Cars that I'd.....

[Lucky13]

Would love to restore a pre-70ish Mopar, but also a '40 Ford or a'59 Chevrolet El Camino or.....so many nice back in the day!

<Deep Sigh>
Cars today just don't have this kind of elegance.

 

[Lucky13]

Only thing that they've got, is plenty of plastic and around the corner life expectancy!

Look at the concept beauties from the 50's

Some were a bit....

The '53 Cadillac Ghia looks pretty modern and I wouldn't mind owning that '54 De Soto Adventurer.

You may notice that the '55 Lincoln concept was inspiration for Chuck Barris' Batmobile, too...

That's the first thing that came to mind Dave. Who painted the Batmobile white?!

 

[GrauGeist]

This is actually the world's first Batmobile, hand-made body on a '56 Oldsmobile chassis. It was used as a promo for several years and then ended up sitting in a field for decades. It was finally purchased and restored in Sacramento recently.

From what I understand, Chuck Barris actually bought one of the three '55 Lincoln concepts (for a dollar) in '66 and made the legendary Batmobile for the TV show.

Find myself going back to those El Caminos.....d*mn they're beautiful!

My Mom had a 1961 Belaire when I was a kid. I think the most memorable thing about that car was the "cat's eye" tail lights

My error on the year, it was a 1959

Had a 348 V-8 in it, too

Not sure why I said 1961, though Mom had a 1941 Ford convertible when she was in college

 

[Lucky13]

Hmmmmm.......wouldn't mind to do a factory special of a 1969 Dodge D100 Stepside like this...
All black, tinted windows, classic American Racing(?) wheels or something else fitting, low exhaust system, Dana 60, four on the floor, lengthened with a pistol grip, the obvious 426 Hemi under the hood....maybe the not too obvious Air Grabber scoop as well....

 

[GingahNinja]

To this day this is my favorite muscle car. I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

'72 Olds 442 in a nice cherry red with black racing stripes on the cowls on the hood. B-E-A-UTIFUL

 

[Lucky13]

Very nice! 8)

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree, beautiful!

My little street car since 2005. It got more and more serious...
454 built by me, most of the bells and whistles but a serious eye on costs
1.62 60 ft 11.72/113.49


the next one 22 years with me, brought it back from the dead

Beautiful Chevelle, but I've never seen one like that. Was the back section of the cab chopped???
