i actually do not like these cars that much, but i ran across them on an art site i sometimes visit and thought others might groove on them.

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:

total bummer

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.

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...

1969 Falcon:

1975 Falcon:

"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..."
