Perhaps one criterion for a good list would be that it can pass the following test:

Place any two of the selected cars in this sentence without it appearing ridiculous.

"I can't quite decide if I want to purchase a _________________ or a ___________________ as my ideal sports car."

For example 300SL Gullwing & Mazda Miata wuld not work well in that sentence..

Early does not mean 1960's - sports cars are at least 30 or 40 years older than that.

early Aston?

Stutz?
