Beautiful cars that weren't very popular

[jjablowski]

This is a highly subjective thread since your idea of "beautiful" could be a car that looks good or a car that runs well, but the idea of this thread is to share cars from the last 50 or so years that you find attractive even though they weren't really a hit and never achieved widespread popularity.

I'll start off the thread with a controversial one (because many will argue it's not beautiful, and others will argue that it was a really popular car throughout the majority of its lifespan until it got phased out):

2005 Ford Thunderbird:

Please include images with your post. You're welcome to suggest any car even if it's one that's still currently in production. How you define beautiful and popular are entirely up to you.

The Holden Efijy Concept. While it never saw road use and likely never will, it's one of the best looking modern, yet retro cars we will ever see.

The lines are so beautiful on this car. I personally like edgy, sharp supercars and bulgy muscle cars. But this car is much more pleasing to the eye than any insane supercar or muscle car ever.

It's so unfortunate that this will never be produced. A car like this is meant to be driven, not collect dust in a museum.

The Ferrari 400/412 comes to mind...I really love the lines of it.

Wasn't the Holden on the first TDU as a dlc car?

Yes it was. It has also been driven several times by journalists, albeit under very strict conditions as it's worth over $3 million IIRC.
