Hot Rods Is there a patricular car that you have always liked but never owned

I have been a car nut since I was a kid and I don't have a clue as to how many cars & trucks I have owned in my lifetime, I bought my first car in 1962 at the age of 12, I've owned my far share of on and off topic cars but is there a on topic car that you like but for some unknown reason you never found yourself in the right set of circumstances to buy that elusive car or truck.

As a teenager I loved the 1955 Chevy's, my uncle had one in the late 60's, it was yellow 2 door post, 327/ 4 speed car with a black interior out of a '64 Impala super sport, that car made a lasting impression on me and I can still see it vividly in my mind when I close my eyes.

How about you guys, is there a car you think, someday it might happen. HRP

 

I have always thought the 65 Mustang fastback was my favorite designed car. Never even came close to owning one

 

This "little ol lady" 57 one-fifty that parked in front of my house many years ago, she must have been visiting the LOL next door, honestly, I would see her driving it a couple times a year.
Didn't see her get in it and leave and never saw it again.

 

63 Galaxie XL...big block/4spd of course. There are other off topic ones as well.

 

1963-64 Studebaker Avanti, R2 4 speed.
KK

 

I had one and loved it, it wasn't perfect but it was a lot of fun, I traded the car for a 1956 Harley, the guy still has it, the motorcycle is gone. HRP

 

I have always wanted 2 different cars, One is a Hemi GTX and a 40 Willys gasser. Well I'm still waiting for the Gasser. Maybe some day if I can live long enough.

 

Yeah, a 1932 Ford 3 window coupe. I came close with my 5 window but always thought the 3 window was just perfectly styled. Never found one for sale at the right time and right price.
Most every other car I have wanted, I found a way to purchase. Then realized after I bought them that they weren't as great as I had envisioned so I sent them down the road with someone else. But some, like my 59 Vette, I regret having to sell and wish I had found a way to keep it......maybe someday.....

 

I won’t have enough time to ever own any of these. 49-51 mercury, f100 through 1960, 1964-5 falcon sport roof, comet caliente, and a few off topics. Should have started sooner or sell a few that I have now.

'32 Ford Cabriolet

 

Mine would be a 1955 Ford Crown Victoria. Been close to buying a couple different ones at different times but missed both times. One the most wanted I missed by being too slow by one hour. Oh well, some day!

 

Of the trifive Chev's I've always like the 56's the best. I've owned a 55 and two 57's but for some reason the 56 has remained elusive but ya never know what the future might bring.

 

Yes a 50 Olds 88, hardtop or convert. Always wanted one, and never bought one.

 

32 ford 5 window, full height, full fendered.
I'll never be able to afford one.

 

Wow … what a topic !
'57 DeSoto coupe
'40 Ford Tudor

'49 Cad coupe
'40 Buick 60 series 4 door (C body)
'38 or '40 LaSalle coupe
'56 Nomad - a black one
'59 Impala coupe
'64 -'65 Chevelle 2 door wagon
'35 Chev coach
'56 Chrysler 300
'49 Ford coupe
'41 Chev Special Deluxe 2 door
'41 Chev Fleetline
'57 Ford Del Rio

'57 Plymouth hardtop
Almost any '58 -'66 Bonneville coupe
'55 Safari
There's more … lots more.

 

I've been fortunate enough to have owned pretty much all of my bucket list cars. The only ones left would be a Nomad/2 door wagon that actually ran and drove, possibly a 55 Stude Conestoga, and lastly an Iris Mist 64 GTO post.....

 

That was the very first car I purchased, at 12 years old.

My dad wore a belt out on my butt! HRP

 

AC Cobra

I don’t want a real one either, I’d just ruin it. If anyone has a stalled project....

 

The list is long, I will start with a 32 3 window, 40 Ford Cp, 56 f 100, 55 Chevy, 58 vette , and more

 

'53 Stude Starlite Coupe (with the post, not a hardtop).

 

nope

 

Like many, I've been able to snag most of my "grails" over the years, within reality of course, some just long enough to say I had one. There are a few that I know are definitely out of my league, so I don't think along the lines of ever owning one. That said, I would say that a stock 1934 Ford 3 window coupe would be my most desired car. Maybe in my next life.

 

That's funny HRP. My Dad's first car was a 1932 coupe he paid $25.00 for.

 

I guess the three I have wanted to park in my garage is a 1955 Chevy with a blown six and a 4 speed number two is my Dad's 1936 Ford Cabriolet with the rumble seat and a replica of his 1937 Chevy coupe race car. Mmmmmm not letting me upload the pic of race car

 

GT40

 

57 Eldorado


And 49 thru 51 Woodie

 

No, Not really, when I make/made up my mind on what I wanted or thought I needed, I made it happen. As a kid, some things my parents said to me I've always remembered, one being "There are No Excuses, Make it Happen" this was instilled in me from little on and I am Thankful for them. I have passed this onto my children with a few others thoughts of mine. I guess the only car I thought/talked about and just never got around to would be a Corvette, (guess'n I really didn't want/need one) I really like the new ones, C6 and the mid engine 2020 but now too old stiff/arthritic, they're too hard to get in/out, I don't drive my OT Camaro ragtop much because of this.

 

Owned over 100 in my days, only 1 left is a B-400 and my days are gettin less and less

 

39 40 ford vert
