What object do you think is a design classic?!?

For example the BIC pen.





Please be specific ( name and brand of the object )What object do you think is a design classic?!?
How about the wheel? A perfect design...timeless, still in use, a perfect form...never ending.What object do you think is a design classic?!?
I 100% agree with 'Phd.' The Canon T90 is really beautiful and tactile object. I regret trading mine in for a Contax TVS good though it is. My choice of design classic would be the Triumph Bonneville T120 circa 1969.
MY BODY.
The 1966 and 1967 Ford Thunderbirds!
Hackney carriage!! Genius!! Also the red telephone box and the original mini cooper (not the s**t one made by BMW)
Hula hoops - by Whamo
A Chesterfield sofa.
VW Golf mark 1... first hot hatch(or first good hot hatch!!lol)
The etch a sketh by ohio Arts
E type Jag
Still film cameras that are design classics:





1. The Asahi Pentax Spotmatic (';just hold a Pentax'; was a spot-on ad campaign slogan)





2. The Canon T90. Breathtakingly beautful, and with a breadth of functionality (multiple spot metering, flash spot metering) that is rarely equalled even today amonst the autofocus and the digital stables.





3. Moving on to autofocus film cameras, the EOS 1n is simply so good, though understated as an object to hold and admire. It does a vast range of tasks, and is so robust you could drive a nail in with it. More specifically, the EOS 1n RS version with pellicle non-moving mirror and 10 frames per second is a big beast that growls quietly at the top table!
