An honorable mention goes to another car that isn't strictly beautiful but has one of the most charismatic designs of all time; the Giulia GT.

saw a few of this style alfa on the weekend, one of which was for sale.
tempting
OT: this is actually an impossible date with people's different tastes but still nice to see the examples put forward!

Second that... clutch, what are prices like for step-nose Alfas down under?

Toyota 2000GT

[quote=f6fhellcat13;960306]Though beautiful is entirely the wrong word to describe it, handsome works a little better, the 1965 Buick Riviera is one of my favorites.[/quote]
The Lincoln Continental and the Oldsmobile Toronado should feature too. But they aren't really in the same league as some of the other cars.

[quote=henk4;960280]I think the fun is in drawing up the list and bringing all those beautiful cars together in one thread. The ultimate vote results will always be a sort of a setback. Let's not vote at all:)[/quote]
I agree :) It's fun to just see pictures of all the beautiful cars, and everyone's takes on them.
And I would like to nominate another beauty I came across once while using the random car function of the UCP car search, the Rolls Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe. Photo again courtesy of UCP.

Great pictures from UCP by the way! :)[/quote]
[quote=csl177;960255]There's more than one Alfa to be considered, for example:

None of the above should be allowed because they are all race cars.
[quote=henk4;960212]LWB Cabriolet and SWB California are two distinctly different cars.[/quote]
But absolutely wonderful.

Oh dear. Oh my lord. I didn't know that existed. I think you've changed my life a bit. It looks like one of those "modern take on a classic shape" sort of things (like the [URL="http://www.drivelineblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/efijy4.jpg"]Holden Efigy[/URL]), but it's not. It looks fantastic!

The 250GTO and DB4 GT Zagato, yes... but the Giulia SS isn't a race car, nearly 2800 were built between 1959 and 1965.

My bad. I just love that car so much! Can it still be allowed Kooper?

Sorry, that was knee jerk - I saw it as a Disco Volonte.

probably ridiculous.. the one for sale merely had an EOI sticker on it with contact details.
for an equivalent idea of price probably wouldn't pay more than a specced up honda jazz on the non-special models? i mean it sure as shit wasn't a giula sprint but had the same nice body shape.

I think they start at about $20k for that sort of Alfa, in any condition worth considering. That's from memory though, I've not gone poking about for them in a while.
