I thought you were going to say you saw an omega that had been stored for 20 years, in a air conditioned garage,with delivery mileage.

There is one round here[with private plate]in dark blue.Not my kind of thing at all but if it floats your boat why not?

Exactly, and one women's / man's opinion on what is beautiful can be very different to what others think.

With cars, what modern car is truly "beautiful"  anyway?  All very similar in the family car zone, and the sports / muscle cars are very similar.  Only the top end F1 based cars, like Ferrari's or Lamborghini's can look very good.

Personally I go back in motoring history for my idea of truly good looking cars like:
                              1909 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost
                              1930's Packard Eight
                              1960's Chevrolet Impala (the one with fantastic rear gull wings)
                              1960 Vauxhall Cresta PA

Now I know some / many will argue over these choices, but or me they are classics and are cars built when cars had individual character, and for me are very appealing, along with any Bentley no matter what year! :D :D ;)

I had a friend in the early 1970's who's father had a pink and cream two tone one, which I just loved. :-* :-*

Even by then they were becoming rare as the rust took hold! :o
