I was wondering if any of you that go to car shows walk around and see vehicles you use to drive all dressed up and going for big bucks. I'm listing some of mine: 1949 Willeys Jeep, 1964 Chevy Corvair, 1957 DeSoto, 1964 Chevy Impala, 1973 Chevy Corvette Convetible,1964 Ford Falcon,1968 Austin Healey Sprite, 1961 Chevy Biscayne, 78 Ford Ranchero, 1971 Ford Bronco. I'll add as I "REMEMBER" more.

I had a 1960 Dodge Dart Seneca while I was in the navy, 225 Slant six. That first year Dart was as big as a full size Chrysler.

My first car--a 1940 Ford Coupe (Flathead V-8 with Edelbrock heads, twin-carbs, and a few other "goodies"--cost $150 but never looked anywhere near as nice as the hot rods pictured below. [8D]

Mine was a '66 Porsche 912 5-speed. If it hadn't been stolen, I coulda been driving it all this time and it'd still be worth more than what I paid.

Gary, mine was a '40 Ford Coupe too. I found it in an old barn and gave the farmer $30 for it! I put in a new battery and drove it away. Until now I hadn't thought about my next one; a '48 Ford four door sedan. It was my first PT Cruiser!!
