Well we know Edmund's sure didn't get it right, let's see if we can do any better. Anybody game for a friendly game of "Most Beautiful Cars"?

Rules:

  • Aesthetic design only. We don't care if it's cool, fast, crappy, or just box flares on a box. If you don't want to mount one on your wall and just ogle it, it doesn't belong here.

  • The list is up for revision at any time. If you feel a car needs to move up or down, say so and why ("the marker lights look out of place on the rounded fenders").

  • You must include a picture of the car you nominate, in STOCK condition. Body kits, aftermarket wheels, paint changes, etc can greatly enhance (or detract) from a vehicle, so let's keep it fair.

  • No Race Cars! If it wasn't sold in a normal manner for the street, it can't wrestle. (So no Porsche 917, Ford GT-40, etc). Basically, if it's post-war, there needs to be ~100 made over the life of the model to be included. For pre-war, there has to be some sort of a production run, so no 1-off customs.

  • Be nice!

In reply to icaneat50eggs:

Oh, yours are tough. The Testa Rossa was a racer only, so it's out. The 250 GTO was really a racer only as well, so it's out. The Duesy absolutely belongs, as does the Auburn, but those coachbuilt cars are so tough because they were all different.
