    I have 3 out of the 4. Most are projects though!
    #1 My 1951 Mercury Mild Custom
    #2 My 1929 Model A Roadster.( Eventually with a Model b motor, Riley 4 port and Halibrand Quick change).
    #3 My 1933Ford Pickup
    #4 I would like a land speed car like the Niekamp Roadster.

    I never thought of it that way, but I kind of agree. With no interest in racing for me it's 3 cars:

    Custom-ish '38 convertible
    [​IMG]

    Stock-ish '50 wagon
    [​IMG]

    '59 pickup, decidedly non-stock

    No racer for me either, but;
    2 clones;
    Westergard 39 convertible that's in the Harrah collection in Reno.
    Don Hentzells 27 RPU on 32 rails with A fenders.

    33 Ford, slightly updated, pickup. OK, as long as were dreaming make that a 33 Sedan Delivery.
    Now that I'm awake let's see if I can get the Westergard right.

    Well, I need to post pictures, but I'll just go with 4 of them I have now.
    59 Corvette - 377" steet engine - occasional cruising and strip teasing. .
    36 Chevy Truck - 355" mild build, stainless flatbed- drive the poop outta this thing.
    40 Chevy Coupe - really large BBC - hitting the streets & strip in 2019.
    49 Willys Pickup - flathead ford power. - does not get out much, but it hauls firewood. Restoration coming when I retire.

    1) 32 Bantan J/A
    2) 30 Hiboy
    3) 62 Cutlass
    4) Station wagon, maybe this one (not mine)

    Three spots taken, still have room for the fourth one.

    I'm in the warehouse camp myself... I aspire to Jay Leno's collection, or at least something of similar size. Somehow I doubt I'll ever get anywhere close...
    But back to the task at hand!
    Custom - 1960s Lincoln Continental MkIV, 4-door convertible
    Hot Rod - 1928-1932 Ford, 4 door phaeton
    Race Car - Shelby Daytona coupe
    Pickup - Hudson Terraplane, although the 1958 F100 posted earlier is awfully tempting

    Hello,

    For an old guy with some history in the hot rod/drag race world, the hot rods/cars/trucks would be the following. But, first, we would have to get a 4-5 car garage, which means moving again, which means inland from the coast to afford a 5 car garage. My wife would have something drastically to say about such a move, despite the huge house, new hot rods/fast cars, and property that would be purchased. So, for the sake of the topic post, the 5 are:

    1. A 1928-29 EXTENDED CAB Model A RPU, with a blown 292 SBC, with modified Hilborn Injection, B&M stick hydro or similar, quick change rear, Halibrands, big/littles and full upholstery for street driving. Why an EXTENDED CAB/seating area? I am 6 feet tall/wide shoulders and the seating area of the standard RPU is a little cramped for everyday cruising for one or two. We are not straight arm drivers, but like plenty of room when driving.
    upload_2019-2-5_3-52-5.png
    It would only take a few extra inches of body extension rearward of the stock doors. (back to the rear fenders) That would give enough room for two on a daily drive basis. The stock bed length would still be enough for suitcases, tons of succulent plants and maybe some Robellini Palms. (or a shorter bed to keep the proportions similar)

    2. A red, 1965 Chevelle 2 door Station Wagon, big motor, B&M transmission or such, some kind of overdrive unit, A/C, Halibrands/American 5 spoke wheels, tinted windows, S/S interior with Recaro/BMW bucket seats. (safety for my longboard/shortboard)
    upload_2019-2-5_3-54-12.png a 1965 El Camino with purpose...

    3. My original 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery, (my first real purchase, with my own saved money) but with the big 348 motor in place when I saw it rumbling through the Bixby Knolls drive-in parking lot, rather than the stock Flathead. The original bare bones shell and 348/La Salle combination would be preferred.
    upload_2019-2-5_3-55-49.png There would be plenty of power to make those long, coastal, uphill drives easier and faster.

    4. The original Model A that we had purchased in 1957 Long Beach. We were going to make it into a daily street driver and a competitor in the Gas Coupe and Sedan Class at the drags. We got it running with the stock components, but, my brother sold it to finance the 1958 Impala.
    upload_2019-2-5_3-59-2.png Riverside Raceway 1959. This is what it would have looked like after we had built it to race.
    upload_2019-2-5_4-0-23.png
    It probably would have been my first, real, daily driver car when I got my driver’s license. If we had kept the Model A before/after the build it would have served a dual purpose. (before the 1958 black Impala and the 40 Ford Sedan Delivery) My brother already had a nice 51 Olds sedan at the time, or he would have taken the Model A and given me the 51 Olds sedan.

    5. Finally, A 1965 Black AC Cobra 427 CSX, with all of the goodies or with Borrani Wire Wheels. An original, not a re-pop.

    It happened to be 5, not 4 because, if the house were big enough, a 5 car garage would be necessary, then as the 5th garage would need a sunny day driver. So, out pops the 1965-67 (427) CSX Ford Cobra for a nice drive down the OC Coastline.
