While I previously gave my opinion - the incomparable E-type - this American icon deserves to be mentioned in any discussion of the height of automotive styling excellence. To this day, the "shield" grille remains iconic. (Of course, it doesn't look complete without some guys in dark suits leaning pointing tommy guns out the windows, but what the heck...)
It's not always about the swooply lines and streamlining of GT and sports cars.
