    gets my vote.

    a few Ferrari F1 cars would be up there too. (sharknose, 641, etc)

    Sharknose - Definitely +1

    The 641 OTOH is an awesome example of a "classic" F1 car, but it isn't "pretty" IMHO. I kind of feel the same way about the Lotus 72....

    The other choices made above certainly beget no argument from me ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Tough call. For me it would have to be the Lola T70 Spider in Sunoco colors if we are talking 60's race cars. Followed by the Ferrari 330 P4.

    The 917K is just stunning when it comes to design.

    I found a 550A spider very remarkable car as well:

    Going to have to be another vote for the P4. It just does things to me.

    "Pretty" has certain connotations--more Maryann that Ginger--so while I prefer her more voluptuous big sister, this is definitely the prettiest:

    Toss-up between the RX-792P and the XJR14 for me (unfortunately, I can't find any worth while pixs)

    Jaguar has some beauties, C, D, E XK 120, XK 220

    This is 1 of my favorite Jags

    For me Jags are 2nd only to Ferraris in great looking cars, too bad the new ones blow, so do the new F's though

    These days Porsche and AM have the best looking sports cars, even Vettes look better than most Ferraris
