I'd like to nominate the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato.
Great pictures from UCP by the way!

^^^ I second.
Along with the Lusso, SL, 504 Cabrio, XK-E, 507, Delahaye, etc., etc. Will include the BMW E9 series since we own two, but absolutely agree they mimic Ferrari's 330/365 GT2+2. That's one reason I've always liked them (besides not being able to afford the Ferraris!)
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
I get the feeling that this list will get very long, very quickly. Perhaps a more scientific voting method is required.. a knockout comp or preferential voting or something.
Life's too short to drive bad cars.
I wouldn't have thought of it, but credit must go to the Citroen - it is a really, really nice car.
^^^ Please explain? BMW's 507 is iconic precisely because it doesn't copy any of it's competitors, certainly nothing from Mercedes.

There are some similarities in body design.
But as i wrote, this is a subjective opinion, and is probably based around that i love the 300SL, and therefor feel that the 507 is a coupe of the first sportscar, which came 2 years earlier - The SL.
Which leeds me to thinking. Maybe we should put the cars in era's or decades?

After seeing the Merc above, I'd have to also suggest the Merc 300SL. It's just stunning, and it was what, the fastest road car in the world at the time? Incredible. Not that its speed has anything to do with its looks, but it is a looker.
All about the t-tops
The voting is a bit of a pointless exercise, but will put up some polls later on if for no other reason than to have a sort of list of what the UCP community as a whole considers the most beautiful.
We might end up with quite a few polls, but science demands it
How about we have a knock-out type procedure where the top 3 of each poll make it to the next round and so on and so forth until we end up with a grand finale?
I'm going for something a bit different although not quite sure if it fits with the rules.
The Isdera Commendatore 112i, loved it from the moment i saw it, the design details make this car, the red chassis, the way the doors and engine hood is 'cut' in the shape, the rear view mirror, etc.
If it can't be that one i vote for the TVR Sagaris.

Though beautiful is entirely the wrong word to describe it, handsome works a little better, the 1965 Buick Riviera is one of my favorites.
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.
