If you want to keep it to fords then I dont think they got there act togther until the late 40's and 50's.



Sure 30's ford look good modified, but stock they are not that inspiring.

My favourite.. the AU1/2 T-Series cars, particularly the TS50.






Best looking front end on any late model ('86-'06) Ford IMO.

XY GT HO and XA Coupe.

For late models probably a BF GT.

Ive always liked the look of 1964-1969 Mustangs, especially the convertables.

From the Aussie Ford camp its the XW GT and XY GT without question.

2 of the best cars to be ever be produced here in Australia. IMO

ooh so many.
i like the 40's 50's 60's shapes. probably couldnt narrow it down to a favourite.

Aussie, id probably say, in stock form, an XP coupe.

or
any, a 40 ford pickup.



favourite modified is a totally different story....... :nutsycuck

As for the local Aussie built cars, not in order but i've always liked the XT Falcon,XY Falcon the T-Series and of cause the best looking Falcon's yet the BA & BF series.

1950 Ford Tudor...above anything else.

I adore ZG Fairlanes, XBs, XAs, etc... but 50's Tudors or Victorias are both art, beauty and beast all at once.

Behold.
