Hard to beat these... by lemko

The 1961 Chevrolet Impala two-door hardtop is practically perfect!

The bubbletops were a nice design. The curvy A-pillar was a nice touch too.
 
The 4-door hardtops weren't exactly offensive in 61 either.
 

 
(not easy to find a good pic of one)

A couple of years ago a buddy of mine sold one that looked exactly like that (283 CID under the hood). IMO the '61 Impala was the best looking Chevy ever with the possible exception of the 1970 Malibu two-foors.

The 61s are nice. Any of the early 60s Chevies are nice. Hard to believe the change after the batmobiles of 59.

Am standing corrected with previous poster documentation on American Graffitti black Chev. Obviously that was a 55 in the movie and styling was very good. Still like black Chevy 57 2-door hardtop a lot and see it from time to time in car shows in my area.
 
In 4-door category, the 77 to early 80's Chevy Caprice had very nice clean styling. Think this model is popular in LA and with guys that put hydraulics in to have cars jump around.
,
Best Camaros were 68, RS model, and 71, Z28. When 70.5 Camaros and twin Firebird were introduced, car magazines most generally gave very high marks to these cars for "Italian" influenced styling. Never undertood why GM chose to retro the 69 Camaro in that it was one of the worst styled Camaros excepting the fat/bulbous Camaros from late 80s' till 2002.

We're in agreement, the 70.5 Camaros & F-Birds were the best looking, even if they got too big. One of my beefs with the Retro Camaro is that it is just too large, the same goes for the Challenger.

My beef with the Challenger is that it's not a true two-door hardtop.

2010 Mustang by texases

I saw the new Mustang at the auto show - I'm disappointed. The headlights shrank, the hood bulged, and the side scoop is barely there. I've read it's a much better car to drive, but none of the styling changes are what I'd call an improvement.

Please define a "true" two-door hardtop.
