Timeless Styling

1. Ferarri Dino 246 GT/GTS
2. Pre-L Detomaso Pantera
3. Mercedes 300SL Gullwing
4. Detomaso Magusta
4. Jaguar XK-120/140
5. Jaguar D Type
6. 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe
7. 1955 Chris Craft 21' "Cobra" Runabout

Yeah, I know #7 is a Mahogany boat, but Google for pics and you'll see what I mean ... timeless lines.

I still own three of these cars so I'm admittedly somewhat biased ... '55 Jaguar XK-140 Roadster, '72 Pantera and '74 Dino 246-GTS

OK, I have always loved the '68-'69 Chevelles, SS but the Malibu too.....

The lines on the '68-'69 Stingray have grown on me as well

As far as the Euro cars go, I really want a Dino in my birth year, 1972..... I'm just saying :)

Remember the Ford Probe, that was a hot car for it's time back when I was 20

I have no idea :) I can't even quite remember what it looks like now but I do recall thinking it was cool at the time ?????? You know... for a 19-20 year old who hadn't had a new car yet

All right forget that.... I went and googled Probe..... not what I remember..... oh welllllll......................

But the DINO....

Well you guys hit all the cars I'd add to the list.

I would add the Triumph TR6 to the list too.

Its an affordable classic with a timeless shape.

I would also add it's nemises of the day the Datsun 240Z.
