As part of the 22nd Annual International Automobile Festival a team of judges has chosen its Most Beautiful Automobiles of the World for 2007 and no the U.S. did not come home with a trunk of gold medals in this competition. We Americans will just have to be content with our two silvers.

On the other hand many of the pageant-winning cars can actually be found on these shores.

Though the awards won't actually be presented until March the list of winners is after the jump.
