Lets Take The Bus Again

I remember when I first saw the 1950’s  GM Futurliner at the Meadowbrook Concours event in 2006.  So retro with the streamlined Deco like styling yet so cool and in red and white soooo 1950’s.  The previous January it sold for a jaw-dropping $4 million.  This is an excellent example of one of 12 built and designed by the Godfather of GM design, Harley Earl.  Back when design meant something to American car companies, Mr. Earl turned out many attractive vehicles. Big and bold.  Sleek and voluminous. What an example of great design, not too goopy or over done.  Design with a purpose, to make a statement and not the least bit superfluous or indulgent.

What cars do you think stand out as extraordinarily cool?
