This Peugeot's underpinnings were actually intended for a family car, the 402, but coachbuilder Portout got its hands on a view examples, and created some truly beautiful bodies for these cars. Some 54 Roadsters (pictured above), 32 Cabriolet and 20 Coupe versions were built in total. A Roadster, resplendent in its bright yellow paintwork, can be seen above.
8. 1934 Ford Model 40 Special Speedster
A child of Henry Ford, Edsel Ford, ordered the Ford Motor Company's chief designer at the time to create something special for him after being inspired by the cars he saw on a trip to Europe. This stunning, unique car is the result of those efforts. While it started off as a far less glamorous car than the Bugattis or Rolls-Royces on this list, there's no denying that the end result is jaw-dropping. It is kept under lock and key at the Ford House Museum in California.
