The new October issue of "Automobile" magazine has a feature article on 
what they feel is "The 100 Coolest Cars". "What cars really get 
attention at a show or on the street? What cars make their drivers seem 
cool?" It's an interesting list and includes such perennial favorites 
as the VW Microbus (split window) (100), 1951 Hudson Hornet (83), VW 
Beetle (72), Fiat 500 (62), Nissan Skyline GT-R (47), but, you guessed 
it, no Corvair! I guess they've never cruised around in a nice Corsa or 
Spyder, or even a Greenbrier or a Rampside!

In case you wondered... 10. Jaguar E-type, 9. Lancia Stratos, 8. Aston 
Martin DB5, 7. Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, 6. Duesenburg J/SJ/SSJ, 5. 
Citroen DS, 4. Jaguar XK120, 3. Shelby Cobra, 2. Porsche 911, 1. 
'63-'67 Corvette Sting Ray.
