jsharr ★ Posted July 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2020 You can go forward or back 10 years and pick any car to be your dream car / daily driver. Not a what can I sell for the most money. What would it be? Also, maintenance is provided for your car. All you have to do is drive it and put gas in it. Unless you are a wierdo and have an electric car. Mine would definitely be Detroit Big Three, but man, there were some many cool cars from 1954 to 1974 that I would have a really hard time playing this reindeer game of mine. 1964 Impala SS 409? 1955 Chrysler 300 1964 C10 stepside? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Share #5 Posted July 1, 2020 I had my dream car in high school. 55 Chevy. I wouldn’t want it now. They have made some major improvements in the last sixty five years. I found my 55 in the want ads in the newspaper. A farmer had it and when he bought his new car he just parked it in the field beside the barn. He sold it to me for thirty dollars. I jumped it and drove it home. I fixed it up and kept it for seven years. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted July 1, 2020 Share #18 Posted July 1, 2020 Early 1970’s Jeep Wagoneer. I remember as a kid my dad was going to buy one but couldn’t pull the trigger. He went home to sleep on it, decided he wanted it so went back the next day & it was gone... I really liked that jeep and wanted one ever since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
