Default True Classics...

There are alot of cars out there that seem to have a timeless design and never seem to go out of style. Some of these include the old Jaguar XK's, AC Cobras, any Ferrari, Lambo, C1, C2 and C3 Vettes, Viper RT10 and GTS's. What are some others you can think of? Should C4, C5 and Gen3 Vipers be in this list or is it to soon to tell? Post pics if you got them...

Ummm...













I think this shows the timeless styling of the C4 with its beautiful curves that hint at C3 and its slenderness that screams performance :thumbs: And then there's the clamshell hood, targa top, headlights...:D

:cheers:

The C-4 should be added to that list. I was at Watkins Glen this weekend and looked at our baby parked next to many other Vettes and various "sports cars" and it just stands out as a great design. I guess a good way to judge whether a design is "classic" is to look at it versus today's designs and also think about the other cars on the road when that car came out. The 84 C-4 was certainly an instant classic when you look at all the geeky cars from 83 when the "most technologically advanced car on earth" arrived (see photo below) . :D
