The Phoenix Missile: The Definitive Z Car
It's no wonder Car and Driver called it “A phoenix missile you can guide yourself.” One of the first cars to be designed in a Computer Design program (CAD) with aerodynamics as a priority would look different than any other car to ever be conceived. The sweeping nose into the large, exaggerated wheel arches gives the Nissan 300zx, a performance Grand Touring car, the look of the much more expensive supercars from Lamborghini and Ferrari. Even today the design of the 300zx has held up to the test of time and still looks absolutely brilliant. The design was so refined that Lamborghini, after being purchased from Audi, bought rights to use the 300zx’s headlights on their 6th generation Diablo, one of the most iconic supercars of the 1990s and early 2000s. The 300zx offers the best balance between performance, practicality, and price.

Best Classic Cars of the 50s
If you ask me, the 1950s was the first golden era of sports cars. The post-World War II period invited technological advancements, stronger motors, faster cars, and a wide variety of never-before-seen features. Design-wise, car manufacturers weren't afraid to be ostentatious or reservedly creative. While the 1950s saw the unfortunate demise of some automakers, like the Packard Motor Company, the decade was a period of massive growth and improvement for most car manufacturers, from Chevy and Ford in the United States to a variety of European makers including BMW and Jaguar. If you enjoy reading about classic cars as much as I do, take a look at the best and most classic cars of the 50s.
