Best looking American car

[MX793]

No mention of the Zimmer?

Too hard to choose.  Love the '69 and '70 Mustangs.  Love the '66-'69 Toronados.  Love the early C3 Corvettes.  Love the '64 Continental...

Needs chrome bumpers.

Or no bumpers:







There are a couple running around here with the bumper delete, and they look pretty good.




And the kind of car it was patterned after usually hada crate 350 that put out about as much power as teh stock V6, and usually had an automatic:

Or no bumpers:

If I had one, I would remove the bumpers in a heartbeat.

Sure, but the V6 doesn't sound right, and I don't care what tranny those old hot rods had, I want a manual.  The manuals being made back then sucked so autos made more sense...just like most muscle cars had autos because manuals sucked ass at that time.

Meh, the exhaust sound is an easy fix with a cherry bomb. I too would immediately ditch those awful bumpers, and I think I'd like the manumatic in this car instead of a manual. Much better for cruising around town.

The stock exhaust setup sounds alright, but it's not the V8 rumble that a car like that should make.  Even a cherry bomb won't be quite right.

Man, you losers and your sports cars.   

THIS









IS WHERE IT'S AT. 



Plymouth time! 




Man, I wish I went to that college in the '70s! My parents would have given me a gorgeous Plymouth Fury as a graduation present! 

[Laconian]

Studebaker Avanti, it isn't the best, but it's still a really good looking car.

[Vinsanity]

that is a sweet Falcon!...but I bet that woodgrain would look pretty awesome on the side of a black Ford Flex too

[shp4man]

More Falcon love.

[hotrodalex]

Falcon wagons are tied with this for my favorite wagon.

[omicron]

I'll give you Falcon wagon, damnit!

[Mustangfan2003]

Some of you Aussies have had too much Fosters.

[omicron]

I cannot hear you over the Falcons!

[ChrisV]

I love Falcons...





Which is why that green car's nose is going on my Comet:

[Nethead]

The Nethead here will try to limit it to ten twelve:

The '05 Mustang GT coupe
The '65 Shelby G.T.350 coupe
The '57 Thunderbird
The '63 Stingray coupe
The '63 Avanti coupe
The '63 Riviera
The '68 Cyclone GT coupe (and why I bought a '69 CJ 428 Cyclone)
The '68 Charger coupe
The '65 Impala Super Sport coupe
The '66 Toronado
The '61 Lincoln Continental (two-door, if they came in two-door models )
The '66 Bronco roadster

OK, that's ten twelve in more-or-less descending order.
 
The T-Bird, Stingray, and Avanti are essentially in a three-way tie for third place.
The Impala, Toronado, and Continental are essentially in a three-way tie for seventh place.
 
The Cobra 427 is excluded due to its Anglo-American heritage, as is the Ford GT from earlier in this decade for the same reason...

I have to second Onslaught on the C1 Vette.
