15 MOST Beautiful Vintage Cars Ever Made

Cars are the most convenient modes of personal travel of all, with more than a billion believed to be owned worldwide… but, while most are simply designed to be a way to get from one place to another, some manufacturers create theirs to be so stunning that they’re virtually works of art in their own right. This is nothing new, of course, and the most sought-after vehicles are decades old… so fasten your seatbelts, and prepare for a journey into the past, as we take a look at the 15 most beautiful vintage cars.

Citroen DS should be slotted ahead of half the cars on this list.

[@box4859]

My list would be sooo different. Not a single Deusenburg, Talbot Lago, Delahaye, Isotta Fraschini, Hispano Suiza or Ruxton among them.

[@mogenscamre3762]

Agree. This list is made by someone whos knowledge of cars is inferior

[@michaelcelani8325]

[@michelcoutu6332]

[@fanuelmuluneh3127]

You forgot the Citroen DS It placed third in the 1999 Car of the Century poll recognizing the world's most influential auto designs and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine. Look it up

[@MrCatlover]

Indeed! The original Citroen DS is the best looking car ever! If Citroen had been better managed it could have been still produced like the case with Porsche 911, but you could have the outer look of DS 99% true the original!

[@jeremyashford2115]

I’d have the Citroen SM on my list. Saw one in the wild yesterday. A real blast from the past. Everyone was looking at it, most wondering what the hell it was. I might go for my first car too: the light fifteen.

[@MrCatlover]

@@jeremyashford2115 Jay Leno has a Citroen SM in his collection, and he said if the rain is really pouring down then he gets some better view through the front mirror of his SM than from his other cars! Interesting remark!

[@FishNFoolLures]

@fanuelmuluneh3127 This is the best looking car list not the ugliest LOL Citroens are right up there with the AMC Pacer and the Fiat Multipla

[@slimsantilli4476]

[@pathowe4787]

If Enzo Ferrari said the e-type Jaguar was the most beautiful car ever made, its good enough for me

[@marcbahn5487]

He was right of course.

[@RayThackeray]

How all those other beaters rated above the E-Type is beyond me.

[@moreaufamily437]

No love for the Lancia Stratos? Deusenberg Model J? Packard speedster? Plymouth road runner?

Alfa 8c 2.900 ?

[@privatechannel8462]

I think my list would only have the Cobra on it from this one

[@nathanlong8295]

The lancia stratos is a beautiful rally car but not a beautiful sports car.

[@privatechannel8462]

@Nathan Long no. The Stratos, looks better than all of the ones on the list, the Cobra coming a close second. Rallye or sports.

[@fifthbusiness1678]

It’s limited to 15

[@winstonelston5743]

Where is the Avanti? This fiberglass supercar designed by John Ebstein, Bob Andrews, and Tom Kellogg under direction of Raymond Loewy and with top power provided by a supercharged five-liter Studebaker engine prepared by Andy Granatelli (rumor was that Granatelli wouldn't ship an R3 engine until it had turned 415 BHP on the dyno), it set twenty-nine records at Bonneville Speed Week. While Studebaker produced 4,643 examples, only five came from the factory with the R3 engine. The supercharged Studebaker R2 289 (completely different from the similar-size but unrelated Ford 289) was quite a stormer and even the normally aspirated R1 was no slouch in the context of the day. That the Avanti was the cleanest and most graceful design of the twentieth century doesn't hurt its desirability, either.

[@greggcollins4215]

The Miura, XKE, Dino and the 507 should be the top 4 out of this list.

[@damionnefelsch6546]

We had chargers in Australia then. I almost bought a white 71 fastback as my first car from my best mate whose family owned the wreakers on the Goldie or a Cortina wagon which required little work to be street legal in 1990. The charger was all original even the hemi sang like a dream. The interior however, lacked everything except the gear stick, the screens the pedals, only the steering column and the side mirrors. Everything else was rare to find and more expensive than gold at the time. I feel I would still be looking for parts today and back then, I needed a car. I regretted that decision as soon as I signed the bill of sale. Thank you for including this beautiful car.

[@VintageOld10]

beautiful

[@twhatty2537]

Any list of “most beautiful vintage cars” that doesn’t include a Deusenberg is worthless.

[@SJMS0711]

Amazing video ❤❤❤

[@Rogerjatsu]

So beautiful

[@n0w3lly90]

I'm not sure I agree with that choice of 15 in all honesty. Mind you, it is entirely subjective. There are many iconic car designs missing from that list, e.g. the Talbot-Lago T150S. I would say there were better looking Ferraris than the 250GTO, e.g. the 250 Tour de France, or SWB, even the California GT Spider would compete on looks alone. Even some of their more contemporary cars were very good looking: the Daytona, the Dino, the 308/328 GTBs, the F40, the 355, etc.. Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, and for Aston, the DB4 GT Zagato is the most desirable contemporary car they made. The GT40 deserves a mention in place of one of the American designs, possibly even a Deusenberg deserved a spot too

[@adoreslaurel]

Love the way he flings that car around in the dirt and fills the supercharger with grit.

[@pauldavis6390]

In my opinion The best looking Aston Martin of the eras being looked at, is the DB4 GT Zagato.

[@dennisdose5697]

More a list of popular fifties and sixties cars than a well thought out list of great designs. Agree with the comments on the DB4 Zagato for the best Aston. Saw one in person once, great looker. Admit to a soft spot for classic Zagato design work. Love Gandini's Stratos but am not sure beautiful is the best description, excitingly chunky with a side helping of brutal maybe? Have seen one in person also. Brilliant design solution on such a short, challenging chassis. Love. My top 3 post war are, at the moment in no particular order, the xkss, Miura, and the 53 Maserati A6gcs pininfarina coupe, short nose. Probably the Maserati for the top, leaves me gobsmacked like nothing else.😍👌🎵

[@davearbuthnut241]

I totally agree. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but his is no more than a list of iconic cars. Where's the Alfa Romeo Guilia spider? the RR Silver Ghost? BTW, I also loved the Stratos, but as you point out, it's more a statement of form following function than classical beauty.

[@michaelcelani8325]

Maserati 3500 GT.....nice. !!!

[@bob_._.]

Wow, Shelby could see the future! He made those Mustangs from the '60s look just like today's.

[@FishNFoolLures]

If you had a brain you would know Ford made the Mustangs of today look like the originals, as you cant improve on perfection.

[@rasmika3439]

[@wildcolonialman]

Well, a fabulous list no doubt. Interesting selection. Bucket loads of competition for that list though. Especially vintage.

[@basilbcf]

I happily still have my 67 E-Type roadster, which I have owned since 1980 (second owner). I also had a 67 Coupe in high school, which I sold when I joined the Air Force in 72.

[@VickiePietz]

I had a charger special edition i loved that car also had a challenger. I. Still love muscle cars

[@hueymontgomery9508]

I love the Shelby mustang, Dodge Charger R/T, Lamborghini Miura, and the Chevy Corvette because I would say, they're pretty iconic, great power, fast, smooth and *LEGEND!*

[@balasubramaniyansubbuswamy5348]

Very comfortable and wonderful performance that gives a excellent feeling to the person who likes driving

[@fifthbusiness1678]

Great list for the most part - good to see the BMW 507 and Toyota GT2000 on it - but the Ferrari Dino? And isn’t the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantique the most beautiful car ever made?

[@davidellis4031]

While none of these cars look bad, this is really a list of very expensive and rare vintage cars that look good, rather than the most beautiful. IMO, the Karmann Ghia, Talbot Lago, some Tatras, the original Jaguar S-type and maybe even the Nissan Figaro (if it's not too new) would beat at least half of these cars. If I parked my Honda e next to any of the cars on this list, I'd bet that most non-car people would look at my compact hatchback more than the car worth 100x the price, even if some would laugh. What would be great is a video along the lines of the cheapest car when new that now looks and is worth the most.

[@victorymansions]

Jaguar XJS, Citroen Xantia, 1990 Mini Cooper S, 1989 Nissan Skyline

[@SovereignCajun78]

'51-'54 Nash Healey..

[@zorilaz]

1925 Rolls Royce Phantom Jonckheere ( body built in 1934 on a 1925 car ) is in my opinion the most beautiful car ever made. Extremely unique impossible not to look at it. Pure class.

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

That vehicle is proof that the real artists of the early 20th century went to work for car manufacturers, while pretentious hacks were drawing doodles and sculpting urinals.

[@fifthbusiness1678]

I didn’t know that model but just googled it and ... wow. You may have a point. Certainly far more beautiful than the ‘49 Rolls featured on this list. Your choice is in some way similar to my very favourite: The Bugatti Atlantique.

[@rossrreyes]

Lol I fast forwarded through the American cars

Sorry, but a 1959 Cadillac with those fishtails with double brake lights outshines any damn dodge ever made.

[@mikeweizer3149]

Kevin Jewell I don't know bout that!.Not that this is actually gonna happen but if anyone EVER parked a 1959 Dodge, especially a Custom Royal Lancer next to a 59 Cadillac of any sort I don't think that 59 Caddy has ANYTHING on a 59 Dodge!!!!.

[@brandon1661]

The Shelby Daytona is the most rare Shelby car ever made with only 6 ever being made price tag of around $8 million

[@phillipmitchell5879]

Miura should be tied for 1st. (It's not rear-engine. It's mid-engine.) A-M DB-4/GT Zagato is even more sought after by collectors for beauty & performance. Ferrari 250 Lusso, 275 GTB/4 L/N, & Bizzarini GT all would do well on this list.

[@marcstephan7650]

I agree with you. In 1987 I did a full restoration of Miura P100 #32. Yes, 275 GTB should be on the list.

[@marcstephan7650]

I ment to say P400

[@studiocalder818]

😳 Well, you are joking . it is impossible that there is not what is considered the most outstanding car in the world between the 2 wars: Alfa Romeo 8c 2.900 !!

[@ghostcat1960]

The Jaguar E-type is the most beautiful car ever made

[@roderickfernandez5382]

I don't know if it was the most beautiful car ever made but it certainly was a stupendous automobile

They are beautiful cars, still a bit of a shame Australia has never been mentioned, we have some great vehicles made only here, until recently, just check it out.

[@fiddleronthecube7835]

Dodge Viper and Dodge Challenger are some of my favorites. I always preferred the Lamborghini Countach over the other models.

This car is a monstrosity -- a congrlomoration of pieces found on classic cars but assembled in such a way as to cause one to gag.

[@overcastfriday81]

The 1938 zephyr is more attractive than every car on this list.

I think there are many glaring omissions and some very doubtful inclusions, also there seems to be some confusion about the difference between design and styling.

[@FantomWireBrian]

The missed Mustang as the most beautiful was the 69 Mach I SCJ . I had a very rare 69 1/2 build date. My car was fully loaded with options that were a mystery until the day I sold it. It was a Mustang Mach 1 SCJ with the GT package. It was black with red interior and deluxe interior. I had a council that I had never seen in one. I never saw another one at all like it , but the build sheet noted everything ordered. I was the second owner. It was good or bad timing when I purchased it. I was very interested in a Porsche 911 and really wasn't into muscle cars. The car was beautiful until I pushed it to it's limits. I'm a driver and just had to do everything McQueen did. I put it into a spin at about 95 and almost took off my right front tire. I had the low gears and it's top speed was about 115 . It was stock but I did upgrade the shifter and I had traction bars . I learned to skip second gear to stop the tire's turning and get it to move. Ironically it was the small displacement cars that were a challenge and one late night I got into a run with a 911. It was a rolling start at about 30 and the Porsche couldn't move ahead I never lost him on my left rear. I was white knuckling the wheel while he was adjusting his tie .I had one last push straight but over a slight hill. I raised the car full air and the wheels chirped three times before it straightened out . I put the pedal down full until the motor was going to come apart. We both just shut down and he waved and turned off the highway. My car looked faster and better than the Porsche , but looks are deceiving when it comes to performance. Great Performance is the most beautiful car. 😎

[@gloria88246]

I absolutely love the challenger and compared to a lot of the muscle cars today it's one of the only ones that still resembles the original!!!

[@susi-emily]

There's a 2009 Challenger near me in the UK. I love it. Originally the Charger was the better looking of the two, imo, but now it's definitely the Challenger.

[@JackF99]

I agree the Challenger the prettiest retro vehicle out there but problem with it is it's kind of a clumsy tank, built on the big Chrysler four-door chassis. To be an all-around performance car it needs its own sporty car sized chassis like the Mustang.

I can't go for anything past the 30s as beautiful. Nice yes. Rare possibly. But old hand built cars.... can't beat them. Stutz Bearcat, REO Speedwagon, Deusenbergs. Even the rare early Lamborghinis. Most latter day steel is not close IMHO.

[@terryh5526]

Sloppy use of the word "beautiful" is happening here. Unique, innovative, popular and significant are some of the words which could describe several of these cars. An example is the 427 Cobra. It is absolutely one of the most brutal looking cars ever, but not beautiful. The Cunningham C4RK is another example of a car which has absolutely brutal styling. Both of these brutes are downright stunning, but neither could be called beautiful. I would say that the Cord 810/812 should replace several cars on the list.

[@danielobrien1571]

Lots of cool cars here, specially the Charger, Corvette and both the Cobra & Shelby Mustangs. In my opinion those are the best cars on this entire list. Can't go wrong with any of them for classiness and speed.
