Hi Jeff,
glad to read that you like my link.
For me, those era cars with the Ford Thunderbird 1963



are more beautiful than any Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and everything that end's with an i.

Love the Bullet Birds from 61-63.  Agree they are very easy on the eye!

Enjoy the 64-66 T Birds too, as my father in law had a series of them, and my wife grew up with them.  Think the Thelma and Louise convertible.

Naturally have a soft spot for my own 69, but that is more Mad Men style than Art Deco for sure.

Of course, the Art Deco period was during the 20's to 30's, and there were some cool looking cars from that era.
The Delahaye Coupe for instance...

Not quit Art Deco but some 1950's Italian Wings and things from CBS Sunday Morning.

 :o  I think I may have to consult my physician in 4 hours.  Those are my kinda car porn- especially that 38 Coddington.  Surely I have a half million laying around that my wife wouldn't miss.

If all car designers from the 20-30s were still alive,
they will give today's lifeless styling cars
new look and new life.

Below are cars that are not from the Art Deco Era,
but some of you might agree with me,
they have style.

There was still some outrageous design happening in the 50s, albeit mostly from Italy, like this 1954 DeSoto Adventurer by Ghia:





 and this happy little Alfa by Bertone:





but, surprisingly what could be considered Deco-esque is still being produced by Morgan of England. Look at this Aero Coupe:
