Seeing that Maserati 300S brought back memories of sports car races in the 1950s and 1960s which, IMO were the pinnacle of beautiful sports car design led by the Italians and yes, Jaguar. Sports racers after that were clumsy and horrible looking with wings, fat tires, spoilers epitomized by that ugly Porsche 900 plus whatever. Here's my list of favorites:
Sports Cars: 1934 Squire, Bugatti Type 57, 1938 Talbot Lago, early Ferraris 4.1 4.5 America, California, 275 GTB, Daytona and GTO, Maserati 2-liter and 300S, Lancia Aurelia, Jaguar XK120 (but not 140 and 150), C, D and E Types, Scarab (maybe the best sports racer of all time), Alfa 8c 2900 and Sprint Speciale, BMW 507, Aston Martin DB3S, AC Ace, early 4-cylinder Austin-Healey. In sedans/convertibles, 1940 Lincoln Continental, 1940 Ford convertible, first series Packard Clipper, 1964 Pontiac GTO, 1965-68 Corvair, Jaguar 3.4, various Knife-Edge Rolls and Bentleys, 2nd series MG Magnette. There may be more but I can't think of them right now. Anyone disagree? Other entries?
