you know, i do appreciate the effort, but i feel like you're really spamming this topic with just slapping in any car you can find.

the title is 'most beautiful cars ever', i don't see why there's a need to slam in every 2018 car, add some 90's f1 cars, and also, for real, VEAUXHALL ASTRA?

Early `70s Bolwell Nagari, sort of a homegrown Aussie equivalent to the Sunbeam Tiger, of a few years earlier.
( Both used small-block Ford V8 power).
Nagari has hints of Lambo Miura, & Tiger clearly has early Ford Thunderbird influence - in their styling.

Yeah, Johnny, there is a newer Bolwell, but IMO, it does not make the cut - for this thread..

This ~50 year old Mercedes-Benz C 111 does, though..

& it seems the Maser Merak shows a styling cue influence - via that flash Merc:

Glad that someone remembered the C111, it had several versions, stating 1969!, from wankel to diesel (further info here - http://mercedesblog.com/mercedes-benz-c ... kel-heart/)

In 'Get Smart', Max had a number of different 'foreign cars', the Tiger, an Opel coupe, & even a VW Karman Ghia.

Here is a Chrysler-Ghia (De Soto Adventurer II) concept car from 1954:

In this view, you can see the influence it had on the Mk10 Jaguar, & from the front, also the Ford Zephyr Mk2.
In fact, the Mk3 Zephyr featured a close ( if toned-down some, for British tastes) copy of the finned 300c tail..

Agree, this is screaming for a closed canopy, otherwise the work they did to reduce drag does look unfinished
