Naturally beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but here are my top two. . .

Easy answer. I am possible just a tiny big prejudiced. My 1985 911. I bought it in 1995. It makes me smail every time I see it.

Gotta be my '56 coupe. Flames, spinner hubcaps, fender skirts, dingle balls around the windshield, pink fuzzy dice, coon tail - it had it all back in the day.

To me it's the '79 T/A I bought in '87. It was silver with a red interior.
See, in my teen years Trans Ams represented money, class, and being beautiful. Problem was, I couldn't afford one, so I was stuck with being dull and envious. Then one day, with the turn of that key, everything clicked. I realized I had arrived. I had a good job, a nice house, a husband, and maybe I was pretty. All because I bought the car I always yearned for.

356 C coupe in Dolphin Grey (6410) and black interior

The M491 911 we sold to Shaun would be a good second place

My old '88 911 targa. Probably #2 is my current '08 Boxster S, and No 3 is my old Mazdaspeed Miata.
