Art & Inspiration HAMB worthy cars you have owned.

Two different '53 Buick Specials. The purple one actually had working reverse and was my namesake on the HAMB. The gray one drove from Houston to Vegas along with my '54 Chevy 2d sedan in the early 90s. The '56 was my first car at 14 years old in 1982. The A was my first hot rod Ford.

I have an 05 Magnum RT, I really like this car, Inferno Red Crystal Pearlcoat , beautiful original mint car, I will keep it to my expiration date. Going to sell off some of my other cars this summer, mint orig OT cars.

 

I agree, I only posted photo's of cars that I have owned. There were many more back in the 60's and 70's but I never thought to take pictures of them.

 

Wow Mark, a rare electric Pontiac! Range limited by cord length though, huh?

Built a '48 Ford pickup, 302/C4 after college. Chopped it. Wife (to be) hated riding in it...sold it, but kept her for 43 years now.

Most of the cars I had through the years were OT with most of the years in the mid sixties. Although I did have a 63 1/2 Falcon hrdtp with a 260 as my first car. I’ll have to see if I can find the pics of it somewhere around here but this is the only one I can post for now and it was my daily for years
