[Ford Forty-Nine](http://thunderbird64_66.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/forty-nine_ford_concept.jpg) [1951 Buick LeSabre](http://www.carstyling.ru/resources/concept/51buick_lesabre_32.jpg) - paint it black and Batman could drive it. Sorry for the snark, but every time someone mentions cool cars, it’s almost always a Shelby Cobra or a 1957 Chevy. ---
