Default Favorite fronts and backs of cars..
My favorite front end is the 67 Pontiac Grand Prix. Favorite rear end is either the 64 Grand Prix or the 66 GTO...

What's yours, can be any make?

Too many to choose from...but I've always liked the '65 GTO tailpanel with it's disappearing tail light trick.

Cool
60's and 70's are all very cool but I'm a fat fender fan.

My pick for the front end would be the 1958 Bonneville, and the back end would be the 59 Bonneville.

Most people seem to HATE this front end. I always liked the way the grill/ chrome bumpers look on the ‘70 Coronet ever since it came out when I was a kid.

Rear is easy. 59 Chevrolet.

Front is a bit harder. 68-72 Corvette? 62 Ferrari GTO?

I think its because my favorite look would be something decidedly non factory. Like a nostalgia funny car with a big blower sticking out of the hood.

Another of my favorite rears...the '62 Caddy... Gaudy and understated (compared to the '50s models) at the same time
in the fins-
