This is either a love or hate, I had one, 1972 Buick Riveria 455 GS, for a big boat it moved out pretty well:  They were stylish back then! Could always distinguish one out of the crowd |

The Art Deco era produced some of the most beautiful form over function cars.  |

I always thought the Duesenbergs were some of the most elegant cars ever built. A guy that lived across the street for many years was well known in the US for restoring Cord, Auburn, and Duesenberg cars did the Cary Grant (believe that was the car) Duesenberg back around my high school years. When I graduated from high school I worked for a short time at a metal plating company where I chromed many of the parts he restored for one of his Duesenberg projects.  |

No contest, because it's a car AND a truck from our outer space future...

Shelby Cobra: I consider the Cobra a rather homely car that was made beautiful (in a very macho way) by virtue of fame based on how Shelby transformed it. The car it's based on is not very comely looking in its original form.  |

Those Duesenbergs were really something. I read where the supercharged ones could go almost 140 mph, with a wheelbase as big as a full sized pickup truck.

In all frankness, I like this one.  Looks like its pulling to the right. Probably needs a front end alignment. |

The car it's based on is not very comely looking in its original form. First, that car is not bad looking in it's own way. Second, the transformation to the cobra changed the lines is a magical way. The muscular stance, the bulging fenders, the higher hood, open grill and side pipes...all combine to make it look like a caged monster, just waiting to be let loose. |

The Cobra is muscular and purposeful, handsome maybe. But the topic is Most Beautiful Car. I would argue that the Cobra, though rendered iconic by it's transformation into one of the first true muscle cars, is not beautiful. Of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...and I kind of dig the Dart! |

Back when they came out with this yellow Mustang (1971 or 72 ) I did not like the body style change but now I like them. Not as much as the 70 year model but not far behind |

I would argue that the Cobra, though rendered iconic by it's transformation into one of the first true muscle cars, is not beautiful. Of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...and I kind of dig the Dart! That may be a factor. I have a sonic blue strat that I bought in spite of the color, which I borderline detested. I now think that guitar is beautiful, probably because it's so rewarding to play. Similarly, I have never liked tuxedo cats, but picked one because, as a kitten she climbed into my lap and went to sleep. I now have an affinity for tuxedo cats and think they are quite striking. That being said, I've always like cars that look "muscular". Many go for sleek, low, sweeping lines. I like ones that look like their bulging with power and muscle. I fell in love with the BMW Z3 for the same reasons (though pictures never do it justice as the muscular look is more subtle):  |
