Cars evoke a variety of emotions, draw in a multitude of people for varying reasons, and are built for a bevy of different reasons. Some are purely purpose-built, whether that's for carrying eight people, two dogs, a birdcage and lacrosse equipment or for beating the fastest track lap record at the 'gring. Some are made to represent a specific class level, showing the world that you have obnoxious amounts of money and that you can afford to put it into cars with built-in umbrellas in the doors. And then there are the cars that (yes, we're copying A Christmas Story) are made with full intention of being four-wheeled, internal combustion-engined, steel-sculpted SEX. Pure. Unadulterated. Sexy. Sex.

They're the cars that you daydream about as a kid. They're the cars you have little golden models of on your work desk. They're the cars that give you a tingle down your ... spine. This list is to celebrate the best of the best of those cars. Many of the rides we have chosen were created before the restrictions of safety and gas mileage dropped. They were built during times that allowed for designers to express themselves to the fullest with crazy wings, bulbous fenders and bumpers, wild overuses of chrome, and incredibly sultry lines. So, without holding you back any further, these are our selections for The 25 Sexiest Cars of All Time. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
