5 Most Romantic Classic Cars

Let’s say that money was no object and you could hit the town with any vehicle this Valentine’s Day; what would you pick to ensure your date night is one for the record books?

After much debate (and really dreaming about that money is no object idea), here are our top picks. If you have something else in mind, drop us a few candy hearts and let us know on social media.

#1: Aston Martin DB5

Arguably the most sophisticated classic car of all time, the 1963 Aston Martin DB5 is for the couple who wants to make a grand entrance this Valentine’s Day. Imagine being dressed to the nines and hitting the road in this beauty for an elegant dinner at the finest restaurant in the city.

The Aston Martin DB5 has 282 horsepower and tops out at around 140 mph, making it powerful and fast in addition to gorgeous. This car is first on the list because James Bond showed the world its beauty and mystique in the movie Goldfinger.

#2: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

Maybe you live in Southern California and want a classic car that lets you put the top down and drive the coast before your dinner reservations. Or maybe where you live in the Midwest, it’s going to be a usually warm Valentine’s Day this year.

No matter the case, the 1957 Chevy Bel Air will make for a memorable evening, especially if you are lucky enough to have the optional 283 cubic inch V8 with 283 horsepower. The product brochure of the 1957 Chevy Bel Air promoted the convertible’s new vinyl interior and foam rubber seats for a more comfortable drive.

With something like a Bel Air, you can even go for an American Graffiti-type nostalgiathis Valentine’s Day. The convertible Bel Air also had a power-operated top, just in case you want to take in the stars with your date.

#3: 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO

While you and your date may already have a need for speed, you can go a step further by adding in an element of rarity. For many, the most famous sports car that fits this definition is the Ferrari 250 GTO. This powerful Prancing Horse has a V12 engine and a top speed of 174 mph, and it’s one of the finest Ferraris to ever see the light of day.

The only problem is locating one. There were only 36 made between 1962 and 1964.
