It's between McQueen and Newman for me. I'd say Newman has the edge on Mcqueen..... just though, just. I know they're both obvious choices but obvious for a reason IMO.

^Not enough button-downs for my liking.

The first cats that really intrigued me were, to be honest, the Kingston Trio.  This goes back to my adolescence, when I first really perused my father's records.  Those guys just had this look that really made an impact on me - the bright colored striped short sleeve bds and the short tight chinos with white socks and pennys, neat haircuts, etc.  Youthful, vigorous ivy.

Andy of Derbyshire.

In hindsight, I could maybe even add my old man to the list.  One pic of him always comes to mind:

It's probably 1964 or 65, he and my mother are in his mom's backyard about to set off on a boating trip or picnic.  He's wearing some equivalent of Wayfarer shades, a tight white V-Neck T, tucked into some really tight, short madras shorts, looking trim and resplendent in white socks and shiny pennies.  God, a great picture.
