On this important topic I'm with Moose94, the only car I would add is a Ford GT40.

People should ask me what car i don´t like, but in my list:
- Ford GT40 (old and new, we kick Ferraris all the way)
- Alfa R. Tubolare (looks and hearth... but no A/C)
- VW Puma (at least got the looks)
- VW Passat/Audi sedans/Toyota Camry/Honda Accord (shhhh i´m not here)
- Lotus Elise (where´s the race track?)
- Ferrari 456 (you and 3 more screaming? nice...)
- Lister Storm (the ultimate sheep/wolf)
- Citroen DS (can yours stand on 3 wheel only?, beautyful design too)
- VW Bettle (60 years and still looks contemporary)
- 93 Ford Bronco (well, i have to love mine, she never lets me down)

I almost forgot my all-time favorite, the Deux Chaveaux!

That'd be a resto project...My dad wanted to buy one new in '56, and mom almost flipped out. $7000 for a car! Who knew?

I hate to say it, but I was thinking of the Deux Chaveaux Tiger Dan mentioned. It was so ugly, it was almost cute. That little 2-popper wouldn't make a bad commuter with todays fuel prices.

Completly rusted out shells of 300SL Benz's sell for over US$200k here.

I actually like 2CV's, they are great City cars, and they go forever too!!! Quite a feat for a French car! (504 and early diesel Peugoets excepted)

You are right, the old DS would be up there as one of the greatest cars ever.

Anyhow, here are 2 more:
Jaguar D-Type XK-SS (Steve McQueen had one, need I say more)

Something a little more modern, TVR Griffin 500:

Shoot, any TVR is gorgeous.

Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my sight is always changing, my pick also changes.

Too damn many.

Also, my choice is the car(s) that I rarely see and when I do, I appreciate them more. (that make any sense?)

Glad to see somebody mentioned the old Rivieras. The style right in around 65-66 is just awesome. The 71-73 boat-tails are some of my favorites of the 70s but I don't know if I consider them beautiful.

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, so I won't repeat those, but I don't think I saw the 39 style Fords or the Lamborghini Miura mentioned.
