We have heard men claim that they don’t care what kind of car they drive as long as it can get them from Point A to Point B. This is something that we have overheard. Those fellows are liars for sure. Who wouldn’t want to be the proud owner of a vehicle that attracts more attention than a bikini car wash? It’s possible that these individuals have never experienced anything other than driving old jalopies and have no knowledge of anything else. So, these are the vehicles that they should be familiar with. These 10 classic automobiles exemplify what it means to be cool.
Ferrari Dino 246 GT (1969)
The Ferrari Dino 246 GT is a car with curvaceous lines that was designed to be driven quickly and with a personality. Any auto enthusiast who wants their ride to appear more opulent than it actually feels would benefit greatly from purchasing this accessory.
Mustang Boss 429 (1969)
When they have to modify the body of a Mustang simply to make room for your insanely big engine, you know you’re getting some serious power. When you were driving about, there’s no way you wouldn’t want to put the windows down, roll them up, and listen to that sound. Which would be a smart move considering that, due to the dimensions of the engine, there was no room for any sort of air conditioning.
Aston Martin DB5 (1964)
If James Bond thinks it’s cool, then we definitely think it’s cool too. You’d be hard-pressed not to choose the DB5 if you had to choose just one vehicle that James Bond relied on the most, and the one from Goldfinger would look pretty sweet in our garage next to the beer cans and lawn care products. If you had to choose just one vehicle that James Bond relied on the most, which vehicle would you choose?
Maserati Ghibli 4.7 (1969)
The intimidating and shark-like profile of the front end of the Maserati Ghibli is reason enough to put it at the top of this list. In addition, the Maserati brand lends it a considerable amount of gravitas. Simply put, this automobile is the thing that the Mazda Miata fantasizes about becoming when it goes to bed at night.
Jaguar E-Type (1961)
Everyone agrees that the Jaguar brand is the epitome of chic, regardless of how you choose to pronounce its name (Jag-u-ar or Jagwar). In 1961, Jaguar introduced the E-Type, which was immediately met with widespread acclaim. It is sufficient in our eyes if Enzo Ferrari referred to it as “The most beautiful car ever produced,” since that is exactly how we feel about it.
Sehlby Cobra 427 (1966)
Anything that has Carroll Shelby’s name connected to it is automatically interesting and worth your time. The Shelby 427 Cobra, which features an amazing power-to-weight ratio, has a little bit more giddyup than your Corolla does. In addition, the several hundred thousand dollars that you would have to spend for one will seem like a nothing when compared to the five and a half million dollars that was paid for the ’66 Shelby 427 Cobra Super Snake.
Mercedes 300SL Gullwing (1957)
This car is one of the greatest cars that has ever been driven on the road, and the doors are just one of the reasons why. The fact that at the time of its manufacture, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was the world’s fastest production car implies that traveling to your advertising meetings in Manhattan won’t be a chore for you.
Alfa Rome Spider Duetto (1966)
We can’t help but feel the want to take this car out for a spin through the Tuscan countryside, pulling down sometimes to sample the vino produced in the area. In addition, if you can buy a car that is both stylish and has enough space for your belongings, then my buddy, you have just won the lottery. It works wonderfully as a place to put all of the pieces of paper that have phone numbers written on them.
Dodge Charger (1969)
We do know one thing about the 1969 Dodge Charger, and that is that it has excellent aerodynamics. At least, that is what we took away from our conversation with Bo and Luke Duke. Whether or not it’s a General Lee, the 1969 Charger is a stunning automobile in and of itself. It is possible that it may never receive the same amount of attention as its Mustang contemporaries typically do, but the fastback look and all-American style will always be in style.
Toyota 2000GT (1969)
If you’re picking up on a James Bond reference here and there, you’ve got a good eye. Although James Bond’s car had a convertible top, the 1969 Toyota 2000GT was already a gorgeous car without having a convertible option available. The design, in general, and the elongated front end in particular give it a sense that is far more reminiscent of an Italian roadster than of anything you could consider buying because of its “dependable gas mileage.”
