    Tho it was actually asked, I think overall that 1934 was the pinnacle of car design for the average working man.

    Mopar, Ford or GM, none of them built an ugly one.

    I've had a obsession with '32 Fords since purchasing my first one when I was a lad of 12, I have owned a bunch of Model A's and 1940 Fords, but I have owned 12 over the years, I still have a tudor that has been in my possession for many years.

    Now that I am in my 70's I'm starting to think about a '50 Ford truck, nothing fancy just a beater. just a driver, we will see. HRP

    My favorites have always been 37-39 Chev coupes. A close 2nd are the old Austin sedans run in the NHRA gas classes in the 60's.

    I must have built 20 of the AMT 25 T coupe with the Latham supercharger on a MEL engine. My coupe filled that need for quite a while.
    Only thing left is my favorite body style, 65 Mustang fastback 2+2 . I’ve never had one.
    Second favorite is the late model Corvair….with a V8….still makes my pulse race

    51 Buick Special 4 door. (50 and 52 close second). My grandfather had one, light green, with a 3 speed transmission. I towed it to my uncle's house around 1986 or 87. Was sold sometime shortly after that. Been trying to find it, hitting dead ends.

    What a DICK! You're gonna get me banned for too long a list! I'll name a few but holy buttfuck, I can't pick just 1 area. 59 Elcamino, always makes my underwear feel funny. 36 Ford 3W, boner, and as a hot rod not a tail dragger. 39 std tudor. Got one, almost done, fkn love it. 65 GTO, same. 41 Continental, the only car I'd have in maroon and I hate that color but it's perfect for those. Model J Duesy, I'd have to be a lottery winner but that's ok. I've driven 4 so far and all I can say is "Fuckin eh" whenever I get it back. 36-7 Cord in the simple Westchester sedan. Sexy, I've driven several open versions and they're one helluva road car for 36-7. 34 Packard 8, never met one I didn't like. 40 Ford cpe, Std preferred but either will do. See, I barely picked a scab and I'm nowhere near done...:eek:

    Shoebox Fords, 49-51, espcecially the coupes, but I like a well choped tudor, the woodies and a rag top.

    Right now, it's my '62 Impala and '29 Roadster. There are others, but these two are at the top of the list for now. 276F1A42-7BB5-41E3-8FB8-BF3F64DF9C80.jpeg C6FBFD3A-8CF5-4163-B7B7-98E1ED3A836E.jpeg BAA5FCC0-5A37-4ED3-8C32-6D80790EC9FE.jpeg 807D0A4C-EC67-4BB8-A144-4C0F4729E51C.jpeg

    1956 Anything…….one of the best styling years of the century in my opinion.
