What´s your favorite classic car?

[Mr. Sauerkraut]

Hi.

Everybody knows that the americans are the "Car nation". When i look at ebay how many survivors from all over the decades are still on the road, it takes me no wonder. Me personally love your cars very much, especially these american dreamcruisers from the 50ths to the mid 70ths. Currently it´s the Buick Riviera Boattail and I see at the prizes, that this funny monster becomes a classic of high value. What´s your american dreamcar?

I like the Aston Martin DB5.

The early Corvettes are sexy too.

 

[Missourian]

I've got one for the 70's, 60's and 50's -

'76 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.


I had one Identical to this one.

'66 Buick Riviera.

'51 Chevy Fastback

I had a '53 Styleline but never a fastback.



​

EDIT - I never realized this, but my favorite classics are all GM's, yet in daily drivers, we buy nothing but Fords.

Nothing says "classic" more than an old school road boat, complete with the three-body trunk.

i can´t imagine that there was a time when these artworks went to the junkyard.

Well, it seems to be the usual suspects. What was the last "real" classic. Are there cars from the 80ths or 90ths which would become a dreamcar of tomorrow?

I like these:

and i wonder how cheap they are on ebay. probably is the maintenance of these beauties beyond any affordability.

btw: i just found this:

Golf 2 with an northstar engine. Well, engeneering is our faible...

 

[Mini 14]

I drive a 72 Bronco every day (not all original anymore, it has a 351 , but the Mercury 8 may be the greatest American car ever made.

I drive an El Dorado just like the one in the pic except mine has the Landau top and the factory mag wheels. It's a real smooth ride.

I don't know which would be my favorite car - but at least I could identify the makes of cars way back when. Today? No so much - they all look alike.
