Things that add to the cool factor IMO:
-Taildragger landing gear...you never see that on big planes nowadays
-Teardrop tapering of the fuselage
-Charmingly rounded vertical stabilizer
-Vintage paint schemes that suit its lines
-Distinctive raked V shape of the front glass
You have to "fly it" on the Taxiways in order to manuever it.
The pilot and co-pilot can "slide the window open" and stick their head out for a good look without ripping their face or head off in flight.
