What car turns your head?

I still have to turn my head when a well kept Mitsubishi 3000GT drives by.  I don't know why but I have always loved the body style and general look of that model. And lately, I must say I have to turn and check out the little Smartcars from Mercedes.  They go on three cyclinders?  Amazing.

well I own a 93 corvette, and every time I see one like mineI can't help but look at it . so I guess that is a head turner.

Another couple of favorites of mine would be the 1963 Corvette with the split wrap-around rear window and the 1963 Thunderbird.

The one that hits your bumper always makes my head turn... whiplash! (Ha ha, sorry, I couldn't resist).

Actually, for years it was a mustang, but they don't do much for me anymore. I saw a little Smart car yesterday, and it definitely made me look.

Any eye catching car causes me to turn my head. For example: any classic car from the 1950's or earlier, limousines always make me look twice, and I have to throw in, for good measure, a motorcycle with a side-car can make my head turn.

The Cadillac CTS in bronze (one day I shall drive one) is the most beautiful car floating down the highways of America these days.  I kept pace with one my way home from the East coast last month and I could hardly keep my eyes of it.  The CTS is poetry in motion, a brawny but beautiful testament to the ability of an American car company to still build a quality automobile.  Close runner up the BMW M3 and the Lexus GS...   but watch Lincoln, the car maker looks alive again with the stellar looking MKS           

I'm with you, Bard.....but the one that has my name on it is Candy Apple Red. Go grannie go!!!

Of course there's always a 1931 Ford Model "A" 5 Window Coupe and the Victoria "Vicky" Coupe.

I'll throw in a 1930 Deusenberg "J" and a 1914 Stutz Bearcat for good measure.

Wow the 1996 dodge truck, jacked up, 35 inch tires, and I have one!  LOL  Its black and pretty!  And I'd have to say 1999 Trans am, t-top, ram air, 8 cilendars, black.  I want one.  I had a 1995 red firebird that I loved but had to sell it.  And for alot less then it was worth.  I miss it.  and also the new mustangs look good.  i'd live to have one of those to.  I also like the older mustangs 67, 68 style.

What's funny is that I'm not really into cars, but I LOVE the 2009 Dodge Charger!  If I didn't have kids, and had lots of money, I would buy that baby!  :-)

Cute and smart to boot.  Any car made with a motherboard is disposable.  It goes downhill from there.  I bought a 73' Ford and the mechanics at the Ford dealer all agreed that it will outlast any vehicle built today.  That's why I bought it.

An oldie but a goodie - I just love the older Corvettes. I like the newer Jaguars. For my husband there is only one vehicle, no matter what the year or what else is out there - the Dodge Ram pickup truck!

I used to watch the re-runs of the show "Route 66." I love that Corvette convertible! They used a new one every year, but I think it was around 1963ish. Because it was filmed in black and white, the car was beige and white to make the best contrast on film. I know it wouldn't be the most popular color choice, but I want the beige and white, so I can be just like Buzz and Todd, driving around all devil-may-care and having cool adventures!!!
