The 1970's - IMO that decade provided some of the most way out there auto design that joe blow public could just walk in, buy and drive home.
Things like...
1971 AMC Gremlin X with a V8 stuffed in it...

There are so many, many more iconic cars from the 70's - I had a 1977 Datsun 200SX - ugly as heck but still charming in it's own way. There was just so much cool car design from the beginning of that decade until about 1978 when things started getting boring.
What car/truck would you consider representative of cool 70's car design?
