Not really much of a car fan myself, but I've always loved Talbot Lagos late 1930s teardrop design:

Too many favourites to choose from for me sorry.

 

The Lincoln Futura above became the 1960's TV Batmobile.

 

A Toss up between that and the 1989 Keaton Batmobile with its Vulcan auxiliary generator as its intake..

As a nostalgian I love any old car of the pre 1960s. My absolute favourite however is the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado (the one and ONLY car I even like in pink!)

It's just gorgeus no matter how you look at it

This exact car, completely stock.  IMHO, the most beautiful car ever created.

69 Dodge Dart 340. Right now the 340 is under the kitchen table waiting to be rebuilt ..thus work in progress. Way back in the cave man days when we were in high school me and my friends we all into the cars from the 60s and early 70s. Now that I have a little cash on hand I can finally do one. The Dart is a favorite of mine because lots of people will say something like "My mom had one of those" or "Grama had one" Then they look at a hot one and they're stunned at how good they look and how fast they are because they're so light.

 

Forgive the guys language this Duster has a stroked 340. You can see the power you can get out of them

I can smell the burnt Rubber from here lol.

 

30 years a mechanic living in England here we don't get that kind of torque here.

I now have a 1400cc Nissan note sadly   .

 

Had a few fast European cars in the past (Renault Clio 172 Exclusive , 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds only 172 built), my fastest,  but have always had a soft spot for American Muscle cars.

 

Here's my  little Clio European Porsche performance I had a few years back, too light a car TBH for 172bhp, it was scary sometimes.

Of course my own car is my fav! She might be a bit girly (something that old men at gas stations love to remind me about) but I don't care , I bought it for myself and I love it

Well voncrapenhauser us old car fans have to face facts that these cars are never going to handle like modern cars do although there are after market suspension kits that vastly improve the handling and braking. There's noting more fun to drive though. No automatic gizmos so you have to pay attention. Especially if you still have drum brakes all the way around. Don't tailgate!!! Also it's laughable how easy these old things are to work on and how cheap parts are. I bought a fuel pump a while ago..$35 took 15 minutes to put it on.

I'm just waiting to stuff a cammed ls3 or 2 into my 300zx... (Z32)

 

I have 1995 Audi s6, 2005 Wrangler Rubicon and Yamaha fz1 as well... My wife drives a 1990 miata that was only $900 and we drive the shit out of it... So many great vehicles!

I have a classic little old lady Dart story. Over the years I've seen this lady who's in her 70s driving this 71 Dart around the town where I life. One day I pump into her at coopers and say to her great cars arn't they Oh the best she replies and You can take it for a drive if you wash it for me......LOLOLOL I thought we were back in the 40s for a moment   Then she tells me how everyone is bothering her about her car and she doesn't get why, even a policeman gave me his number she says. Umpteen other people also. So I try to explain to her what was so cool about her car. We chatted for about 10 minutes in the coopers parking lot. Now I'm starting to run into her once and a while at the A&W so I'm going to print this pic out and keep it in the car to have handy when I run into her again so I can say....See..That's why those guys are after you

That camera work is fantastic. They did a great job of showcasing that Jaguar.

An absolute classic of the 1960's, It was a real testament to the E that when it was first released Enzo Ferrari called it The most beautiful car ever made.

When it comes to cars, not fans, this is the ultimate machine. I once had a 911 E I can only say I regret that I sold it.

 

[sallee]

Just like mine! Red, rear-engine...amazing.

[C-Bag]

Although I always wanted the Porshe 550 Spyder in my pic above, the one I miss was my first car. 1957 Karman Ghia like this: It was rear ended and totaled. I turned around and bought a cherry '65 that only had 40kmi. for $400. Those were the days <sigh>
