Okay
What is the most beautiful car ever made?
I have a couple thoughts, but I’ll hold off until people have had a chance to think about it.

My vote goes to the Ferrari 250:

Jeez Louise, this is a hard question. I love the Classic MG. I have a sentimental attachment to the 1961 Chevy Impala 2-door convertible. I love my Honda Element, though not yet perhaps as much as my 1990 GMC stepside pickup.
For line and style and sheer unaffordability, in cost and upkeep, this one took my breath. http://www.clusterflock.org/2007/08/maserati_quattroporte_sport_gt.html#comments
The most beautiful mass-produced car ever made was the Jaguar E-Type, in my opinion. The older Jags like the XK-120 through -150 come close. A Jaguar Mk II is probably the ultimate expression of the four-door sedan. The Ferrari GTOs are great, too.
I just said more than one, didn’t I? Sorry.
Porsche 356 Speedster convertible
Cindy and Rick mentioned two of my contenders.
I’ll also add the Aston Martin DB5.
The 1963 split window Corvette.
And the Ferrari 360.
I will also admit — and return to my question about the ‘67 Fastback / ‘67 Camaro question — that as much as I love the fastback for its stance, athleticism, and muscularity, I sometimes think the ‘67 Camaro is the most beautiful shape I’ve ever seen.
