    For me, it's another red & white more door like the OP.

    Going on 11 years with my Comet... I've had a lot of cars and trucks come and go,(modern and old)but the Comet was the most reliable out of all, inline 6,power nothing, 2 spd Ford-O-Matic, pretty dam simple.

    Put over 45,000 miles on it in mostly So. Cal traffic and heat, it was my daily driver to work and back for years. I don't plan on ever getting rid of it.

    Old faithful, now, almost never gets driven (not by choice).

    Had my 57 Bel Air sport coupe for 38 years. Just sold her. I bought 2 other cars and with a 2 car garage, one had to go. The old Chevy made the best economical sense, although emotionally it was hard to let her go. It looks like the new owner is going to do a total resto - which was what she needed and I had neither the skill nor money to do her justice.
