What do you think is the prettiest car ever?

[csl177]

OK then, my opinion as fact: the prettiest car ever is the Talbot Lago by Figoni et Falaschi. At least, today.

Well put Desmo and kind of explains my love of the A110.
Just pretty from all angles and typical Gallic quirkiness.
VERY few consider one of my other thought pretty cars - the Bagheera - and even then I fail to explain it's beauty to me other than to recognise the curves and French femininity of a design

Delahaye 175S roadster. The blue one.

Such a shame that the french don't make cars like those anymore.

It's almost generically pretty.. nothing oustanding, but fit, well dressed, obviously looks after herself.

^^^ adn a bit hairy underneath once you get to know her better

[pimento]

Well, she is French...

There are many pretty cars. Your thread must have given some options and would have told to decide from that option which is the prettiest car.

[Matra et Alpine]

^^^ the danger there would be the lambasting it would take for having lacked a persons favourite. I like this route ( as has been done often in the past here ) as it allows readers to put up the less well known ones which are as beautiful as the "most beautiful" the press go on about. eg Personally I think Bugatti Royales are ugly monstrosities that parody the more modest and better executed lines of cars that came before and it's contemporaries.

[Rizaven]

Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic

[vanessalane]

My vote goes to the Mk. III Ford GT40.

I just love the lines and overall shape. And I know this has nothing to do with the looks, but the sound is immense.

according to me the prettiest car ever is Bugatti type 57 SC Atlantic. its modern engine with 200 HP made this car capable of surpassing 200 km/h

[john14]

The Lamborghini Miura P400S (1968?) is such a beautiful car and I would say it is the most beautiful car I have seen. I've only seen pictures of it though.

[ScionDriver]

I could only come up with a short list. Too hard to pick just one, but the Talbot Lago Teardrop, the Jag E-Type, the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, and the Ferrari 250 GTO are all near the top of my list. But there are a number of Delahaye's and Duesenburgs and other cars from the '20s and '30s that could make my list as well.

I would argue (doesn't mean I'm right) that the prettiest cars came from the pre-war era. I would certainly say that there are less "pretty" cars being made today than in the pre and post-war eras.

[Ferrer]

The pre-war era was the peak of automotive styling. Most of all because there wasn't any automotive styling. Just rolling sculptures.

Some of them were more like small apartments. I'm thinking of the wood decoration in some Isotta Fraschinis, I've seen simpler and smaller tables going for a few thousands €.

Should we blame the Nazis (also) for ruining the world situation and economy leading to econoboxes, while killing great brands in the process?
Well, while we are at it...
