Early 1950's Ford and GM, especially the 1954 Chevy Custom Cab, with a one-piece curved windshield and rear corner cab windows. Grandpa had a 1953 Custom Cab 3600 (3/4 ton).
Runner up, 1967-72 Chevy. I had a 1971 C-10 short box Fleetside.

Not a fan of either new model, GMs are too big and boxy, Ford's look ridiculous. JMO though.
Always loved the '68 Fastback as well.
Gone but not forgotten.

67-79 fseries takes the cake for me, followed by the 67-72 gmc p/u w/4 headlights, and 3rd would be the 73-80 gmc/chevy stepsides. i'd like to get my hands on the chevys and use a ford drivetrain, to eliminate the issues that make me hate gm sometimes

I definately started liking the 80-86 style lately in a classic truck type feeling. The only late model trucks I like are the superduties. I like any domestic truck from the 70s back.
The oddest automotive affection I have is towards the Mustang II coupes, I photoshopped one into a killer looking classic with minor changes. Its scary.
