These are my picks.....can't pick just the one!!

All of the 1953-55 Alfa Romeo BAT cars (have to be seen in the flesh to really appreciate them)



The fabulous '59 Stingray Racer



The '55 Lincoln Futura. Ten years later, this car would be modified by George Barris into the iconic Batmobile used in the famous sixties TV series.



And lastly the amazing 1953 GM Futureliner buses.

Imagine the flex..or alternatively the weight of the bracing required to make it any way rigid. Not knocking your choice just imagining the engineering challenge.

Forgot about that zoom, certainly different!

Ford Focus



Always liked those rear lights.




Especially after knowing that became of that name.
I can remember thinking at the time this was unveiled that the designer must be an ichthyologist, as the front looks remarkably like a catfish....

Only MG I've ever lusted after



I went to the Gaydon museum last week and the MG EXE is on display there, along with the Jaguar XK180 mentioned in an earlier post, the XJ220 V12 prototype and the Daimler Corsica, a convertible XJ:
