Pick your favorite iconic car from any decade....
- Thread starter Iridescentone

Anyway... for my iconic car from the decade of the '70s? Here in America, probably one of these two:
A Mustang II. Lots of show, but... very little go. I had the '78 Mercury Capri version; at least it got good gas mileage, and it was gray. So it wasn't very noticeable either.. OR, if you prefer something that's not a Ford?
How about a Vega? I had one of these, too - for just about as long as it took me to get something else. But, although it was an under-powered s**t box, at least it didn't pretend to be anything else. The '70s was not a good decade for me, car wise. I wound up driving a series of hot rodded '60s VW Beetles, and riding fast motorcycles. Both were a lot more fun than any '70s American "performance" car that I could have afforded...

Here's my birth year iconic car. I could use some help with purchasing it. 
Well, then. If we're looking at iconic birthyear vehicles, here's my pick from 1949.
Ok, I will play.
Here is my birth year Vette.

I have no birth year 'Vette or birth year electric bass to show. 1950 pre-dates commercial production of either one.
As an alternative, here's my birth year AJ-2 Savage, a medium bomber that was the first US bomber specifically designed to deliver nuclear bombs. Its service period was 1950-1960, so it retired long before I did.
It had two Pratt & Whitney radial engines (4800 HP total) and one Allison turbojet engine (4600 pounds of thrust). The intakes are hard to spot, but the jet exhaust is under the tail.
I have stood next to one of these still flown in St. George, Utah - they are a very darn mean looking machine up close.

Both 50's, but both much younger than me.

Well, since this has become a birth year car thread....
