18: Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The Stingray is highly regarded in automotive design, so much so that Detroit has modeled other cars after it. The most obvious thing about the Stingray was its beautiful curves in the design. The split rear windows are another obvious sign of a Stingray. At the time, the Stingray was a revolution in design and modern appearance (via Motor Biscuit).

Automakers have long struggled to replicate the unique styling of the Stingray. When the Corvette hit the market, it was already one of the most beautiful cars on the road. But when it came time to redesign the brand, GM took things to the next level with the Stingray. There are very few cars on the road that are as highly regarded as the Stingray.
