But really.....besides the almighty Saab, where are some other heavy hitters?

* 1969 COPO Camaro ZL-1
* 1959 Chevy Impala
* 1938 Buick Y Job
* 1970 Chevy C10
* 1963 Corvette Split Window
* 1953 Cadillac Eldorado
* 1987 Buick GNX
* 1964 Buick Riviera
* 2008 Corvette ZR1
* 1969 Chevy Camaro Z28

What else would you throw on the list?

That saab really doesn't count.

In a way you are right. GM bought Saab in 1990.

It would be similar to buying Ferrari today and claiming all their heritage.

Why not some more Opel and Vauxhall cars? This list is pretty depressing when you think about 100 years of cars and their top ten aren't even that exciting. They should have just gone down the list of Harley Earl cars and then filled in the rest with the EV1 and the Stingray and such.
Does a COPO car really count, I don't think they can cheat by choosing a special order car.

The SAAB counts, GM owns that company. GM didn't necessarily have to make it, but a part of their collective group of brands did so why not.
