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:

1938 Phantom Corsair:

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..."

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.

rainintothesea · 06-06-2011, 10:29 PM

1940 International pickup:

It's even my favorite color.

Martina · 06-06-2011, 10:56 PM

1965 pontiac catalina

Martina · 06-08-2011, 01:58 AM

i never liked muscle cars except for the GTO. i just like pontiacs, i guess.

weatherboi · 06-08-2011, 04:45 AM

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

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.

Martina · 06-08-2011, 05:02 AM

1966 olds toronado -- never owned one. just admired them. i had 4 oldsmobiles, 3 of them delta 88's. One got stolen.

this one, according to the site, is jay leno's.

NJFemmie · 06-08-2011, 05:34 AM

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.

blackboot · 06-08-2011, 05:51 AM

I had a '68 Datsun 2000

that was hit head-on by a 1974 Chevy Impala.

My second favorite car ever .....

OOOOOOOOOOOOO, Barracuda .......................

NJFemmie · 06-08-2011, 05:56 AM

I think my favorite year in cars is 1968.

NJFemmie · 06-08-2011, 06:00 AM

My sister had a 1970 Buick Skylark, vinyl top.

And, my brother used to race with his favorite project car similar to this one.... (but his had a better paint job...)

Ford Maverick - early 70s

Dutch Leonard · 06-09-2011, 10:07 PM

The Rapper Flo Rida was busted for DUI driving one of these, a Bugatti Veyron, a car with a $1.7 million sticker price, as I understand it. You could have quite a collection of really cool cars for that. Unless you really need a 1000 hp W16 (think two V8's welded together). 'cause I'd buy a Z06 Corvette, a Shelby Mustang, a Laguna Seca Boss 302 Mustang, a Porsche 911 GT3, a John Cooper Works MINI, a Lotus Elise, so many cool cars, so little time!
