There’s literally only one car that I know of off the top of my head from before 1960's that I would want, which is a Bugatti Type 57.

Which means that car hasn’t been built yet, which is impossible since all these dates are in the past.

You’re now TheWalkingBro.

Interesting styling choice. Nose is a little big though

How can you not care about all those early years?! As for 91 if I remember that will be the one I do tomorrow

03/15/2016 at 12:58

Basically there’s not much I know about, so I’m not too bothered.

‘32 Ford 3-window Coupe and ‘57 Chevy come to mind, but those years aren’t there. I did miss 1953 though—I’d have an original Corvette thx.

You’re totally doing it right and I do it every Wednesday so look forward to it tomorrow!

As for your list the 66 Mustang and 53 Corvette really caught my attention

JR1 > not for canada - australian in disguise
03/15/2016 at 13:55

I didn't realize you had done so many. And your list is so unique. Not many cars you think of right away

not for canada - australian in disguise > JR1
03/15/2016 at 13:58

Well, not all of them are my choices. But a good portion are.

JR1 > just-a-scratch
03/15/2016 at 13:58

You seem to have the idea. You have to pick a car you would have bought new in a certain year.

And the list did take forever that's why I ask one year at a time on Wednesday mornings. Your list has a lot of interesting choices. The Daytona Coupe is a very good answer

Thanks! My dad’s 1966 was seafoam green with a white interior. Had a Hurst shifter and great exhaust. I’ve always liked the first few years of the Mustang over the later 1st gens because of the two he had when I was a kid.

I usually do, but I’m not a pre 1950 guy Soooo

JR1 > interstate366, now In The Industry
03/15/2016 at 23:07

That's a great color combo too. Coupe or convertible?

interstate366, now In The Industry > JR1
03/15/2016 at 23:18

Coupe. It was a High Country Special that had made its way to Virginia over the years. When I was even younger he had a tan 1964.5 with a straight 6 and an automatic. Also a coupe. Can’t remember what color interior it had.

JR1 > interstate366, now In The Industry
03/15/2016 at 23:19

Nice. There is something about the early generation 1st gens that I just adore

interstate366, now In The Industry > JR1
03/15/2016 at 23:41

Same. If I were to get a 1st gen it would be an early one. Doesn’t hurt that they’re cheaper than the later ones.
