I'm still nominating the studebaker GT Hawk.

Why?

It was the last car ever to be run in NASCAR completely unmodified.

Besides that, its just plain cool.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Triumph TR3. First production car to come with standard disk brakes...not to mention a blast to drive.

Speaking of which, don't you have one of those sitting in your garage in bits? How's that coming?

They were nice cars.  I didn't know about the GT being the last car to run in NASCAR unmodified.  Was it the supercharged version?

The one I think is one-of-the-greatest cars is the 53-54 Starlight Coupe simply because it is so beautiful.  The one I had was a '57 Silver Hawk which, at the time, I thought was quite lovely but it's really the earlier ones that were exquisite.  Harley Earl is given much credit for setting the design trends of the time but I think that Raymond Loewy was just as influential.

Back on topic, my turn to post a greatest car:





No way, mang.

It needs the 2.3L Duratec. It transforms it from a sedate little runabout into a fire-breathing Corvette stomper.
