The Holy Grail of Ferraris: The Ferrari 250GTO. 3-liter V-12 with 295 horsepower. Current value somewhere north of 50 million dollars.
 Premiered in February 1962; 39 cars built 1962-1964. I subscribed to Road & Track magazine for many years beginning in the early 1960s and remember seeing an advertisement in the back of the magazine for a used 250GTO for, if memory serves, $8,500. It might've needed work. Oh, for a time machine!

Meh. It's pretty, but the only reason it costs that much is because it's the poster child for "alternative investments" for the 0.0001%. Makes no sense whatsoever to me, but then I don't breathe that air.

Here is a black and red VW Bug, very similar to the first car I owned. I was 18 and proud of that car.

Here's an interesting 1925 Avions Voisin C5 with Faux Cabriolet body by Besset. Avions Voisin was an aircraft company that made the transition to automobiles after World War I. The cars had powerful 100 hp engines -- good for 80 miles per hour -- and hydraulic brakes.

Of similar vintage to the French Avions Voisin in the last post, this 1925 Morris Oxford 13.9 hp Tourer gives off a rather older vibe, which is understandable considering that it had begun production in 1913.
While the car is charming in an antique way, it also makes ones appreciate our modern cars that insulate the passengers from the weather!

In 1964 Morgan decided to put out a modern-appearing car. I believe the mechanicals were much the same as their traditional models, but the body -- of fiberglass -- was a huge leap for Morgan. They planned on making 50 of the new model, called the Plus Four Plus, but the reception was lukewarm and, in the end, only 26 were produced.
