Yes, another thread similar to this one

A beautiful decade for cars, Miura, E-type, Jensen Interceptor, not to mention multiple Ferraris.

And yet I cannot decide what to pick...

This must be up there yum

Incredibly difficult to choose just one car from that time, many favourites already here. IMVHO the best era styling wise ever.

Pick of the moment, Abarth Simca 1300:

Good call - this should be an epic thread - there truly were some beautiful cars in the 60s.

I think the E type came out in 1959.

In which case it is a moot point whether it was an icon of the 1950's or 1960's.

In any event I was a teenager at the time.

No sports car has ever had the breath taking effect of the E type when it was first on show. I remember the =furore then all over europe. Unequaled.

The stunning lines have never been bettered in my view.

The 150MPH top speed (just: in lightweight form) would be respected even today. That is more than fifty years later.

A truly gigantic achievement in motoring history.

Often copied but never equaled. The E type challenged Ferrari head on. And won.

The E type has to be the best looking car of the 1960's.
