Well, I liked the Avanti better but  you picked a good one. Designed by 
Raymond Loewy's staff (mainly Bob Bourke and Holden Koto), it won Motor 
Trends award for the most aesthetically styled car. Most industrial designers 
say it was the best of the fifties and it is called by some, "the most 
beautiful car ever mass-produced in America". The only trouble I had with 
naming it in front of the Avanti is the fact that it's basic style, with 
slight facelifts, was around for 12 years culminating with the Hawk GT. 
Although that is a fantastic record of longevity; for me, seeing it year 
after year from age 18 to 30, diminished it's luster.
