I build many of the cars I've owned, which at least I think are cool, but I had this Mouse Cover for many years thinking it looked like a Hot Rod. Finally a VW came along with just the right frame!  COOL!  ehhe

Easy pick for me. Although I have a bunch that I think are cool. This one checks all of the boxes for me. This model has the most working features and scratch building I've ever done. I doubt I'll ever build another that does it for me like this one does.

I love this!  I checked out the other pictures from your Under Glass post, and WOW!  That dual opening tonneau cover is too cool!

Mickey Thompson's Challenger I by Revell, backdated to the non-supercharged body configuration. Finished to represent bare alloy, fresh from the shop, as it appeared at its press introduction in 1959.

Yeah, it's just a curbside, but, this is the one that grabs my attention, every time I look at the display case. The only thing I would change, were I to do it over, would be to omit the tach. I don't hate it,   it's just a little obtrusive.

Depends what mood I'm in, this question is so subjective.  The definition of "cool" depends on the person too.  Also depends on where you live, the culture you are part of, and how old you are, if cars or trucks is your thing, etc.  I found out from my daughter, that it's cool to warp your license plate, it's a Cali ricer thing.

Here is what I think is COOL, today. ?  Will see if judges at the IPMS show this Saturday think so too.

That is a mean looking Porsche. Very nice work!

I hope that someone would have said "that's cool" if they were seeing this in the early 1960s:

1960 Ford custom

 

Today, I dunno. It's sort-of sleek and traditional but it's kind of goofy, too.
