1947 Crosley Coupe.  I’m not familiar with this model. Love the spare tire.

Another of those "it's so ugly it's cute" cars.

That car was ahead of its time.

Huh.  I usually love Delahayes, but this one has a few bits that aren’t up to its usual flowy design.  That front bumper actually looks broken in the middle.  Not the best way of tying the two sides together while not impeding the view of the grille.  The high hood was probably to clear the tall air cleaners of the day—as with most cars at the time—but the way it sticks up seems incongruous with the rest of the design: kinda clunky looking, very angular.  And that weird element that sticks out for the rear license plate really looks out of place.  Just my opinion.

I look at that front bumper and it seems to me to be a styling accessory rather than a body protection device. I agree that the rear element seems impractical.

An early neat custom car, made completely using the rule of cool.
Nice one!

One of my favorites—a 1961 Volvo P1800

By far the largest car model ever made by the defunct company, AMC or American Motors Company, the 1974 Ambassador. This is from a sales brochure. Notice how is still had the door side windows.

Yeah, one of those few cars Volvo made that totally subverted the expectation that Volvo only made safe, dependable family cars.
What a nice looking little pocket rocket that is!

Now, this is a really cool one, IMO.

A 2008 Lotus Exige Sport 240. I think all Lotus from whatever year are such cool cars.

That's a really cool and stylish car, taken in a GREAT action photo!

Yeah.  It kinda reminds me of a Bentley, in a way.

I thought this was a Chevy II when I first saw it.
