Welcome to "what would you steal!" This is a product of my sleep-deprived brain being stupid. Here, i'll give you a scenario, and you need to tell me what car you would steal in this scenario to do what needs to be done. Not just crime by the way! some of this stuff might be to save someone's life!

Time period: Cold February morning, 1958

Location: Albany, NY.

Scenario: You and your two running buddies are doing one last job. This is the big one; the big bang to go out with. You're hitting a newly opened bank location. You have researched the location and the police response time. The bank has $500,000 in cash and another $100,000 in safety deposit boxes for you to hit. You are the getaway driver, and will need to get your buddies out of there fast.

The Route: Paved and Unpaved roads. Selected vehicle will need reinforced suspension.

Vehicle Type: Some type of large sedan or wagon. must seat 3. must be capable of 105 mph. Must not be conspicuous (no luxury cars or imports)

Go for it oppo! What would you steal?

This is so easy. I'll take a 1957 Chevy 210 with a 283 Fuelie and a three speed floor shift. I look like every sedan on the road but nothing can touch that kind of power in 1958.

Chevy Nomad with the biggest engine I can get. Because wagons carry lots of stuff, are inconspicuous, and generally kick ass.

The easy answer is a Tri-5 Chevy Sedan or Wagon, but I'm trying a bit to go off the beaten path, and chose something that might take you anywhere.

Thinking outside the box, I'll take either:

an International Harvester Travelall A-120. 4x4 with a 154 hp engine should be enough to kind of get away, and it can go anywhere

Or a Checker A8. Not great HP figures, but it's a Checker. It's virtually indestructible.

How about '58 Fury? Would it be conspicuous enough? It was and of the fastest cars available and super rare EFI engine pushed out 315 hp (hottest carburetor version achieved 305 hp).

Yes. And 350 cid version lived only for '58 MY.
