The Love Bug....Yeah Baby!!!!!!!!!!

boz · July 20, 2003 12:16PM

Mine is, and at one time was, the 1955 Chevy Nomad. Had it for 20 years, then sold it for "stupid" money. At the time I couldn't resist it, now I'm sorry I couldn't. Black and white, all original. It's still around, but do you think the "punk" wants to sell it back?

danny72170 · July 20, 2003 12:58PM

1970 Pontiac GTO is my favorite.

Pontiac is bringing back the GTO this year. Woo Hoo!!!

2004 Pontiac GTO

JeffinMich · July 20, 2003 1:03PM

My favorite is the second car I ever owned, and it's still sitting in my garage after 12+ years......1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT/SL.

bizzarri · July 20, 2003 1:15PM

'57 Desoto Adventurer Convertible

With the optional "highway hifi" to play 16 2/3 RPM records, of course!

I've only read about these, but I wouldn't mind having one in my driveway. 345 C.I. hemi, 345 horsepower, the
first year Detroit made a car with ci=hp. I belive the Corvette was also in that elite group that year.

LucyBop · July 20, 2003 2:01PM

How could I forget about the sweet bodylines of the beautiful 58 Impala! A living dream!

Cam40 · July 20, 2003 2:31PM

Good Lord. There are too many great ones to choose from.

I remember as 6 or 7 year old the Shelby Cobra( the GT 350 and 400) was The car of cars in my eyes.
So I guess I still have a warm spot in maheart for that particular vehicle.

I,ll pick a California Special Shelby Cobra in Whit Top, Baby Blue

Cam40 · July 20, 2003 2:35PM

Wow Its a cool car show.

Love those streamline body styles. Gorgeous.

Thanks for another cool giveaway!

'54 chevy pickup.....with the little windows in the corners. Have had 2...but do not have one right now.

.....thanks for the chance. Gabbo

Agflyer · July 20, 2003 4:36PM

I like the 1996 Viper GTS. Just the sound of it gets my heart pounding. I'll probably never own one, but I sure wouldn't mind taking one out for a spin sometime!

Thanks for the giveaway.

michael · July 20, 2003 5:38PM

a great thread lucy!
much interesting information and a really great read!

thanks!

raycyca · July 20, 2003 5:53PM

I've owned/own too many hot rods to pick just one. That's why I still have my 3 current mustangs: 96 Mystic Cobra(paint is same as on $20, 50, $100 bills and changes colors), 99 Cobra, and 2003 Mach 1. The flashiest was the 69 GTO in Porche Guards red, best cruiser was a 1969 Charger with a police interceptor 440, biggest 56 Lincoln Continenial(huge back seat). Ray

ccrdragon · July 20, 2003 10:23PM

'59 T-bird soft-top...

or

a '53 Buick Roadmaster (my dad still has one of these...)

jeffnpcb · July 20, 2003 10:45PM

500 and 600 SEL Mercedes. Have to have a large and safe car for the kids. My 500SEL rides and drives like a tank, so my little "PANZER" for the power and safety takes a licking and keeps on ticking!! "85 model with over 350,000 miles with no major repairs!!

trozau · July 20, 2003 10:54PM

1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing - It was way ahead of its time

VonZipper · July 20, 2003 11:04PM

<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c0c0c0">It's hard to narrow down to one, I will have to go with a few I have owned over the years.

TONEDDOLLARS · July 20, 2003 11:13PM

When I graduated from high school I bought my next door neighbors car. He had just returned from the army and Vietnam. He bought a fire engine red Ford Tarino. He sold me his 1956 Ford Crown Victoria. This car was his baby. I paid $600 for it .but only told my parents it was $500 because they thought even that was to much. This car was cherry inside and out. It had a 312 police interceptor engine with chrome lake pipes running down the side. It had dress skirts on it and a also came with crussin skirts to boot. There was a continental kit on the rear and three on the floor. He had installed an electric trunk latch which I thought was just so cool. The tires were covered with dodge lancer hub caps that were hard to keep from being stolen. This car had green lights under the hood and trunk when ever you opened either they would come on. The car was painted a pastel colored green with a black convertible top. It also came with the boot to cover the top when down. I also got with the deal about ten years worth of car and driver magazines.

I do not have the car or a picture anymore,just the memorys of one sweet automobile.

Newkid · July 20, 2003 11:18PM

Ferrari like the one in Sammy Hagars` " I can`t drive 55 " video.

tjkillian · July 20, 2003 11:22PM

Mine would be a 1964 Volkwagen Beatle, a bug.

Tom

SmallTownCoins · July 20, 2003 11:23PM

My childhood dream came true 10 years ago when I purchased a 1956 Corvette,
single head lite's, 13 tooth grill, 327 - 4 barrel carb, 4 on the floor, light's em up in all 4..... Red w/ white cove's.....

Here it is with the top on.....

and here it is again with the top off.....

PTVETTER · July 20, 2003 11:31PM

It's a toss up between my 57 Chevy I had when I was a teenager or my 73 Corvette SCCA race vet

CarlWohlforth · July 20, 2003 11:34PM

Of the cars mentioned so far I like the '56 Corvette as well as the Gull Wing Mercedes.

I always had a thing for muscle cars. I've had a few Mopars. So my favorite is the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. The Dodge Daytona is almost exactly the same, but doesn't have the irreverent Road Runner graphics and "beep-beep" horn.

Of course I want one with a Hemi. The 440 with a six pack would be neat too. However I'd be happy with a plain 440 as well

FrattLaw · July 20, 2003 11:44PM

That's funny, we like the same cars.

My father had a 1957 Chevy Bel Air Convertible and use to take it to all the major shows on the East Coast. The car was restored in original condition and was cherry.

His favorite was also the 55 Olds Rocket 88, but he could never find one to restore.

Right before he passed away, he was starting to work on a 1957 Chrysler 300C Convertible. Great car! Unfortunately he never got it finish before he got cancer.

I'd have to say the 57 Chevy, that car is filled with memories for me.

Michael

halfnut · July 21, 2003 12:02AM

Any GTO from 64 to 69 would be my pick. I have always had a place in my heart for a 60's Pontiac. My first car was a 64 Pontiac Bonnaville yep big car. It was the Offical keg runner in my high school days I swear you could put 4 kegs in the trunk

Dan

Ace · July 21, 2003 12:05AM

1967 Mustang 289

hookooekoo · July 21, 2003 12:40AM

I'm not enough of a gear head to know which of any of the numerous "historic" cars that have been mentioned.

I'm also to practical to say something like the Ferrari (but those are sweet looking cars).

But I will say what I wish I could get if the manufacturer would build it...

Honda Accord EX six cyclinder turbo-charged engine with 5 speed manual transmission and without the sun-roof.

I own a Honda Accord LX 5 speed (I love manual transmissions, automatics are too boring). It's a comfortable car with good handling and good gas milage. After all, Honda has been spending decades improving it's design of the Accord.

The problems are that the six cyclinder engins ONLY come with the automatic transmissions, and I can't comfortably fit in an EX (always comes with a sun-roof that eats up head room).

MadMarty · July 21, 2003 12:48AM

My first car was a 65 Ford Fairlane! I drove it until it had 250,000 miles and it finally fell apart!!!

paigowjohnny · July 21, 2003 12:48AM

2002 Porsche Boxster...

LucyBop · July 21, 2003 12:54AM

I couldn't find one vacancy in any hotel online in San Diego, so I didn't make it..... My whole trip was a unplanned last minute thing.... I am going to plan on hitting the Zoo during the next Long Beach show....

mojorizn · July 21, 2003 1:00AM

1972 Olds Cutlass convertible. Restored one right down to the original competition orange paint job once. Now the ex owns it!

Mojo

Typetone · July 21, 2003 1:39AM

Frankly, I don't know much about cars. But, I will vote for the 1968 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible. Why? Well my Dad bought a bright red one new, and gave it to me when I went away to college at Northwestern University on the North Shore of the Chicago area in 1973. Can you imagine a college Freshman with a big motor, red convertible, tooling down Sheridan avenue at night with a few Fraternity buddies cruising for chicks. I don't really know if the car was any good, but I'll tell you that life never got any better than that

Greg

kingmatt · July 21, 2003 1:47AM

'62 Corvair Monza convertible (no I am not a dork)

coinlieutenant · July 21, 2003 2:35AM

Nothing like an original pristine GTO. That is what I would buy if I didnt spend all my extra money on coins...

baccaruda · July 21, 2003 3:08AM

The early 2-seater Thunderbirds are nice - and used to be my favorites, but my ultimate dream car is the triple-white '70 Hurst Olds 442 pace car with the gold racing stripes. I've had a love affair with 442's ever since owning my '69 Cutlass Supreme.

Someday...

baccaruda · July 21, 2003 3:19AM

well, that's my ATTAINABLE dream car.

I had to say the world's perfect car is the Shelby Cobra. Nothing but pure performance. If it doesn't make the car go faster, stop faster, turn harder, or increase the performance of the vehicle - it's not there. No "cutesie" crap - radios, AC etc.

zero to 100 to zero in 10 seconds?

Kelerag · July 21, 2003 3:23AM

mine would be the 1970 Olds 442... thanks for the contest

baccaruda · July 21, 2003 3:26AM

lots of people saying they like the 442. 10 years ago when I used to go to the dragstrip, NO ONE cared about Oldsmobiles. Out of probably 100 cars at the strip, maybe 1-2 would be Oldsmobiles. You'd have to wade through the Chevys and Dodges to find a 442.

MacCrimmon · July 21, 2003 4:18AM

1972 Olds Cutlass S......stock 350 with just a plain old 2 bbl. Was my first car that I bought and paid for......

The old lady (45) I bought it from made me swear I wouldn't race it!!! hahahahaha!!! Sure lady, I'll drive it real sloooooooow! I first had to pick it up and drive it from Foat Wuth to Dallas so the Credit Union guy could approve the loan.....well, I almost wrecked the sucker heading into the old MixMaster before I even left Cowtown.....slick, wet roads, eh!!!

Finally got my heart out of my throat and found a dry road on old 114 and I decided to "peg it"......so, I kept my word for 40 minutes,,,,,,fair enuf!!

Trooper · July 21, 2003 4:24AM

65' Buick Wildcat.
My favorite car is one my cousin had. When we were growing up he got it from his grandmother. What a blast we had. I should have bought it when he sold it. 8 miles to the gallon but worth the memories.
Tom

kamehameha00 · July 21, 2003 4:34AM

76' Grand Marquis Mercury

LucyBop · July 21, 2003 4:39AM

My Father had a lovely 72 Olds Cutlass Supreme with a vinal top which he bought brand new. This car was killer and it was fast, it simply had a rocket 350 with a 4bbl but it would move.... I loved that car... Oldsmobiles have a special place in my heart...

rd5425 · July 21, 2003 5:10AM

I'm gonna have to go with the lotus esprit!

baccaruda · July 21, 2003 5:30AM

Trooper - here's my old Wildcat. Sold it to buy my house (back to the same guy who sold it to me 2 years before, whose kids found it and forced him to buy it back). Definitely the sweetest car I've ever owned - new cars included. 430/360 hp.
