    Even if any normal sized human being could ever fit into it, that thing was unbelievably beautiful.

    Though, any time that you see a 1964 Daytona Cobra Coupe, the way it purrs and screams. Just can't shake that. Definitely the top of any (positive) list that you could think of for me. The lines of it are all purpose made in a very compact package, and in it's time it was one hell of a competitor. Definition of beauty to me.

    Maybe someone else has a photo, but how about the Bugatti that was built for the Indian Rasha (sp?). Black with orange interior(convertible).Mid 1930's.

    Who could have guessed :roll eyes:.

    I finally saw one by the way. It probably wasn't as good as you describe, maybe I need to see a black one huh? :p

    Cars mentioned that I agree have to be on the list:

    250 California Spider
    Aston Martin DB4 Zagato
    Lamborghini Miura.
    275 GTB (had a 4 cam)
    Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale
    Ferrari P3 (P3/4, 206SP, etc)
    Ferrari 250 SWB
    Ferrari 250 GTO
    Ferrari 246 Dino
    Bizzarini
    Talbot Lago figoni falaschi "tear drop" coupe

    I'd add a few:
    Alfa Monza
    Bugatti T55
    Ferrari 340 America ( chassis 0082A)
    Ferrari 166MM (had one)
    Alfa TZ

    My car may not be on too many lists, but only Zagato could make such a tidy package look so good. GJ

    I don't think ANY modern car can qualify as being beautiful. Not even my very favorite 360 Spyder.

    Some cars come to mind: E-type, Gullwing, 250 GTO and 250 SWB, Speed Six.

    Not prettiest, but most beautiful: 1935 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial Roadster

    I know they've all been said before but there is a reason.

    Jaguar D-Type

    Lamborghini Miura

    Ferrari 250GTO

    Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing



    The lines of those cars flow into something more like art than metal for me.

    Cars I simply like the look of are:

    Ferrari 360 Modena
    Lamborghini Diablo
    Dodge Magnum
    Mercedes-Benz SL600 (2004+)
    Mercedes-Benz CLS55
    BMW M6

    I think all the one's I'd put forward have already been mentioned:
    Mercedes 540K
    Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing
    Aston DB4 Zagato
    Ferrari 246 Dino
    Ferrari California Spider
    Lamborghini Miura

    The only modern cars that I think have any place on the list are the F355 and Aston DB9, however looks are such a subjective thing...

    (I'm amazed by some of the suggestions put forward - 360? Nice car, not pretty IMHO. Mercedes SLR ?! Fugly IMHO)
