Here's the list of the top 200 cars in the running for Car of the Century. (Well, half the list. The other half will be posted in the next message due to the message size limit on the listserv.) Personally, I think the whole concept is kinda dopey. I think its stupid to try to narrow down to a single car. Reading the list, I'd be happy to own about half the cars on it. Heck - I'd be happy to get a glimpse of half the cars on it! Anyway, here's the list. It has been narrowed down to 100 cars which will be announced in September.
