A black-on-black-on-black (body, roof, interior) '68 Cutlass/4-4-2 hardtop is a big want of mine. The above isn't that--they're shockingly difficult to find--but it's a terribly sexy thing just the same. The light hits that green real nice.

Edit: That combination is the only way I'd have most any A-body, especially a '68-72. The only exception is maybe a '70 GTO, which wouldn't have a vinyl top.
I'm on a bit of a Beaumont bent at the moment. Here's a '69 with the wider set headlights and the emblem in the headlight housing instead of right smack in the middle of the nose.
It's also sitting on really cool Kelsey-Hayes ET Kelstars.
Hot rods I saw over the weekend in Detroit I stopped in Kalamazoo on my way back, didn’t realize that Street Rod Nationals was happening, I just went around the hotels/parking lots to see what was there because cars were already leaving.
Every one of them is amazing, but the ones that put the starch in my pasta are the big green GTX, the AMX with the Shadow Mask hood, the orange 442 with the dog dish hubcaps, and the yellow Torino.
The GSX auto show display car, with its bonkers front spoiler, is what's doing it for me.
It's also got a wild interior and other features--like wider, more pronounced hood scoops, spoiler with the ends integrated into the body and delicate stays for the center section, and Buick slotted steel wheels with full painted (instead of the typical accent painted) centers--that didn't make it to the production GSX it was teasing.
