I am interested in what other people consider to be the most beautiful production cars ever built: Show cars and concepts don't count here,
I'm interested in cars that were sold for street use. Beauty (whatever that means) is the only thing I'm considering here (e.g., the Mangusta had treacherous
handling but it was much prettier than its successor, the Pantera, which was a much better car, similarly, the Cisitalia had on 65 HP but set the styling pardigm for performance coupes for five decades thereafter).

My list, which probably says as much about me as about cars in general:
I've also added the color that I think of them as most beatufil in as that probably has an influence on "beauty."

1938 Talbot Lago SS "Teardrop Coupe" - black
1947 Cisitalia 202 - red
1950 Jaguar XK 120 convertible - British racing green
1954 Lincoln Continental coupe - white or light blue
1955 Porsche 550 Spyder - silver
1966 Ferrari 275 GTB (short nose) - red
1967 DeTomaso Mangusta - silver
1970 Maserati Ghibli - gray metallic
1993 Jaguar XJ 220 C - very dark blue/black
2005 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish - light blue-grey metallic

And I've never owned any of them!!!


Please post your opinion. Thanks

Hmmm. In no particular order. E body Mopars (70-74 Cudas and Challengers), 69 Chargers, 1st generation Camaros, Vipers, Stingrays, 69 Shelby's, Buick Grand Nationals, hell, I'll throw in an oddball that I have always loved, 94-97 Impala's.

Nice list, but obviously heavy on the Shelby and Ford products - not surprising considering the source. I like it alot because I have owned two of the 10 on the list.

From what I could find on google.
Don't feel like fixing any broken links if their are any, so search yourself.
Was bored and decided to give a hand

Also, surprised no one has said the Saleen S7 yet

1938 Talbot Lago SS


1947 Cisitalia 202


1950 Jaguar XK 120 convertible


1954 Lincoln Continental coupe (could only find a concept)


1955 Porsche 550 Spyder


1966 Ferrari 275 GTB


1967 DeTomaso Mangusta


1970 Maserati Ghibli


1993 Jaguar XJ 220 C


2005 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

The Talbot is one of my all time favorites.


But I would replace the GTB with the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO



Now if we were not limiting this discussion to production cars, I'd have
to find a place for the 1951 C and 1955 D type Jaguars and the
1963 Cobra Daytona Coupe which was designed to compete with
the '62 Ferrari 250 GTO.

C Type Jag


D Type Jag


Daytona Coupe
