Of those three, I would have looked at your car the most. Even though I own a "Muscle car" I really like the older stuff. I have two project cars, a 1950 and a 1939 Pontiac.Man I love that '48 Chevrolet woody wagon! Wish I could afford one...
I have owned a '48 Chev. Fleetmaster two-door Town Sedan for the last 20 years. 56K original miles. Super nice survivor "working man's car".
I don't show it much anymore. Most people at shows want to see 60 - 70's muscle or something exotic. Last time I showed I was parked between a late 60's Mopar muscle car and '58 Ford retractable (top partially open). My car was almost invisible.
I had a '51 Chieftain 2 dr. many years ago - with the amber Indian head hood ornament that lit up at night. Pretty cool car but it was DOG slow (flathead straight 8 w/Hydra-Matic). The '39 has great lines. I recently saw a barn-find '39 on a YouTube video. It was a Canadian car with a Pontiac version of the old (1937 - 53) Chevy Stovebolt OHV 6 cylinder. I know the Canadian Pontiacs used Chevrolet engines well into the 50's. I've seen a '56 Pontiac with a 261 OHV 6 in it (only available for GM big trucks in the US).
They also brought us the firebird. My first car was a 1967 firebird …. My second car was a 1968 firebird. I wish I still had them!
I would love to have a Fiero. I just can't get in and out of one anymore. Sames goes for a Corvette.
a good friend of ours passed earlier this year. He bought a 1969 SS396 brand new when I was a teenager. He passed away earlier this year, but still owns this Chevelle. His son now has it. It still looked like a brand new Chevelle.
The 68' Firebird was a good looking car. My first car was a 68' Mercury Cougar that I inherited from my Grandfather. I wish I still had it.
A long time friend of mind has a 1969 Chevy Camero z28 with 302 engine It was purchased used by him in 1971 He has done a complete resonation and he always had it stored indoors He paid about $2000.00 when he purchased it And now it s worth about $100000.00 In 1971 no one was thinking a 1969 Z28 302 Camero would become a car collector's dream .And while he always took good care of the things he owned It was not like he had a plan It just sort of turned out that way as time went on .During the time it was his primary transportation I got the chance to drive it Old cars are pretty cool And for many that have one they are the pride and joy of a lifetime of effort Very nice post And some fantastic old cars Very good post
