Jaguar XK120
Called XK 120, this was one of Jaguar’s quintessential sports cars and one of the fastest models of the decade. It was introduced in 1948 with a powerful straight-six engine, a sleek, streamlined body, and a top speed of 120 mph, which it was named after. The rest is history, and Jaguar not only sold well but also inspired the production of the E Type.
