Do we even have to explain why we can’t wait to play with this car? Just look at it. LOOK AT IT! Initially designed to compete against the Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster, the 507 was overpriced and under loved during its day, but has since become a classic. It is a V8 powered, manual transmission, rear-wheel drive roadster with the looks of Olivia Wilde and class of Sean Connery.
