Most beautiful car?

Seeing we had a thread on the ugliest car/trucks out there.

How about one for the best looking cars?
I couldn't find a thread on this topic when I searched.

My vote is for the Morgan Aeromax - built exclusively for Prince Eric I. Sturdza

This is another of those subjects that has too many choices, but for me the '36 Cord is way up there:

A little more contemporary contender, the Jag XJ220:

I consider the Citroen Traction avant a car of great looks and design for it's time.

All great choices.
The XJ220 I didn't think looked that great when it was released, but its svelt shape has grown on me like you wouldn't believe.

Don't start the crying over it. I won't be able to contain myself.
It was quite an aggressive car, and did look reasonably stunning in the metal, however I wouldn't call it beautiful.

The Crawford Auto Muesum in Cleveland, Ohio had three stainless steel Fords. A Sedan built in the 30s, a Thunder Bird, and a Lincoln. Also I thought the Deloren (sp) was a nice looking car.

I'd have to go with the 2005 Mustang... I loved the looks of the old ones, and with the revamp these look even better.
