Talked to an older gentleman yesterday who said his first car was a "stovebolt 38." That's the first time I ever heard anyone refer to an old Chevy as a "stovebolt," which he explained to me was the slang back in his youth. Here's a Chevy 38 like he used to have... I asked him what the model name was before I looked it up, and he grinned at me, saying, "It's just a Chevy 38, dear. It'll be the only one." He said his was the fastest in four counties.

This was my 1st car, 1966 Ford Falcon Futura, I loved that it was a year older than me, made me feel safe.

I'm not much of a car person but I've always envisioned myself in something like this:

me and my best friend took her dad's car out at 2am almost every weekend
until the transmission died and we had to drive it home in reverse.

we were found out that night and I think what saved us, was being
just as sad about the transmission as her father was.
total bummer :watereyes:

In my heart of hearts, i am a buick and oldsmobile old lady. Unfortunately the chrysler does not ride like a big buick. It is made to be high performance, which i so do not need. But it alters the ride. :(

My Buick Skylark. I loved her so much! Mine was silver with a red pinstripe. There had been a factory recall issue with the power windows motor and when we popped the driver's side door open, it was charred inside. She had a ton of room in the back and trunk, though. I moved several times using just her. Eventually, I ran her into the ground and her transmission went out. I couldn't go in reverse. After a couple of times of getting towed out of a parking place, I learned to get mighty creative in how I parked and entered and exited parking lots. :blink:

But think of the gas mileage!

I drive this now, though a different color:

Bufori makes modern cars that look like old 1930s vehicles... every auto is built by hand and they can produce about 300/year. Yes, please...

"My true love drowned
In a dirty old pan of oil
That did run from the block
Of a Falcon sedan, 1969
The paper said '75..."

(lyrics from Neko Case, "Star Witness")

How did I not see this thread? It is sweeeet!. I love the Chevy's and Rivieras. When I was a teen no self respecting Low Rider would drive a Ford. Times have changed. I had a 1963 Chevy Impala, until I ran that beautfiful ride into the ground.

Now I drive a 2010 Honda CRV. I guess I have changed too. :|

1940 International pickup:

It's even my favorite color.

i drove an American Rambler recreationally for a while...first time i ever encountered "3 on the tree" gear shifting.

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...PGbOwTnUm2&t=1

i had one of these for a short period but it just wasn't me. it had a hidden cut off switch to the gas line the owner before me installed in case somebody stole it. i "broke down" one time when i forgot about the switch. i had it towed.

Back in the day, I had a 1968 Pontiac LeMans... which was a clone of this GTO. It was baby blue with a thick, dark blue stripe running through the middle. I loved that car. 400, 4 barrel, posi rear - the gas pedal was so sensitive, if you sneezed just right, the car would accelerate.

*sigh*

I love me some GTOs. Late 60's preferably.
