MINE:

1955: Citroen DS The futuristic-looking Citroen DS was more like a U.F.O. than a conventional sedan. The French four-door used tech that was very uncommon for the day and Citroen proclaimed it was the most advanced car in the world.

The front-drive machine had a hydro-pneumatic suspension that provided one of the smoothest rides of any car in the day. And the advanced twin-clutch semi-automatic transmission sounds like a feature that would be home on any car today. In fact, the DS was so forward-looking, production continued until 1975. 1956: Continental Mark II

1956 Continental Mk II. One of the nicest looking cars Ford ever built. They went for around $8k an outrageous amount of money for a car back then.

I use to have an ID19. Fun car to drive, but man it was something else to work on. Still have a 2CV lurking in the barn. There used to be an active enthusiast community, but now most of them have passed on.
