ETA: Anecdotal story... I have a retro Thunderbird. SOME women have a thing for Thunderbirds - guys do not. (Russian gf is one of those women.) Women driving Escalades smile and talk to me at red lights. I do not know why this is. My car is neither expensive or fast. Women say it is "sexy", whatever that means.
The thing about this car; is it is different and set apart without implying a member of the rat race.
It has both an implied sense of power and a manifest sensation of tranquility.
It carries an aura that you love nice things, yet are are confident and comfortable enough with who you are to not need something au courant.
