It's amazing how many people here are selecting 50 or 60 year old cars over recent models. Maybe we need to find the professional organization for car designers and send them a link to this thread. I know it would be a lot more interesting to see cars resembling these older models on the road every day than looking at the current sea of Rogues and Corollas.
Tough choice for me. Probably a 2008-2012 Aston Martin DBS in silver; first and foremost, it is GORGEOUS, but it's also comfortable inside (i.e. easy to live with) and offers a manual transmission. A close second would be the Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS in dark blue with silver accents.
I got to drive a friend's 1979 Coupe de Ville once. It felt like gliding on a cushion of air. Biggest car I've ever driven, and the first time I ever had to pump gas in by lifting the rear license plate! My parents' Nova had that feature, too, but that car was long gone before I got my license.
My friend also had a 1991 Brougham. Black and the inside was all red plush, like a boudoir on wheels! You could see that car coming from really far away! Blows away the modern stylings!!
Now he's so much more conventional, driving the same Kia Forte you see every one and their brother driving today!

The body styles were so much more distinctive in those days. No one would mistake a 1959 Buick Invicta for a Ford Fairlaine or an Edsel of the same year. The '57 Bel Air is the symbol of the 1950's, hands down. You can't say that about any car today.

They would if they weren't interested in that era of car. In fact, there's a lot of people that can't identify anything of that era other than knowing what era it's from. I'm a member of a forum where interesting cars are posted that are seen in traffic and a LOT of people snap pictures of cars of that era and ask "what old car is this?"
I'll bet you know what ERA this car is from, but you don't know what it is (and you'll think it looks like a number of different cars):
