Akiko Wakabayashi at the wheel of Toyota's 2000GT in You Only Live Twice:
Now that's what I call "iconic."
About 2 weeks ago I saw one like the one above while driving on a roundabout near Arnhem. Real pretty.
Way, way upthread I said a '63 Impala Convertible. I saw one sell on Mecum auction yesterday for 80k. Way out of my reach.
Ja, dat model heeft echt hele mooie lijnen. Prachtig, elegant ontwerp.

A Citroën DS Tissier at the Stadtpark Revival in Hamburg. This vehicle was built in 1976 by Tissier for a French automobile club and were based on a 1970 Citroën DS. Originally 35 of these vehicles with 4-doors and 4 axles were built, today only 3 are left. This one was found on a scrapyard in southern France. Just like the regular DS this vehicle has a hydropneumatic suspension. But unlike the regular DS it can lower the front and back independently so there are no extra ramps necessary for loading and unloading a car. It's maximum speed is 170km/h.

In the eighties the Citroën CX Tissier could often be seen near the Overtoom in Amsterdam. They brought French newspapers from Paris to Amsterdam in express delivery.
The Belgian variant is the Citroën CX Pijpops.
I know he had to replace his in the second year. And he let it run 5 mins. before shutting down to let the turbo cool.
Toyota nerd here so I gotta nominate the AE86. Closest I've had to one is my 87 Corolla FX.

My dad had a Corolla FX-16 GT-S for a while. Occasionally I got to drive it. With the manual tranny it was a blast to drive!
I always liked the Buick Reatta. Such a simple, clean design:
well........it looks pretty cool, probably not driving it down any alley's though I'm guessin
