What car out of any year, maker, style would you like to have if money was no problem and even if

[debm55]

they are no longer being made. I would like to have another Jeep Liberty. I loved that car. Fire Engine Red.

[dchill]

1. 1955 Packard Caribbean.

[debm55]

2. Is there a reason for selecting this car? Thanks.

[dchill]

25. According to Jay Leno...

... it's like driving your couch. So, smooth ride, I'm thinking. Plus, it's gorgeous!

[moniss]

6. A fine automobile and

highly prized to this day.

[roamer65]

3. Bright Red Lamborghini Huracan.

That’s the one splurge I would make if I won Powerball or Mega.

[gay texan]

4. 1969 Boss 302

Equipped with the Uber rare "cross boss" intake and carburetor. 4 speed manual. Yellow. Front and rear deck spoilers

[Hotler]

46. Good choice. High reving small blocks are the shit. Why just the other day I watched a Youtube vid

in black/white of Bill Grumpy Jenkins first running and win of his small block Vega against the Mopar big blocks. So cool.

[gay texan]

55. It had a road racing pedigree n/t

[doc03]

5. A 48 Tucker. nt

[sanatanadharma]

7. Fully equipped high-end last production year before the facelift ...

1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Combi with all the windows, sunroof, etc

[yorkster]

8. A new hybrid Toyota Highlander.

We have a 10yr. old Hundai Santa Fe. It's OK but I liked our old Highlander - a bit higher up and I could "read the road" better. Also, Santa Fe driver side mirror mount has blind spot when you take a left turn. Can't see the damn curb.

Plus before I leave the planet I'd like a hybrid at the very least. Oh well, not too bloody likely I suppose.

No complaints, but we do a couple of Maine to VA trips a year to see grandchildren and I miss the Highlander on them treacheroso highways, doncha know. Speshly in PA.

[yonder]

9. An original Shelby Cobra or Hudson Hornet

[MiHale]

10. Brand new 2006 Chevy Suburban...

Have a 2004 with over 250,000 miles. New one gets over 300,000. Load capacity is over what I need that’s ok, I use the vehicle as a covered pickup mostly but a nice car with the second row seats down.

[jmowreader]

11. Volkswagen Bus with a Ford 3.0 V6 engine in it

[moniss]

12. This one is tough

between a '57 "Old Gold" Chevy, a 1976 Ford LTD 2 door, a 1965 Olds Starfire Convertible and a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback or convertible. I would probably opt for the 1963 Galaxie in Red with a black interior or vice versa for the Fastback and probably red with a white interior/top for the convertible. Big motor, bench seat and a 4 speed.

[Jilly_in_VA]

13. I wish

I had my 2006 Honda C-RV back. I drove so many happy miles in that car! Husband talked me into trading me in on the 2019 H-RV I drive now and I really don't like it that much.

[First Speaker]

14. Either a Duesenburg or an Edsel...

...The Duesie, because I love the Ellery Queen novels, and he drove an old Duesie all over the US. Just incredibly cool. The Edsel, because my Dad worked for Ford in the late 50s and he brought an Edsel home for a week and we drove in it. I was only 5, but I remember just how terrific a car it was. It's gotten maybe the most unfair rap of any product in history...

[leftieNanner]

15. Wish I still owned

My 1963 Porsche 356B cabriolet.

Loved that car. Sold it when we had kids.

[SamKnause]

16. 1980 Buick Regal Limited

Silver Paint.

Half of the roof black leather.

Black pin stripes down the sides.

Aluminum mags.

Black cloth interior.

Awesome sound system.

Handled like a dream.

It was beautiful !!!

It burned to a crisp of the side of the highway.

It burned so hot 2 of the mags melted.

It left a huge burn spot for years until the road was repaved.

[Ptah]

17. The Space Car!

[sinkingfeeling]

18. 1971 Corvette 454

[Alpeduez21]

71. YES!

[JanMichael]

19. Saw a 70's F100 with an electric engine. That was cool.

The past and future all in one.

[Niagara]

20. 1987 Buick Grand National.

This beautiful piece of American heavy metal sold for about 15k in 1987. Today, these sell (depending on condition) from about 60k to 90k.



To find one is rare as there were only so many of them made and was the last year for the Grand National. This vehicle would have ate the 1987 Corvette for breakfast, lunch and dinner.


Of course, we're talking going heavy on fossil fuels here.

[democrank]

21. Old VW bus or a Woody

Any color, any condition

[Hugh_Lebowski]

22. Should I be lucky enough to outlive my mom and stepdad ... I'm looking forward to this beauty

being mine someday. Not to be morbid but presumably that will happen.

Morgan Aero 8. V8 under the hood. Think it's around a 2003 model. Low miles, and my stepdad baby's his four Morgans.

Complete with a bespoke aluminium chassis, all independent suspension and powered by a 4.4 litre BMW V8 engine (M62TUB44) producing 286 bhp (210 kW) at 5500 rpm and 322 lbf·ft (430 N·m) at 3750 rpm this was a radical departure from the traditionally built Morgans. Performance was 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 160 mph.

[Glamrock]

24. Dude! Sick!

I love Morgans!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

26. You feel me Bruddah!

I pretty much grew up crammed into the back of 1970 4/4, my parents are huge Morgan fans since I was like 5 years old. My young life in Cali was all Concourse's and Morgan Club trips and rallies. They still have that ride.

Hell their 4th one is one they keep in England for when they travel there to putter about with UK Morganers. THAT one I kinda hope they sell sometime soon, I really don't want to have to navigate that whole 'foreign-owned car' situation.

They know Peter Morgan personally, been to the factory probably 10 times in Malvern. I've been there too in 1977 as a 5th grader. My mom and couple others organized a "Morgan's Over New Zealand" trip I think about 10 years ago, and people shipped their rides from like 10 countries to do a two week trip in the NZ countryside.

I could go on but you get the gist

Here's the 4/4 they keep in the UK:

[Glamrock]

28. That's awesome! I'm jealous!

Taking my Lotus to the Lotus Owners Gathering in Knoxville next week. Gonna hit the Devil’s Triangle, Tail of the Dragon, etc….

I’m psyched!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

29. Your ride is friggin sick buddy!

When my stepdad married my mom in 1967 one of the first things he had to do was sell his cherished Sunbeam Tiger so there would be room for me lol. I'm not sure he ever forgave me

Some more pics from 2019 when "Morgans over America" came through Tucson and Scottsdale and I went to gatherings at each stop since I live in Mesa. Again organized by my mom and a few other Morgan Club members. Cars came from 5 or 6 countries for the 3 week journey.




Of course one rich-ass Morgan owner had to show off his new McLaren he took on the journey instead of his Morgan.

[Glamrock]

36. Thanks, bro! I'm totally in love with it.

Mrs. Glam just bought me a used spoiler for it that they no longer make. She knocked it out of the park! I’ve vowed to myself not to roll my eyes when she starts telling me about her co-worker’s cousin’s next door neighbor’s girlfriend coming down with cancer (just one example). For at least six months. LOL!

That’s so awesome that your folks had you around Morgan’s so much. That was one I was considering before I settled on the Elise.

P.s. that last pic is an Aston Martin….

[Hugh_Lebowski]

37. SORRY, you're right!

I got them confused. I knew it was wicked expensive British sports car

I'll look forward to the pics with the new spoiler (not like it needs another).

And yeah, sometimes we have to nod and appear to care about a friend 5 times removed, just because

[a kennedy]

32. OMGAWD, I WANT THIS CAR.......absolutely beautiful. I WANT IT.

[Glamrock]

23. 2017 - current Ford GT!

Would have to be in the original GT40 livery colors.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

31. Can't argue with that!

Cept I'm too big for cars like this. Love 'em, but I'm too big a dude

[a kennedy]

33. Nope, these to me are just stupid looking.......and sorry JMHO. Now, that Morgan up in the above

comments, now you’re talking of a beautiful car. ♥️

[thatcrowwoman]

27. 1956 Ford Thunderbird, Bermuda Blue.

My fairy godmother would bibbidi bobbidi boo it so it would run without fossil fuels, too. 😉

My sweet mama wanted a powder blue one, but she never learned to drive anything but an automatic. She drove the heck out of her automatic Volkswagen Rabbit, though. My best friend’s grandma other taught my mom to drive when I was in high school. We were a one car family before then.

🕊thatcrowwoman

[Chainfire]

30. Nothing too fancy or expensive. I would be happy with a '68 Chevy Chevelle SS396,

two door convertible, blue and white please. The automatic transmission version would be about right. That was the "hot car" in the days when I was in high school. My second choice would be a 67 Fairlane, the car I got laid in the first time. I will always have a soft spot for that car.

I have never been a car jock. My whole life I have bought sensible compact cars. Today, I drive a KIA because it does everything I want a car to do.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

34. 66-70 Chevelle I'll take any of them, one of my faves for sure.

Of course it was also the golden years of Mustangs, Firebirds, Camaros, and Chargers, so ... almost any of those would do nicely for me.

But '68 SS396 Chevelle would be REAL high on that list

Also a small-block 400 1968 Firebird.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Jaguar XKE

Probably 1965. They made them from the early 60s to the mid 70s, but I'm going with '65.

[malthaussen]

51. The late lamented Pinboy3niner had one of those...

... might have been a later year. Bought it right after he came home from 'Nam.

-- Mal

[ProfessorGAC]

53. Did Not Know That!

I'm jealous! That must have been fun to drive.

[Mr.Bill]

38. A '53 Corvette.

They only made 300 of them, and it was the first year for Corvettes. I was also born in '53. I've owned two Corvettes in my life, a '57 when I was 19 and an '05 which we bought new. The retirement budget unfortunately has no room for a Corvette. I'm glad I had them when I could.

[Talitha]

39. 1970 Opel GT, sunflower yellow

[GP6971]

40. 57 Chevy. n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

41. 260 Z which was my dream car back when I cared about

that sort of thing

I am currently looking for a car. If I did not need to consider $$, I would get a high end hybrid SUV but not the giant ones. Middle size would be best.

Like a NIssan Rogue.

[Solly Mack]

42. 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Coupe, hardtop.

Either imperial blue or red body, with checkerboard and single stripe interior (in black). Checks for the back seat, single middle stripe for the front seats.

[pansypoo53219]

43. i think it's a 71 pontiac bonneville, but i loved my great-aunt's 67 catalina while i had it + i

loved my 72/73 olds delta 88s, oh! buick wildcat. any early 70's.

[Emile]

44. 1935 Auburn 851 Speedster

[malthaussen]

52. Yeah, those Auburns were great. n/t

[SKKY]

45. 1960 Nash Metropolitan.

0-60 in 22.4 seconds of pure magic.

[Hotler]

47. Does it have to be street legal? This for the sound alone.

[debm55]

48. Doesn't matter.

[Prairie_Seagull]

49. Oh my fuck, there are some cool cars here.

but what I have been jealous of since I was a kid is an AMC AMX with a built 390. One of the fastest 1/4 mile machines I have ever been in. It was my best friends car in high school. My dad had a body and paint shop and we painted it for him. It was slick. Metal flake blue. In the old days after one painted real metal flake. The paint gun had to be rebuilt.

Saaweet.

[malthaussen]

50. '65 Mustang ragtop.

Think you asked this one already.

-- Mal

[debm55]

60. I think it was "what was your first car you owned" For that question I answered my 1965 Chevy

Impala. Aqua Blue. No power steering but automatic. It was a tank. This one has no money involved
so we can dream to our hearts content. And I got in trouble for posting it--callled a phisher in my mail as it was a security
question.

[onethatcares]

54. 1969 Rambler Scrambler or

an AMX

[yellowdogintexas]

56. One more: my dad's 1966 or thereabouts Dodge Dart

slant 6 engine

The Car Guys called it the Dartrah

[Aristus]

57. A 1968 Citroen DS sedan.

Citroen's sedans and cabriolets from the 1960's were marvels of visual design and aesthetics. They still look futuristic today. I'd love to have one.

[Elessar Zappa]

58. New Porsche 911

Or used. I love those cars!

[BluesRunTheGame]

59. Early 1900s Goat Mobile

[NNadir]

61. If I have to have a car, I guess the one I have is the best.

It's a 2023 Camry Hybrid LE, suitable for business purposes, but still getting close to 60 mpg. Comfortable, wonderful safety features, getting better mileage than advertised, automatic cruise control with self stopping features, warning sounds and back up camera.

I actually oppose the car CULTure, but I'm a participant in it nonetheless. If it is necessary to have a car to keep the roof sealed, and the family safe, this is the best I can do.

The LE is the lowest model by the way, but I bought it because it had the best gas mileage of the Camry Hybrid models. I can't imagine that the more expensive versions can offer anything that I would value over the mileage.

My only complaint is that the promised to give an extra fob - they only gave one on purchase - and have not honored doing so.

[justaprogressive]

62. Any Lancia

Beautiful and beautifully made.


Flaminia

Fulvia


Beta


Delta


Stratos

In full race livery

...and unlike American cars of that vintage, it won't sound like ball-bearings in a tin can as you drive down the road

[Emile]

63. 1948 Tucker Torpedo worth around two million if you can find one.

[Emile]

64. 1938 Delahaye 165 Cabriolet

[RobinA]

65. Cadillac Coupe de Ville

1960, Siena Rose

[beaglelover]

66. Astin Martin DB12

[GoodRaisin]

67. An old restored VW bug ragtop.

In my youth I owned 3 different bugs, including one convertible I bought that needed a lot of work. I loved those old bugs. Never really got the convertible on the road long enough to fully enjoy it though. It needed more work than I had money so I ended up re-selling it.

[mockmonkey]

68. 1957 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman 2-Door Hardtop

[debm55]

69. My aunt had one like that but it was sort of a dusty or pale green. they kept it for quite a while.

[Prairie_Seagull]

70. Recently drove a 2023 Mustang EV special order. Holy shit is it fast from 0-60 or so.

I can't think of a single reason why someone would need to accelerate like this, ok maybe collision avoidance but for most it is to much acceleration IMO. I have to admit it was a blast to drive. Not a salesman but if you want to burn up an afternoon. Check it out.

Edit to add, It was so quiet that I believe there is risk in not having a motor sound. Maybe there was one included with the software but I did not check for this. Additionally the fact that is has software that needs to be updated is a flaw to me. This car was in the 90k range and the fact that the home office has some control is not something I would ever consider. Some will know where Hood Canal is in WA state. We drove it on a curvy road near Belfair on a beautiful sunny day during the time of the perceid meter shower. Did not drive at night but we stayed on the canal and what a show.
