Some truly gorgeous cars.

Same order:

-1964 Chevrolet Mako Shark: Concept for the Corvette Stingray. Stingrays are cool, but this is sooooo much cooler looking. Google it.

-1937 Cord 812: It was the first front wheel drive car. It was semi-automatic, it had power windows, and it was just plain gorgeous. Just about every standard feature in an American Car was pioneered by Cord. The tech was brand new, and therefore was usually problematic. Not many were made, and not many survived in good condition. It was used as the taxi in “the Shadow” with Alec Baldwin.

-1953 Chevrolet Corvette Concept: The original Corvette was the prettiest car Chevrolet ever produced. I pretty much despise every other Corvette in comparison.

-1969 Dodge Charter R/T with a HEMI: In the iconic “Bullitt” movie, with Steve McQueen as the title character, there’s a chase scene in San Francisco. It is one of the most famous car chase scenes in movie history. Well, McQueen drove a Mustang. During the course of filming, he went through a LOT of Mustangs. They just could not deal with the wear and tear of racing around San Francisco. The Mustangs were also heavily modified. By comparison, the Charger that the bad guys drove was basically untouched. No modifications, and they could drive the cars after filming. And watch the scene: the Charger is faster in every way. It is just a well made, badass car.

-1964-1968 Shelby AC Cobra GT 500 KR: It is the same size as every other British Roadster from the 60s, but Carol Shelby dropped a big block in it, and the SLOWER versions churned out around 500 Horsepower. Yes, the slow version was close to 500 horses. It is a tiny little car, with just a roll bar, an engine, and a little windshield. If you do not think that it is just batshit insane to drive one of those cars, be prepared to shell out around 2-3 million for one of the originals.

-1970 Plymouth Barracuda with a Hemi “a HEMI ‘Cuda”: Plymouth and Dodge shared production plants and were quite competitive. They were also about as interchangeable as Chevrolet and GMC. A lot of people love these, and they are not cheap or easy to find. I would still want a Charger, given the choice.
