The cop car.
Not saying it's not purdy, just that it's not a "work of art" like the others. Not in the same league IMHO.

No disputing that bro'. 
What if we were to say Aston Martin has launched an all-electric car that’s available for around the same money as the average new car? You’d want a piece of that, right? You can, though you’ll have to put up with some compromises, chiefly, the new Aston Martin model is two-thirds scale and is not able to be driven on the road.
It's the Aston Martin DB5 Junior. Following the similarly sized Ferrari Testa Rossa J and Bugatti Baby II, the DB5 Junior is the latest car from the Little Car Company, in Bicester, England. The Aston is the third product from this enthusiastic group of talented engineers, who keep busy building these incredible, manufacturer-sanctioned, scaled-down machines for enthusiastic collectors and their lucky children.

In 1959, a coffee maker was an optional extra in Volkswagen cars.

1955 PORSCHE BONSAI PRE-A SPEEDSTER
RAW UNPAINTED EXTERIOR COVERED WITH LINSEED OIL, BORO PATCHWORK SEAT UPHOLSTERY, INDIGO-DYED SASHIKO DOOR UPHOLSTERY, JAPANESE DENIM ROOF UPHOLSTERY
For this car, Daniel Arsham embraced the rich history of the Porsche 356 via wabi-sabi- the Japanese concept of appreciating beauty that is imperfect and impermanent.
Over two years, Arsham worked to expose the Speedster’s original finish, revealing all of the welds, pit marks, and natural wear. A layer of linseed oil protects the raw metal from the elements, in accordance with Japanese manufacturing techniques. The textiles for the interior were all produced in Japan by traditional craftsmen.
The vehicle is fully drivable, with even the engine restored to its original state.

So many more works of art.
They don't make 'em like they used to.

Opel GT/W 'Geneve' concept rotary engined from 1975
Two of the most valuable and collectable cars in Aston Martin's history - DB4GT and DB4GT Zagato remain popular with Aston Martin owners and enthusiasts alike. With a combined volume of just 100 examples in total, these cars have fetched over £1m at auction. As pre-cursors to perhaps the most famous Aston Martin, DB5, DB4GT and DB4GT Zagato played a crucial role in defining some of the iconic design cues still used in by Aston Martin today.
1967 BIZZARRINI SPYDER S.I. 5300 TARGA AT HERSHEY
These Bizzarrini 5300s were serious performers of their day. When a Ferrari 275 GTB had a 330hp, these Bizzarrinis made use of a 420hp V8 sourced from the Corvette Stingray. This is Italian and American work in perfect harmony.

Love the lines on that thing.
Has that aerodynamic-and-yet-classic feel nailed.
