1995 Porsche 928 GTS
This low-mileage, well-documented and highly specified 928 GTS is one of just 26 U.S.-market examples equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission for the 1995 model year, making it the quintessential rendition of Porsche’s front-engine experiment.

1961 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Saloon
On paper, the Mercedes-Benz 220 was far from sporting. Its workaday 2.2-liter straight-6 was no fireball, and it had to be rowed hard to overcome a not-inconsiderable curb weight of 1,334 kilograms (2,941 pounds).

1961 Ferrari 250 GT PF Cabriolet Series II
By the early 1960s, road-car production had ceased to be a sideline for Ferrari and was seen as vitally important to the company’s future stability.
