'57 Continental Mark II. The "American Rolls-Royce". Only 4996 made in 1957 and 1958. Gorgeous car, way ahead of its time in styling and build quality unmatched.

I have a 73 Javelin 401 that is in a 1/2 done state of restoration. No rust, never wrecked. I've passed up a lot of offers over the years.

I'm probably from a younger crowd, but for me it's an '88 Toyota Supra. Turbo, targa, tan leather, and BROWN! Divorced wastegate and straight exhaust.

One of my best bud's had one of those 88 turbo Supra's. It was large but in charge! I drove it across Kansas one summer to go visit my boy and GEEEE-OWWWW that thing had some grunt! 5-speed made it even funn-er to drive too!

I have a 1976 Bronco that I could never do without. The funny thing is I couldn't afford to buy it now 26 years later!
After retirement I might sell my daily driver 65 Mustang and get a Triumph TR250 or build a Cobra. The Cobra has been a dream since I was a teenager.

I sold my 57 Olds 88 2 door HT, white/yellow-green to go to Brock University in 1968. Also sold my 66 (?) 305 Big Bear Scrambler.
Dropped out before Christmas exams.
The intake noise when those secondaries opened up would give you shivers.
Looking back, don't know how I could afford a car and a bike and insurance then.

The 305 Yamaha was my 1st bike, but I had a 67 and low exhaust.

Soooooooo many cool cars and bikes mentioned. One set up I WANT to build is to take a 1960 - 61 chevy pickup and set it on my '88 chevy 1500 4X4 frame so I can have a more modern drive train and still have 4X4 and a cool lookin' truck. I've GOT an original 54 chevy pickup, but it was my dad's and I don't wanna cut it all up. Dreams...

65 Impala... My brother had several and I always liked the fastback design, the eyebrow headlights and those 6 tail lights! Just a GOOD lookin' car. Wanna know one I want one NOW after years of thinking they were kinda hideous? 68 Chrysler Newport hardtop. There was a biker MILF in my small town that had one when I was about 15 and pumpin' gas and checkin' oil at the Standard station. Green with a green vinyl top and green interior, 383 automatic. She used come in and get filled with premium once in a while. she fueled a lot of daydreaming BUT now the CAR fills my daydreams!

The 60-61 Chevy has the coolest looking front end ever put on a truck.

Yep. Ugly ol' oversize Neanderthal eyebrows on it... Pure SEX! Those trucks just LOOK like they are ready to plow in head first... GRRRRRRRRR!
My first car was a 61 impala convertable ($75 beater) but I always liked the rear quarter view of the "butterfly window" coupes.
Too bad the front looked kind of "tanky"
JC mom had one in the Tempest trim when I was 15, this shade of blue with a black vinyl top.
Too bad it was an anemic straight 6 two speed automatic rrt, rtt, ruuh. Back in the day one of the car mags swapped a jag engine into one. It didn't go well for them.
Sad story; at the dealer to buy Tempest, they had a left over, 66 base model Vette, could of had it for the same money as the Tempest! but there were 3 kids and band instruments......
