I always thought the 67 - 69 Barracuda coupe had perfect proportions.

The 2002 Pontiac Aztek, truly a beauty that the UAW owned GM needs to push again...

My 80 year old babysitter had one of those in the 1970s, yellow with a ragtop. Never got it past 3rd gear....

It is listed, but i'd say wrongly. The windscreen's a bit too vertical to balance the curved body shape
Now Datsun 240z - got it right

Had the exact same car in “Aztec gold.” Drove it from Washington, D.C. to Mexico City and back, summer of ‘68. Talk about a road trip!

It's not a bad list, but it's pretty predicable and it totally ignores any earlier stuff and it definitely should have included non-sports cars.
I agree that there should have been a Bugatti and probably an older Packard or pre-WWII Rolls.
Italian sports cars are beautiful and the American muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s are incredible, but I wouldn't label them as beautiful.

The a/c was odd, with two large, clear plexi tubes sticking up off the back parcel shelf at the rear window. All Lincolns with a/c had them at the time. Same thing with the early 50's GM sedans, Cadillac in particular.

If you had sold it me, I’d disagree that it was a mistake. But since neither of us have it: go smack yourself in the back of the head!

Driving those things must have been like flying an F4U Corsair...
...such long fronts that if you ran into something hard you still had time to say your prayers before the cockpit hit.

My first car! On the other hand - the Nissan 300 ZX & the 65 Corvette are my two favorite lookers!
