    I don't feel it's one of the prettiest cars in the world, certainly not viable for this list, but it's simply a car I like the looks of. I think for none other than it was THE Ferrari for the years of my life where I developed love for the Ferrari name. It was the first model I saw where I knew what it was, and that excitment has never left me, even today with the knowledge of the past and future that I have now. Just like the 328 is for you (yours is nice, love the black!), the 360 is for me and I think a good part of my generation will be the same way.

    on the convertible front whilst i love the california spyder i do think the 275 nart is nicer and the 250gt nembo (pictured below) is even nicer still.

    360 and enzo just dont look pretty in my eyes, purposeful yes but not pretty - its probably sacrilege to say it on f-chat, but for modern designs the gallardo spyder does it for me

    I had a 993 cab, triple black, which I thought was a handsome car. (In fact the 993 was likely the high watermark for the 911 cosmetically.)

    Then I took it to a car meet at Symbolic Motors here in San Diego and had the misfortune to park it in a row of cars that included a Murcielago, a 328, a 330 GT, a Gallardo Spyder, a 550, and on and on. I wasn't quite embarrassed, but it was bit like bringing your sister from M.I.T. to the Hawaiian Tropic bikini contest.

    Dang, nobody's mentioned the 308 GTB?

    So they're relatively inexpensive--so what?--they're still classically beautiful.
    Timeless, IMO...

    288 GTO is close enough :)

    Hard to think of 'the most beautiful car' and not confuse that with the car I most desire.

    I think I would have to go for the French stuff that started the thread. Would not want to own one but they are beautiful to look at, but I'd like a Bugatti underneath so it's all beautiful to look at. Thus maybe a T49?

    Nembo, from rear 3/4 and front is awesome! Side, well, nose looks a bit long to my eye.

    It's the old rubber bumper quandry. I look at the stunning chromed bumpers on the classics, and the neat body colored fibreglass on the 328/355/etc, and just think Pininfarina had it nailed except for the stupid bumper laws.

    That said, I wouldn't mind owning one.

    Oddly, I'd love to own an F40 but I wouldn't rate it as the most beautiful. It's just of an era, and has a look, that does it for me.

    Modern cars just don't do it for me. I think the most beautiful designs were done circa 1930-1940.

    If the question was 'Prettiest Ferrari of all time', that might be true?

    But that wasn't the title of the thread! :D

    Indeed: A timeless beauty, but the OP asked for "prettiest".

    ...There is a difference.

    I think this thread proves why there are people who whack it to 400 pound girls. I can't believe some of you can perceive as beautiful some of the cars posted. :eek:

    Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But true beauty is universal and few cars are as beautiful as the 1930s explorations in design.
