Pontiac Solstice
10 of 11
Car and Driver deemed the Solstice one of the top 10 most beautiful cars of 2009. The two-seater convertible enjoyed early popularity, but sales took a turn in 2008. It hit rock bottom as the Solstice's five-year lifespan ended when GM's bankruptcy and restructuring plan called for the closure of its plant in Wilmington, Del., in 2009. "It was a de facto flop because they shut down production," Hagerty says. "But it was an excellent little car."
Collector prognosis: Two-seater convertibles are irresistible to American car buyers. "If someone builds a two-seater, people want it," Hagerty says. "It's ingrained in our cultural mindset."

A 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake sold for $1.3 million. Do you think classic cars were made better than modern rides?
