Hi folks -- what do you think were the best cars ever? In your personal life? Overall, even if you had no way to afford them?

A few I can list here (I can list many, many, more, and so can you!):

1. The Ford Model T -- no car did more to transform the 20th century than the mass assembled Model T

2. The VW Beetle -- a symbol of Germany rising form the ashes of WWII.

3. The Porsche 911 -- what do expect from someone who owns own! Sustained excellence in aesthetics and performance, from 1965 to the present.

4. BMC Mini, 1959 -- it started the front wheel drive revolution in a big way; cars for the working classes in Great Britain.

5. 1929 Bentley Lemans -- a brute.

6. Mercedes Gullwing 300 SL -- a car that again brought Germany to the forefront of automoible technology in the early 1950s. "We are back."

7. Duesenberg SJ and SSJ -- Maybe the greatest of the greatest

8. Bugatti Royale -- there is a new mdoel also with this brand name.

9. Ferarri 250 GTB -- one of the best of a long line of great cars from Italy

10. 1955 Chevrolet -- an American classic from the Golden Age (1950s) of automobiles in America. the common person's performance car from that period. "See the USA in your Chevrolet."
