Often described as the most beautiful car ever designed, the Jaguar E-Type made its debut at the New York Auto Show on April 1, 1961. Is it necessary to tell you that it was THE star of the event? The most incredible thing in hindsight is to realize that it sold for a mere $5,895. Okay, it was triple the price of a Ford Falcon, but still... Nowadays, you have to be prepared to pay in the six figures to get a model in excellent condition.
