Dear Sophie -
CARS - There are only a few cars that I feel belong in the design pantheon. Here's a handful of my favorites. When I moved to L.A. from N.Y. I kinda studied them. None of these are terribly practical, but they are beautiful!
Mercedes 280 SE (1969 - 1971) (yes,our lovely coupe!)
Volvo P1800
BMW 2002
Citroen
Raymond Loewy's Avanti (I almost bought this one, but I literally had to crane my neck to see out the side view mirrors).
Jeep Wagoneer
VW bus
(note the 3/4 angle on the photography... that's how one shoots a car... )
With love,
Mom
