Always was a Mopar guy. But even those cars you wouldn't give a second look at look good now that I'm older. Garage queens, no thanks. Something to run, drive and enjoy for me. If it happened to be a Runner or GTX.....
What kind of vintage car do you wish you had?

I think it's a '51 Mercury trailer queen with a tiny but of customization. .

Somehow I visualize Cheech and Chong in that car with a pair of big dice hanging from the rear view mirror.

Wouldn’t mind having my ‘70 Camaro SS 4 speed back. Man that was a powerful car. Also loved my ‘77 CJ-7 Golden Eagle 304 V-8 & 4 speed back for summer fun. Had a beach house with the guys from my team and that was the vehicle of choice for beach cruisin.

Me too!
Had a couple in my teens and tried to find a decent one 7-8 years ago but to no avail (at reasonable price.)
Got a MR2 instead!

Had also considered a MG B but again either major restoration or hanger queen.
Sold the MR2 last year during height of Covid and realized a very decent price all considering.
Off season storage was one major problem and considering my very minimal usage it was time for it to go.

That's one of the prettiest cars ever built by Ford Motor Company; I could never understand why anyone would want to chop the top. I have only seen one car with a chopped top that I thought it improved the looks. It was a 1951 Ford, and the chop was very slight.
