    I think it was mentioned earlier that this thread turned into the cars that the individual likes..There is a list of Milestone Design Automobiles that changed things..even if you don't care for the 33 Ford, 48 Cadillac, the 55 Nomad, the 53 Studebaker or the 63 Riviera ,they have to be on that list.....

    4) 56 Ford Pickup
    5) 60 Starliner

    just my opinion..
