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

I have only ever seen one of these, back in the late 1980s, parked on a street in Westwood Village.

Surely someone must have posted a Lancia Stratos by now

Any decade?

 

[tzohn]

Automobile history is so rich and so much passion has been put into cars the last 120 years that its even hard to grasp the magnitude.

Had to look it up myself. A Secret Service presidential limousine. Nope.

Oops. I was trying to make it a hyperlink. It is the 61 Lincoln that JFK was assassinated in.

For the 1930s, the '37 Talbot Lago T150 SS takes the cake:

I remember those as a rare sight on the motorway and around the village, in my youth.
They were often called Ferrari's

From what I recall, Enzo did play a major role in the company.

Mercedes SEC
I have an '82 380 rusting away in pieces in my folks garage that I was going to rebuild..... Someday. Now it's just a pebble in my shoe that I can't seem to get rid of

In 2004, I bought a '78 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL that was straight and clean but needed a few minor repairs to make roadworthy. It was my daily driver for the next 5 years.

Then I found a '74 SEL in about the same condition and made that car my daily driver so I could use the other car as a test vehicle for converting to an aftermarket programmable fuel and spark system and run on alcohol.

Of course that project bogged down about 2/3 of the way through after 3 years of mods. Then my daily driver started falling apart faster than I could fix it, and parts for a Mercedes Benz that's almost 40 years old are neither cheap nor easy to find.

Just a few months ago, I sold both cars for parts to a Mercedes collector - for $500.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife, who just recently passed away. (Yeah, I had to look it up, too.)

Not necessarily iconic, but this '53 Buick Skylark is pretty dreamy.

That sorta looks like a diecast.

Not that there's anything wrong with showing a diecast...

Here are my "iconic" diecasts (along with my motorsports watch)!

Nice car, but the motor seems to have developed a little whine.

Certainly looks like the South Park version of her anyway. I didn't know her name either until she passed and a gazillion people told me that Beth Chapman just died.
