Best looking American car

[2o6]

Same principle, different country.

[SVT666]

This is going to be the hardest one because the US has produced most of the best looking cars ever produced.

Like this one:

Lincoln Continental Mark IV hands down. 




2nd place goes to the Plymouth V...

Uh, I won't post pictures since that will make this thread load in an hour.

'67 Chevelle coupe
'69 Camaro SS/RS
Shelby Cobra
Mustang BOSS 302
'32 Ford pickup
Hemi 'Cuda

Any lowered 60's wagon with rims.
Smoky and the Bandit Trans Am
C5 & C6 Corvette Z06
2010 Camaro
Pontiac G8 GXP
2005 Shelby Mustang GT (I think, the one with the straight across wire grill that Hemi likes)
Pontiac GTO (both 60's versions and the new one)

I would have to disagree, in my opinion.

Is the Cobra really American?

[mzziaz]

Cord 810, maybe?

[GoCougs]

I think it was GM cars of the '50s - '55 Buick, '57 Chevy, '58 Impala, '59 Cadillac, chief among them.

[Vinsanity]

forgive my fanboi-ism...

Ah, forgot about the Impala. Any Impala from the '58 up until the '68 coupe is pretty cool.

[Vinsanity]

these are pretty ubiquitous in the classic/muscle car world, but it definitely deserves mention:


you can thank Paul Newman's character in "Cars" for this one:


more shameless Caddy love

I messed up with that one because of the current Shelby ownership.

I'll take it down.

it's always been a bone of contention between Brits and Americans...Brits call it the AC Cobra and claim it as theirs; we call it the Shelby Cobra and claim it as ours.

[Vinsanity]

I've always loved this car from "Rain Man"


I guess I've always had a preference for the late-40's/early-50's style of classic car...

[sportyaccordy]

Nothing immediately comes to mind

Maybe the OG Camaro/Mustang

[Onslaught]

I'm having a difficult time with this. For one I'm already drunk at 7:30 and the other is I don't like most American cars. I don't like "look at me" styling with massive hood scoops and chrome all over the place. I like a more curved and subtle look to my cars. That said I know I'm forgetting something other than these cars. I just can't think of them right now.





Best looking muscle care of all time^^^.

This ^^^ is really pushing it for me.

I'm not so sure I can call this ^^^ an American design.

[cawimmer430]

Some more. 

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air


Plymouth Volare



'74 and '77 Dodge Monaco



1976/1977 Chevrolet Caprice


1971 Chrysler New Yorker




Yeah, I like the cool stuff.   

[68_427]

lol

Want in black.

[SVT666]

I would kill for a 1964 Continental.  It would be a restomod project and I would dump the new 5.0L in it and the interior would be thoroughly modern.

Eh, just don't go crazy with the exhaust or anything. Modest volume and no exposed tailpipes. Just wouldn't be right on a car like that.

[hotrodalex]

At least pick a good wagon.

[68_427]

Any late 60/70's wagon is hot.  For the most part.

[cawimmer430]

At least pick a good wagon.

You didn't let me finish!   








^I swear these things are beautiful!^ 

[Onslaught]

lol. Wood siding.

[cawimmer430]

Was that real wood by the way?

Not any of the ones I ever saw. But then again I was a kid.  And all cars looked like big bricks in the parking lot back then.

Beautiful bricks, beautiful bricks.
