78 malibu wagon.. my fathers been driving it for 15 years or so. It has over 450k miles on the tiny 305 sbc. Runs like a dream, even though it smokes like crazy..
My daily is a 66 Mustang coupe, 289, auto...except in winter. Snow and Mustangs should never been in the same sentence...other than this one
I drive my 63 Valiant all over San Diego. 3 on the tree - oil leaking 170 Slant... way too much fun. I have to slow way down for the dips - the trany xmember smacks the ground prety hard now that the subframe is notched and I found really short shocks for it. Time for some air shocks!...
My daily drivers over the past six years have been a '64 Ranchero mild custom, '64 Falcon hardtop, '56 Buick Special 2 door post, '65 Falcon wagon, and now my '53 F-100.
My daily driver is a 1960 Mercury Comet. After sitting for 32 years in a field in WI I thought it was time to break her in. 33k miles only! If i am not driving her I am riding Vintage Vespas, last resort the '03 Explorer. Duane
My daily driver is my faithfull old chopped 51 Poncho and apart from having no door seals which makes it real wet inside and having to make a 2 mile detour to work to avoid the speed bumps ( she's low at the rear ) she drives real well.
The wife has been driving her '62 Fairlane for 12 years now,and now we both drive it since I painted and trimmed it, but we purchased a '77 2WD Blazer last year for children and their gear.The fairlane is still the best to start on a cold winters morning at 5am just to say hi to the neighbours.
Every day driver until last week - starter solenoid went out, couldn't get one until this morning, should have it back on the road this weekend with any luck...
You fellas are posting a lot of pics of MODERN cars. I DO own a 66 Chrysler Convertible that I rarely drive and I do drive my 57 Chevy daily, but my OLD cars are driven the most. Stock 1931 Ford coupe, 1935 Ford pickup, and 1939 Ford pickup. My 22 yr old kid drives his 59 Ford--his only car, but it a modern car too. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------they quit making old cars in 1948, everything since is modern

WELL, cross my 56 off the daily driver list for a while, Blew it up on the way to work this morning -J.
My Daily driver since Aug. 2002 (see link below). I have about 25,000 miles I have put on her. I have decided to let her sit for awhile till I find a job and mainly drive my wife's Toyota. My back-up car is an '83 Caddy.
Sorry, no pix, but the newest car/truck I own is a '72 SS El Camino. Original 4-sp, buckets, console, etc. It's what I drive when the weather is not good enough to drive Clarence or ride a H-D.
My first car and daily driver was a 1959 Ford Zephyr, i also used to drive daily a 1957 Vauxhall Cresta, and when she's finished my 51 GMC will be a daily driver. Daisyduke
