Here are a couple of old beer delivery trucks from 1910 and 1947.

Yes ,305 c.i.d GMC V - 6 142 net h.p. 795 lbs.
It's Goodwood Revival weekend...and watching this gave me a bit of a chubber. 
I don't think it gets much better than 1960's sports racers.

I guess I'm an ass man. It's the rear end shots like these that lured me to the rocks the first time, many decades ago... 
Very rare 1942 Chevy G-506 Panel truck.
Hand built 1970 Bristol 411 series 1 , Powered by a 383 Chrysler V-8 !
Now THAT is what a "sports car" is supposed to look like!
Under $4k…. Although that was $$$ back then.
That'd be a beautiful car if someone spec'd one out that way. 10X nominal price increase since then.
Edit; I'd guess a comparable car from GM today would cost in the neighborhood of $100K.

The main problem would be the only option available on today's version would be the AM/FM ( with a touchscreen of course ) . Mary knows best , what drive train you need.

I'm trying to think of a modern version of that potential '66 Impala and the best I can come up with is the the late '00s Pontiac G8 (I think around $40K when new)
or maybe the Caddy CTS/CT5 V-spec cars. I think the standard Caddy CTS/CT5 cars start around $70K and go up, while the V-spec cars start close to $100K.
I really like both of those cars. I had two weeks with a used loaner G8 back around 2012, and that was a fun car.
Always loved the Triumph "long doors"
These are a favorite. Quite like the look of that one as it sits. An old friend had a faded red TR3A, it was always there for the basement garage poker nights (used to eyeball it frequently). If given the choice, I do prefer the "buggier eyes and small mouth" of the TR2/TR3...but I'd take a 3A in a NY minute.

Don't forget the Chevy SS. It could be had with a 6-speed manual transmission mated to the 6.2 liter powerplant (415 hp/415 ft. lbs. of torque). Available from 2013 to 2017. Nice! A 2013 had an MSRP of $44,470, btw.
Here's one in the proper color...
Already did.
Not a common car. I did not know they could be had in manual flavor. A V8 with manual, that's just enough to overcome those aesthetics.
