Timeless Automotive Designs
Driving around in the area I just moved to, I have noticed a LOT of gorgeous vehicles. Some, even though they've been around for a few years, I still find their designs timeless.
Here are my choices for this topic:
Porsche 993
Mercedes-Benz SL500
Mercedes CLS55
What are yours?

In terms of classic automotive design, I love just about anything ( lots of vehicles) designed by Harley Earl, the Leonardo DaVinci of his genre.  |

There are so many cars that I would consider for this. Some old, some new, but if I had to choose just one to highlight. It would be the Honda NSX.

E46 M3...I see that car everyday, and I don't think I would ever stop liking it. The flared fenders, wide tires. The looks mean business.

Timless designs...the original Porsche 911 nothing with flared fenders or whale tails.
My favorite of all time the Ferrari 246 Dino Spyder.
How about a 1962 Lincoln Continental 4 door.
I don't think anything today is going down in auto history as timeless.

I'm serious. Think of how long it has been around. |

I thought this both timeless and a classic. 1965 Buick riviera.

1991-95 Acura Legend. The most timeless car of them all.

Go ahead and laugh, but I always thought that the first-generation GM F-bodies (Firebird, Camaro), was one of the General's better designs.
I also agree with those who mentioned the 911 series, and the E46 M3.

I would add the Mustang to that list, more than 40 years and still going strong...
