Playboy Publishes a List of 25 Greatest Cars of All Times

The famous magazine for men, Playboy has recently released a list of cars that the magazine thinks to be the greatest in time. Playboy magazine does regular features on the news and interviews related to motoring and auto world. For the May issue which is now on the newsstand in US, the magazine has exclusively compiled a list of its favorite cars from time immemorial. This magazine is known more for its association with the dames, but this magazine makes an exception in case of cars and since 1964 it has been following a tradition of presenting every year a new car to Playmate. Additionally, every year the December issue of the magazine features a complied annual roundup of its favorite new releases.

The editors Ken Gross and A.J. Baime have done exhaustive research for the compilation of this list of favorite cars of all times. This list includes two-seat sports cars, racing cars, muscle cars and few cars from the bygone era; this list also includes the cars from 1940s which is way before the Playboy magazine was founded in 1953. There were mixed reactions to the list, in the eyes of some auto aficionados the picks are generic and it reflects the personality of the publication while some motoring bloggers were unhappy about the exclusion of Lotus Elan and Playmouth Barracuda, some other auto fans state that the list is neither absolutely right nor absolutely wrong.
