Of the cars listed I picked the Chrysler 300, which is actually my second. My favorite is the Duesenberg SSJ or really any Duesenberg with a Murphy or Bonham & Schwartz body.

1968 Dodge Charger. Like the one in Bullitt.
UCP FTW!!!!!!!!!!!
From the list, I pick the '57 Chrysler 300-C. Nice and big, fins, powerful (375 hp engine; 390 hp optional), 140+ mph top speed.
'76 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine, '95 Lincoln Town Car.
It's a tough choice between the Cord, the Auburn, the Studebaker and the Lincoln. I am going with the Auburn because its a classic, its very good looking and it was sort of the first outrageous American car. However, it would have been tough to vote against a Duesy.
out of that lot, the tucker torpedo. it was advanced for it's time too, wasn't it?

I voted for the 300c, but a Continental Mark II would have to come first.
The Studebaker Avanti, closely followed by the Corvair. There was a time when American manufacturers turned out cars that did not all look alike.
tops the list for me
in green please
may be the original C2 Gran Sport...

I like all your choices
'Coolness' is pretty subjective of course and also dependent on the era. For me the immediate pre & post-war era is hard to beat overall, paticularly Art Deco. Imho the '34 Desoto coupe just pips an Imperial Airflow for cool, notwithstanding those wonderful triple-layer bumpers on the latter. Others I like include those initial, rakish (Lincoln) Continental 3-window coupes with the flawed V12, plus early-edition postwar 'Bathtub' Nash coupes with that free-standing 'pod' gauge cluster. Rating especially high .. if it qualifies within your provisos .. would be the totally funky Stout Scarab
But I voted along with Clutch for the Tucker as having an overall depth of cool beyond even the Scarab, and to make up my trifecta why not throw in pics of the exhuberantly comical 'Spirit of Motion' Graham sharknose model (Mickey Mouse style) .. factory-Supercharged of course!
