Yeah, it all started around 1975.

Lotsa great looking machinery on this thread.

Kinda makes me wonder if the folks who designed this horrible mess had ever actually SEEN a car before...

 

Horrible mess indeed.  Nicely stated!

[Kromolly]

Since pickups were included earlier... it's hard to beat the Diamond T, in my opinion.

Difficult to disagree!

Lots of beautiful bodies in this thread for sure. ‘68 & ‘69 Charger/Charger 500 is what floats my boat though.

[BeakDoc]

As far as trucks go......

Now that tops my 4x4 list for sure! I like my Willys too, but the drivetrains were weak.

Black’s got to be the best color for it too....

Everyone tells me I'm nuts but I LOVE these cars, 1961 Chrysler 300.

I agree with you!

This is one of those examples of how amazing it is to me how Chrysler could make such a seemingly weird and homely car look so aggressive!

I just started watching the reruns of Crime Story on Pluto TV, and I think the hero is driving one of these. Crime Story is a great show if you like spotting cars of the '50s/early '60s. 

ETA: Just checked the webernets and apparently it was a '57. Sorry.

I'm drawn to the Art Deco period, but that '71 Riviera is mighty nice too!

[webestang]

Still to me one of the sexiest cars ever made........

Probably my favourite American car design has to be the '65/'66 Pontiac Bonneville's and Grand Prix, just stunning lines all round.

[DonW]

I do like the Daytona, best are the Plexiglass front ones with 9 inch rear wheels. 

Here's my selection:

Best sports / racer - 250 GTO Ferrari.

Best touring car - Woolf Barnato's 'Blue Train' Speed Six Gurney Nutting coupe.

Best daily driver BMW 2002 ti Alpina

Since we had a larger family I grew up with a love for the GM "clamshell" station wagon's Dad bought a new Catalina 400 wagon in 1971 which was a Brown color Pontiac called it bronze.

[TransAmMike]

Wow!!   Just Wow?

[Venom]

I think the one that says “1973” on the license plate would have to be my favorite .... just because it’s green.

[iamsuperdan]

Well, if we're doing trucks as well, for me it's the GMT400 series.

1988 through 1998. Well, through 2000 if we include the Tahoe/Yukon.

For me, there is no bad angle, and there nothing "wrong" with these. Design, function...everything just perfect.

 

 

[JollySipper]

The Dodge Sweptline trucks get my vote for best looking truck body style..... I had one years ago, a short box, wish I had kept it......

The 66 2+2 in metallic Brandywine.

Surprised that no one has posted the second-generation F-bodies.

[sfhess]

one more.  73 Grand Am.  I think the 40door looks better.
