Birth year project

Here is one for you Xav...

I was born during the Reagan years....1981. Here are a few things I would consider....

Jeep Grand Wagoneer



Lincoln Continental Mark VI Coupe



or how about an 81 Buick Riviera Convertible....

 

alrighty Mike...just cuz you spilt the beans..just for you

I had about 6 cars before I had a DL...but my first driver was a 1957 Thames..More or less...I bought 2 cars in 2 days...that and a 61 Impala,409/4spd...but I hated it and sold it ASAP...then drove the wheels off my Thames for a couple years !!
I bought the Thames cuz its as old as me
still have my 59 Thames and 58 Anglia !

 

Geez Rev! Are you immortal?

Never been a fan of coupes but just like Zoe makes the odd, occasional exception on wood grain, I too make exceptions. That black beauty is just that. A beauty! But Zoe and I both agree that our next car will be, without exception, a station wagon. Still though a black Mercury is a very special thing indeed, however many doors!

Also, I wish that Lincoln had come in station wagon form during the 80s. They made beautiful hearses, why not wagons.

I'd drive it!

 

Of course it would be very hard to pass up a good bird...

Sweet! Paul Drake drove one of these in Perry Mason show.






Image is Erle Stanley Gardner, man behind all the Mason story lines, brilliant writer!

Well, dadgummit! I can't get the picture to appear! M ay have to call Drake and Mason to investigate!

 

BTW, I really like that little panel van.

You know, I've thought about what it would be like to get a bunch of older vehicles, panel trucks, shipping trucks, and some of the larger station wagons, and having a novelty moving business. Company drivers, of course.

 

you know whats funny...had it for about 30+ years...not a picture anywhere in my computer!!!!!!!!!!!!

except for the ones that other people have put on the NET !

oh..wait...theres a thought ....:banghead3:.........

if i can get this POC to open a 2nd window

well that only took 10 minutes...

Its saved on my computer now.

 

That would be a moving experience!

REV, I like that little panel truck. You need to buy it back.

 

1964 was not a stellar year for automotive styling.. at least in the US.

I guess the 64 model I like the best would be a 4 speed fastback Mustang.. followed closely by a '64 T-bird convertible.

 

I guess then you would want a hard top as the fastback Mustang didn't happen until 65....


But you did have options for a 64 T-Bird rag top......

 

I'm pretty sure the fastback was first produced in September of 1964..

Of course all the "1964 1/2" Mustangs were actually 1965 models.. But
many are listed or known as 64 1/2 since they came out so early in 64..

I was born in October of 64, so there were fastbacks born before me LOL..

BTW, thats a great looking Tbird

 

Well no they were not, the first of the first came with a 260 as a V8 option in 64. No matter what brand, next years model was all ways available long before the next year. Dad bout a 70 Cougar in 69 out of the show room floor, was registered/insured as a 70 with 69 plates......in 1969.
