    Nice. I have 4 vintage cars, probably 3 more than I need.

    Great car. Detroit's little way of thumbing its nose at OPEC during the "oil shortage" of the day.

    The cars used in S&H were 1975 and 1976 Ford Gran Torinos.

    Hi guys thanks for all your responses. Canjond those are some beautiful cars!!! True classics in every sense. I can't imagine restoring something like that. Parts would be impossible to find. I'd love to see some more pictures if anyone would like to share. Ron Burgandy what do you have?

    Thanks for the kind words and you're spot on regarding parts. On the '47, quite a few had to be custom machined from the original broken parts or drawings... just not enough around. The dashboard was actually made by an Amish craftsman in upstate NY using the original, broken dash as the template.

    Although not quite a car, and certainly not a classic, I'm also a big motorcycle guy. My absolute favorite is my GSX-R...

    Hey guys, saw this thread come up just when a story I shot and edited just aired on classic cars. There's is a huge car museum finishing construction in Tacoma Washington that will include a massive car colllection from the late Harold Lemay. It opens in June but we got a sneak peak at some of the cars on display there and the four levels of storage area for hundreds of cars. Not a car guy myself but I was very impressed. The story is below. Take care. Doug

    Nice ratrod Mr. keepitwarm. That things chopped so low I don't think i'd even fit in it. That Mustang looks bada$$! You've obviously spent some time at the dragstip in that one.

    The 120 is a beauty. My father has his 54 XK140 FHC sitting next to the house in the backyard. Took it apart in 1978 to overhaul it. Ended up not putting it together. It's a shadow of its former self, but the early 50s XKs are beautiful.

    Although not a "classic" my 2006 Corvette is my other passion. I would love to someday own a '66 Vette. Actually, I would like to own one from every generation.

    Yea, speaking of the newspaper box...if anyone here happens to have an old metal Detroit News box, I am willing to pay for it! I've been looking for one to surprise my dad with for a long time. He's making due with the 1970's plastic one now, but he really wants the old, 1950's metal box.

    It's a longshot, but I've got cash ready and waiting if anyone has one.

    The 1968 Mustang is my younger brothers car.

    Here is a pic of my 1966 Ford Fairlane 390
