Best looking car of all time

In keeping with Nappy's theme, this seemed the next logical step.
What's the best looking street car of all time?

My votes, in no particular order:

'53 Studebaker Starlight Coupe
3rd generation RX-7
Ford GT40 MkIII
Jag Series 1 E-Type
Jag XKSS
Aston Martin DB4-GT
Lotus Elan (1st gen)
Cord 810/812

Toyota Echo

Remind me to tell you about my wife's friend who spent something like 12 years rebuilding an E-Type.

Ditto

I also always had a place for American muscle - especially Mopar. The Hemi Cuda or Challenger just reek horsepower.

The GT40 was definitely sold by Ford as a street car. I don't think the Daytona ever was since they're ultra-rare, but I'll take the 427 Cobra if that one's not allowed.

Yup, it's on my list as well.
The MkIII was the street car.

I should have a subclass for very cool, but not necessarily pretty...

Lancia Stratos
'67 Mazda Cosmo/L110B
Triumph TR250/TR5

[911]

Porsche 911 (i.e. '73 Carrera RS and/or '98 Carrera 4S)
Cobra 427
GT40
1964 Ferrari 250 GT (I think..it's the one they raced at Sebring that year)

I was going to go back and add the Stratos, but forgot. I always loved that car. Especially the Alitalia rally version.
