Even people who don't like cars still agree that some cars are special. Some cars are so beautiful and unique that you just can't take your eyes off them. The motor world as we know it today would not have been the same if it wasn’t for some of these iconic and incredible cars. They are the classics, the ground-breakers and the movie cars we grew up worshipping.

The T wasn’t the first automobile ever, but it still has its place in the history books. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile ever made, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American. Without the popularity of the Model T by Henry Ford, who knows if we would have the other cars on this list?

Ford Mustang

Few cars fit the description of "American Muscle" better than the Mustang. You don't get to become Steve McQueen's car for no good reason.

Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

This was the car everyone dreamed of when it first came out in 1967, and it was one that they could afford. The firebird hood painting took this car to its own level of iconic beauty, and being the star of shows like Knight Rider didn’t do any harm either.

Volkswagen Beetle

The little beetle is perhaps the most recognizable car in the world. Also known as the Bug, it was made by German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003.

The one and only car ever made by the Delorean Motor Company, the DMC-12 is simply known as The DeLorean. While it was really a rather bad and unreliable sports car, no one can argue that it's looked just amazing. With it's gull-wing doors and a fiberglass "underbody", there is no wonder this car become the icon of the "Back to the Future" film trilogy.

Aston Martin Vanquish

Mini Cooper
