My Favorite Cars:
I tend to like Plymouth’s from the late 1960’s or early 1970’s:
1972 Plymouth Fury. Modified, these cars can hit up to 195 MPH. My mother actually had one of these when I was 6. The car was totally wasted on her. My mom has always been one of those people that always drives under the speed limit.
1969 Plymouth Fury Convertable
(you can also lump in the Road Runner, and Satellite too)
1972 Cadillac Sedan De Ville – I had one of these, it had a powerful 500 HP Engine and would take off like a rocket. Since it had the awesome Cadillac suspension, it was the smoothest ride I’ve ever owned. I’d love to find another one of these for sale.
1979 Cadillac Eldorado. I owned one of these as well. I loved the Caddy’s of the 1970’s. This too was a smooth ride, but I liked the 72′ a bit better.
1964 Pontiac GTO. I think most people my age have a GTO on their list. This was the classic muscle car of my generation.
1959 Cadillac Eldorado This was the golden age of Cadillac. Just look at the huge fins and the grill work in the front of the car. It was when Cadillac paid attention to details that separated them from the pack.
1987 Buick Grand National. This car deserves special mention. In my opinion, its the last of the great muscle cars. It was often used as a police interceptor, and they were limited in the number that came off the production line. Here’s a video of one that was supercharged to 1000 HP:here
I’ve always loved American cars from the 40’s through the 70’s. They had classic lines and powerful engines. The perfect mix of art meets engineering. It’s really what made people passionate about collecting cars. At some point in the 1980’s (in my opinion) cars all kind of started to look the same. The engineering got better in terms of fuel economy, and motor city still makes great engines, but the style/look/feel don’t really inspire the same sort of dedication and devotion to American Cars as the cars of the 50’s 60’s and 70’s.
You ever hear of anyone looking to restore a 1986 Honda or a 1992 Chevy Malibu?
