don’t look like themselves anymore.
oh yea 100% any of the astronaut cars https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.corvetteforum.com/1600x900_85-1/271/alanshepardcorvette-207271.jpg
1964 Pontiac Grand Prix.
While the GTO is legendary for pretty much sparking the era of the muscle car, the Grand Prix’s looks are just so much more understated. To me, the GTO is like an Affliction t-shirt while the Grand Prix is more like a nice button down. The GTO goes out and gets life. The GP kicks back and lets life happen.
I still love the classic GTO in much the same way that I love an Affliction shirt. But there’s one of them I’d rather my mother see me in.
these rides were soooooo smooth, my greaser friend collects cars from this era and has one - although he makes his cars as loud as possible with crazy and huge exhausts
omg- that is stunning
Golf Mk1 or Scirocco Mk2
Mazda RX7
The FD is honestly such a timeless design. Even my non-gearhead wife thinks they’re beautiful.
I particularly like how it looks low to the ground
brap brap
Jaguar XJ220
Great choice. They’ve aged so gracefully relative to their peers.
Right on. Sure the interiors might show their age. But for a car that’s pushing 30 years old, it is still incredibly sharp.
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (not sure that one is totally original) is one of the most-beautiful, in my opinion. Dat ass.
oh she’s definitely a looker, lotus elise vibes - I love it
Goddamn that is gorgeous. It’s all the swoopy curves I love about the Stingray but, like, more so.
Engine sound is what seals the deal. Just perfect. I discovered it via Assetto Corsa in VR. So nice to drive, listen to, and look at.
I’m a sucker for malaise era land yachts, so I say the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado.
All show, no go. Just like me 🤗
lolol I miss my old buick regal, nothing like couch seating, smooth boat like ride, easy steering, massive space
So good. My first car was a 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis. That video is of a '77 Marquis Brougham, but I don’t recognize any notable differences between that and the 4-door Grand.
Besides all the bullshit problems it gave me, how unreliable it was, how poorly it drove on snow and ice, and how much fuel it consumed, it was a great car 😋 I honest to god miss it every day.
lolololol reading this brought back memories. mine had a perfect well maintained engine but the body had too much salt and rust damage to keep going without a cash infusion lolol
Like RCR and Technology Connections, anything B R O W N
Okay but for real, I have a soft spot for the Chevrolet Celebrity, as that’s what my mom drove when I was a wee lad. There’s a simple understated beauty to cars like this that were made to be used and thrown away.
2016 Mercedes S63 AMG. My daily driver is the 2015, and so jealous when I see the 2016, it’s perfect. It’s gonna be a sad day when I have to move on.
