Mini Cooper (1959 — Present)
The Mini Cooper came to be in 1959 as an answer to a fuel shortage and the need for more efficient city cars. It was a two-door, four-cylinder engine car by British Motor Corporation (BMC), and featured a monocoque shell (the chassis is integral with the body). The tiny car became an icon of the ’60s—a favorite among rock stars, actors, junior royalty, writers, debutantes and designers throughout London. The newest version has the latest performance engineering, premium technology and a finely tailored interior.

Porsche 911 (1963 — Present)
Car enthusiasts say the only “true Porsche” is the Porsche 911, because it’s the only one with a direct link to the original Porsche 356. The 911 was based on the 356 model, featuring the 356’s fastback design and it was the first production Porsche without front trailing arms or rear swing axles. The new 911 is the sum of its predecessors, featuring the iconic silhouette, timeless design and next-level technology. It has 443 hp max power, can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and has a top track speed of 191 mph.

Ford Mustang (1964 – Present)
Officially unveiled by Henry Ford II at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York, on April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang was a two-seat, mid-engine sports car. The same day as its introduction, the new car was debuted in Ford showrooms across America, resulting in almost 22,000 Mustangs being snatched up by buyers. The car was named for a World War II fighter plane, and was designed to be a “working man’s Thunderbird.” While it was expected to sell less than 100,000 models per year, more than 1 million of the vehicles were shipped in its first 18 months alone. The 2019 Mustang BULLITT is a special-edition Mustang designed after the 1968 version.
