 |  Autos that could be sculptures in a museum -

Some vehicles are more like Fine Art than mere machines. These are cars that I just want to look at as much (or more) as drive. I love all types of cars from Classic sports cars and limousines to high-tech carbon fibre concept cars ...but some cars really excite me. The Artist knows exactly what I mean with his obsession with the Pagani Zonda ...I am obsessed with several cars. Here are a few of the cars that I dream about .....their style and beauty is timeless in my opinion. Voisin C15 Saloit Roadster .....There are few cars I have ever seen that equal it's beauty.  Rolls-Royce Phantom II (Coachbuilt by Figoni et Falaschi)  Rolls-Royce Phantom III Coachbuilt by Gurney Nutting)   Mercedes-Benz 300S/300SC  Bentley S1 Continental (Coachbuilt by Mulliner)   Mercedes-Benz 300SL  Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder   Rolls-Royce Phantom V (Coachbuilt by James Young)  Mercedes-Benz 600 (Großer Mercedes) Some of you already know that I worship this car.    Citroën SM ......it's kind of what Picasso might have created if he was a car designer.  Lamborghini Miura  Ferrari F430 (Imola)  There are of course so many more ...but I'll let you guys contribute some of your favourite cars. |

Porsche 356 - the car that marked the start of 911 era.  Mercedes SLR - Hate it or love it but designwise this is one of the greatest cars every built the latest 20 years.  |
