Had a chance this weekend to get up close and personal with one of my Dream Cars this weekend
how about the rest of you?
I drove my dream car for an hour+ into the mountains & then parked it for most of the weekend. I enjoyed taking the long way home this evening.
HA. I can't afford that or even a newer one. I keep my dreams at least semi-realistic. I actually owned one of these when I was in the army; I'd like another. It's a Triumph Spitfire:

It's not really a dream car per se', but it looks like a late model 300 or Charger for me pretty soon.....luck willing.
It's really a good imitation except for the size (from the outside anyway.)It's not really a dream car per se', but it looks like a late model 300 or Charger for me pretty soon.....luck willing.
The super Bee never got the respect the Chargers, Darts and Challenger got IMO, a very under rated yet totally bad ass machine
I had the exhaust break immediately behind the exhaust manifold, I already had a header for it, so just put it on. Also lost the fan clutch at some point. I was on a road trip and lost both rear u-joints while en-route to my next duty station or I'd still be driving that. Never had a problem with the electrics. The only thing I didn't like on that car was the non-retracting, retracting seat belt. That's the car that got me wearing seat belts, voluntarily, long before they were required by law. You only have to be driving on the highway looking UP at the undercarriage of a semi to be convinced.

In college, there was a 1960 Buick LeSabre parked in a lot near my house. I tried to make an offer to buy it, but the owner eventually decided that he wanted to hold onto it. I double-checked before graduating and the guy got really angry, as though it was the 1,000th time someone had inquired about the car.
Fast-forward 10-11 years later and I had occasion to visit my old college town for a weekend. Much had changed in the intervening years... new bars, restaurants, the old record store where I worked was long gone. But the Buick? It was still sitting in the same spot, windows smashed, tires flat, chrome stripped. A rotted-out rust bucket. Good thing "ownership" is always more important than "stewardship." I still get weak in the knees when I see one in any condition.

I love fins, why cant somebody bring back fins ? '59-'60 was a big year for fins, I always thought that was a cool look. Buicks, chevy's, caddy's all had 'em
I've never driven one, although I have laid hands on one. My dream car was/is the 1954-1963 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe (1400 made). Not fast by today's standards, but one of the top 10 beautiful and most classic cars ever made.
