Art & Inspiration What car/year really makes you tick??????

Cristman Brothers rear engine Bonneville Coupe.

 

Allmost everything 55-64 gm or ford.
And 57 chrysler, 57-58 Plymouth and 57-59 dodge.

 

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.

 

dang near anything from 59-64 usually gets me licking my chops

 

For a while it has been Mike Young's 60 Chevy EXOTICA.

 

1937 anything.........................almost

 

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...

 

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.

 

I LIKE EM ALL.
SOME I FIT IN, SOME I DON'T

 

Oddball custom oddities from folks like Roth
Bubble tops
Boat flake amd Naugahyde

 

Luxo cruiser/custom: 39 Buick sedan
Hot rod: 33 3-window coupe with full fenders
Go fast: 64 GTO

 

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

 

49-52 Mopar…

 

Seems some Hambers like just about everything with 4 wheels… hey… who could blame them…. these are the same guys that sneak cars into the fold when the misses aint lookin..
