Pick your favorite iconic car from any decade....

I'm not one who would spend $50+ on a truck, or even $30, but seeing and hearing a Ram Rebel like this merge in traffic today was cool.

If I could have any car in the world it would be that car.
If I lived somewhere else and had a totally different life, an E-type coupe would be my grail. In the reality of my world, I need THIS just to get out of my garage and down the driveway in winter.

When I go shopping for the birds, I have to haul a heavier load. This belongs to the parrots.

I hate to say it but it looks like a Panamera with a goiter...
Every time I see a Panamera, I am reminded of a gig I did years ago for a Panamera launch event with a Latin band. We were playing 'Guantanamera', and the temptation to sing it as 'Porsche Panamera' was almost too great for the band. The sad bit is that the corporate audience probably would have liked it if we had :facepalm:

Early 70 s Riviera. My neighbors had one. In that color. It was a cool car. They were old people…
They were never as attractive after the 'Energy absorbing Bumper' took effect. For several years after that NO American car was attractive. One of my High School buds had one (pre bumper), beautiful car. Clearly a fail on the car designers side.

Agreed. Look at the "Big Bumper" 74-77 Camaro..... :eek:
 
455 cubic inches of brute force and ignorance (topped by a Rochester Quadrajet) is housed under the hood of that land yacht.


My high school bud had one of those and we'd go cruisin' in the city on weekend nights.

I remember one thing so vividly about that car - just how enormous it was. Sitting in the passenger seat and trying to converse with your friends it seems more like a room in your house than the interior of a car.

Looking out the windshield you see the length of the hood stretch out ahead like a tennis court.
