The thread's subject is "Most beautiful automobile," and I still have not picked one despite having what is arguably a Freeman Thomas bauhaus masterpiece sitting in my driveway.
FWIW, it had a starring role in my wedding, and will some day be the centerpiece of our living room in the Garage Mahal.....

Everyone so far is posting classics, but if you guys ever get your hands on these, would you enjoy it for what it is...? They are all beautiful but I don't think I would ever want to drive them, or they would need some srs restomodding cuz I'd imagine it would be like driving in a cardboard box relatively-speaking.

A well-known Northeastern restoration shop shared with me years ago that prospective buyers of their restored E30 M3s were surprised by the car's driving dynamics. No kidding, right – a thirty-year old suspension design wasn't driving and responding like the newer, high-end performance cars they were daily-driving. Whodathunkit? The attraction of classics is the desire to enjoy a particular and irreplaceable type of experience. The nature of that experience is specific to the individual buyer or owner. All of the issues those cars have compared with many of today's cars aren't at all the subject under discussion. We want them because of what they represent, not what they are. This is fundamental to understanding the collector mindset and that of former owners.

A polite reminder that this thread was designed to discuss styling only; power output, handling, reliability, cost, etc., discussions are for another thread.
For example, my own nominee, the 1960s Jaguar E-type is not a great example of reliability and maintainability. I would not own one. But it sure is easy on the eyes!

Given the popularity of the Ferrari 288 GTO in this thread, I can add a few more photos and some information. My copy of the book Original Ferrari V-8 by Keith Bluemel includes a chapter on the 288 GTO. Here are a few scans of pages from that chapter.
