Whatever floats yer boat.  That list would float mine, but "different 
strokes..."  To limit one's list to 2-place machines would be somewhat 
inconvenient, wouldn't you agree?  And if you think that either the Connie
with 4 doors and a ragtop, or the '57 300 are anykind of "Ordinary" seeeedans,
then your youth and naivete are badly exposed (he said with a grin).

Beautiful, yes, no question!  "Most" beautiful, on the 'tother hand...hmmmm...
And if I had to have an old Jag inflicted upon me, my choice would run towards
an XKSS or a D-type, or a C-type (XK120C to be precise), or any of the other XKs
before an E-type.  Even a MKVii before an E, but then again, whatever floats
yer boat.

BTW, Graydon, you being a GM-slave an' all, I forgot to add the 58 Eldo Brougham
(sp?), which would be on the list (after converting to steel springs) 
somewhere...

You may attach some significance to the fact that I graduated from High School
(well, that's my story anyway, an' I'm *stickin'* to it...) in '57.
