why I detest Bernie

We had a Morgan plus 4 in the family for a few years. My mom, a chubby Mennonite lady, absolutely loved driving it around town. I wasn't allowed to drive it due to earlier auto mishaps. My brothers and I have owned quite a few Brit sports cars and I retain a strong affinity for the breed (though I'd have to be waterboarded before buying/working on another).

Still, yes, I think that is a beautiful automobile. And I accept your aesthetic challenge. What do you consider an example of beauty in automotive design, farmerbub?

I once saw an italian car exhibit with a lot of cars I liked from the early days - but I forget the names, even the precise looks I liked.

Here's a pretty thing (to me) -

Bugatti Royal T-41 Weinberger Cabriolet

I have a photo of my father and another fellow leaning on the other fellow's Cord (Roadster?) - hmm, hey Dys, can I use your scanner one of these days? I wouldn't mind identifying it further..

By chance or tasteful intuition, you've pointed to the nameplate which, in my view, includes the most beautiful cars ever designed (by both father and son).

Three examples:
