Very classy, nice styling, and I'd get to explain to non classic car enthusiasts what it was.

Sub Zero.

 

[GTPorsche]

From a time when American cars were probably the coolest.

 

[Slash]

Awesome car, very classy. It's becoming especially obscure these days. Cool.

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Would have voted cool, but covered rear wheels nudged it to SZ

 

[Dennisch]

When I have the money ( I actually already had it but I bought the pickup) this will be at the very top of my list. Doesn't matter how rusted or how seized the engine is. This is my dream car. Nascar racing in 50's style. Big fat flathead l6.
Just look at it.

Sub Zero.

 

[Danny]

Legendary. Even Disney couldn't ruin it. Sub-Zero.

 

[Turtle]

A cool, classy car. Not quite Sub-Zero though.

 

[Adamgp]

Awesome car with great history.

S-Z.

 

[Dennisch]

This is the car I actually called the US for. At the time the price was 25k and I needed him to drop to 15k but he didn't went under 20k. He sold it and now it appears to be sold again, this time in Florida.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Meh. Bit too generic for the era.

 

[Wiegert]

Streamline Moderne has to be one of the cooler design languages, and this is a great example. Even the non-stock car variants were "Fabulous".

Solid Cool.

 

[Conza]

Not for me, sorry guys, but uncool.

I don't think its pretty, I have virtually no interest in NASCAR, actually none what so ever. Not seeing anything appealing about this car at all.

I won't vote seriously uncool because it isn't confronting in anyway, its just very boring to me, too boring simply for a meh.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Sub'd. Exemplifies a simpler, more optimistic time in the US, and it shows in the styling. No excuses, just a self-assured look. Also, kickass name.

 

[Joey D]

Sub-zero, it's from the era just before America car design went down hill for the next 50 years.

 

[Ken]

Subzero for me. Always loved these.

 

[Cano]

hyper-awesome.

 

[edawg456]

Class at its finest. Sub zero.

 

[NotThePrez]

Classy styling and performance pedigree. Sub Zero.

 

[Zenith]

Pixar's Cars would be reason enough to make this subzero.

 

[Gerarghini]

Sub-Zero because Cars.

 

[disinfected]

Not my cup of tea, but it's impossible to hate it. Cool.

 

[Legro]

Body Styles: 2-door coupe, 2-door sedan, 2-door hardtop​

What was the point of having 3 different 2-door body styles?

 

[Indigo Racing]

This is one of those de facto cool cars.

Sub-Zero

 

[JAHHAJ]

It's nice but it wouldn't go into the Sub Zero category because it doesn't appeal enough to me, solid cool.

 

[Stotty]

Beautiful lines.

Cool.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Very, very strong cool for this.

 

[Encyclopedia]

Strong cool. I really like this era of american cars. This and the Mercury are such classy looking cars.

 

[TheCracker]

Meh. Not an automotive era that interests me.

 

[axletramp]

I just don't get a 'fizz' from cars like this, but I can understand how many people can love them. So it's a meh from me.
