It's beautiful for certain. Yes, that's my impression too. The way the misfitted the lines meet to make it coo. It's like a fat man and a skinny girl dancing a Vienna Waltz to perfection ...... and in doing so they fuse to become an item of grace.

The Jensen Healey was the successor to the original Austin Healey 3000 that was second only to the E-Type when it came to good looking British sports cars of that era IMO.
The first indication Toyota was serious about actually being car folks. I present the Toyota 2000GT. There were also cabriolet versions. Much like a Jaguar E type, top up, or top down, this was a stunning car.
What? No love for the bug-eyed Sprite? I mean, look at that happy smiling face. It's adorable. I wouldn't kick it out of my garage...
Going back to Alfa... 1939 Alfa Romeo Tipo 256 Coupe Stunning as a coupe, even better as a cabriolet. Note, the cabriolet is also a custom coach works model called the sportivo
A bit too much like the E-type if you ask me. Imitation may well be the sincerest form of flattery but sometimes it's just a bit creepy.
Somewhere, deep in the archives of my life, is a photograph of me standing in front of a race-winning yellow one (with green trim) on display in Tokyo in 1967. I was 19 then and I don’t think I ever heard of Toyota at the time and had no idea what I was looking at. Everything was written in Japanese.
I give you the Talbot Lago Grand Sport. Introduced in 1948. Only 12 of the luxury version were built which makes it both rare and beautiful. Unless you have no soul.
A Fairlady it was. I have a fondness for the original 240. When the last gen 350Z first went on sale, it was the first thing I bought when I got home from Kuwait.
I just think there are better examples of Talbot Largo. For example, this gem. The 1937 T150 C-SS by Figoni and Falacshi. Such a sexy beast.
