    I'd throw the Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, Jaguar D and E Types, and Mercedes 300SL Gullwing in the running..

    In my opinion, prettiest cars of all time are the modern cars we see on the road right now.. Here are some of what I think are the prettiest cars of all time.

    Ferrari 360/F430/599/P45
    Lamborghini Gallardo
    Aston Martin DB9
    Porsche CGT

    I'm really not that much into vintage cars. Everybody has their opinion and what I think is that new cars are more attractive.

    Flame On.

    Seriously, a Ferrari 360 as the prettiest car of all time? Boy, I wish that was so! Perhaps I could then pick up a Bugatti or Delahaye on the cheap!

    Sort of like comparing Mozart to Bon Jovi or Picasso to Warhol, IMO. (Sorry)

    each of the cars pictured are the most beautiful examples of pure automotive art one could find. I certainly love all F-cars - to me they bleed of passion and emotion and a raw sense of excitement and have a significant place in history. Personally, I love speed, passion and excitement.......therefore Ferraris do it for me. That said, those cars are amazing. Thanks for the pictures.

    In fact, there isn't any Ferrari that could be considered the prettiest car of all time.

    And that goes for most cars!

    In my opinion, the most beautiful cars were produced during the art deco era.

    There is no question about this. The incredible artistry and innovation of the time has never been equaled.

    The designs of Figoni and Falaschi are masterpieces.

    LOL, NOT QUITE! :)

    The art deco era is considered to be 1925-1940.

    Think of Erte's work, then you'll get it!

    As far as vintage goes, I'd say it's a 3 way tie between the DB5, Miura, and 275 GTB.

    For newer cars, I like the 360 Challenge Stradale and Veyron (I know I'll get some flak for that one...)

    I was actually fortune enough to see one tracked when Will H and I took his 512tr, July 13th, 2002, to Lime Rock Park to run with the AMOC (Aston Martin Owners Club). I remember this particular car sustaining some sort of damage (internal? in the engine compartment?) but can't recall exactly what occured..
