Poll question: Car people: What's your favorite auto decade?
I have to go with the 60's.. Italian and British roadsters, Porches, Hotrods, Stingrays, Cobras and the beautiful production muscle cars, like the 68' Camero.

What decade do you think had the coolest cars?

1. The '60s
But there were some pretty cool cars in the '20s too (being a '20s fann, I can't help but toss that out there).:D

2. Is there anything about the 60's that is not cool?
Okay- perhaps this is some faux nostalgia here, having been born in '72- but I love the music, TV shows, cars, comics, models, clothes, pop culture etc from the 60's...

3. The Fifties
And don't ask my why but there just isn't anything cooler than a '57 Chevy. Well, except a 64 Mustang, but for the whole decade, I'm a 50's car fan.

4. I am the one who voted for the 70's (so far)
Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 12:36 AM by Cobalt Violet
But I really only like the early seventies pre-pimp mobile cars. 70-72 muscle cars.

The part are still available and it is easier to make repairs than later model cars. Nothing was computerized yet.

5. 30's 40's
Mainly because I love original jeeps and my uncle is a car GENIUS. I'm not kidding. His 34 ford street rod was featured in ecpo 86 and on the cover of hot-rod magazine (U.S. edition). The guy is unbelievable.

9. 60s/early 70s...
I'd love to have a 68 Camaro RS convertable. Or a GTO. Or a 72 Dodge Challenger. Or a Hemi 'Cuda.

What can I say? I like me some muscle cars. Easy to work on too.
