CarSPIN's 100 best-looking cars of all time

[omicron]

I am shocked that there is debate about whether or not to include the Citro?n SM and DS on this list. Beautiful cars, especially the SM Opera sedan by Chapron.

I'll think of more, and post again.  I skimmed quickly, but sorry for any repeats.

Alfa Romeo Spider

Iso Grifo

Jaguar XK 120

Continental Mark II

C4

1971 Buick Riviera

Citroen came up with this. That is all I have to say about that.

How do you plan on having us vote them into 100 spots?

Gathering up a list, whittling down all of the ones that don't seem like they belong until we get 100, then arguing over what rank they should carry.  It's not that hard.  I've done it before at coaches seeding meetings at wrestling tournaments.

You don't know what you are getting yourself into.  You are also setting us up to get this thread locked.   Not to mention, 100 cars is a fuck of a lot.

The 2CV is a fabulous car! Not beautiful, but endearing. Back to your box!

50 then? 

This isn't going to be an overnight thing, but a week of having this thread open will give us a metric shit-ton of cars, and honestly, that's too much.

I heard that the 2CV is made out of cardboard and was originally a prop in a high school play.

Has anyone mentioned the Delorean DMC-12?

[omicron]

Has anyone mentioned the Delorean DMC-12?

No. I am shooing it away as I would a small animal in my ceiling.

No one has, actually.

You're just in a bad mood. You need booze, whores, and cupcakes.

I second votes for the Citroens (Traction Avant?) and the Audi TT.

Sander actually got most of the cars on my personal list, back on the first page. He did go with the '73 Riviera, while I would have gone with the '63-65 version:

There's no way Im reading through all this....but if no one has mentioned it, those boattail Buick Rivieras....early 70s?

[J86]

oh god i just had an accident...

[J86]

Oh, that sweet custom Volga that some mag did an article on a few years ago!  Altohugh, should probably hold to production cars...

[Byteme]

A few that immediately come to mind.

Jaguar E-type (no surprise there)
Maserati Merak.
'55 Thunderbird
1933 Blower Bentley
Sudebaker Golden Hawk
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
1963 Buick Riviera
1966 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

Yeah, that was a one-off. If we open the gates to those we have to put n things like Jacques Sauotchik Cadillacs, Chip Foose's Impression, Roth's Beatnik Bandit, and CadZZilla.

And Ferrari has the 599 and BMW has, well, all their current cars.  Should we remove all Ferraris and BMWs then?

Those are gorgeous.  I remember seeing one for the first time on Due South.  A green one.

I absolutely agree. They are so crisply-styled and display quite remarkable restraint given many other American cars of the time.

I prefer the GT Hawk - the straighter roofline make me weak at the knees.

I would not have a problem with being deprived of a Suzuki Verona.
