    1-'33 Ford Phaeton
    2-'36 Ford Roadster
    3-'55 Chevy Two door Post
    4-'65 Buick Riviera
    5-'49-'51 Merc

    Should be more like 15 it would have been very easy to keep going on this.

    That's just designs if we went for most significant cars it would be a little different.

  6. Personal opinions based on styling, timelessness (was that a word?) and general appeal.

    '37 Ford Coupe
    '37Chevy Coupe
    '55 Mercury
    '56 Ford Crown Vic
    and a tie between a Highboy Deuce Roadster and a '31 AV8 Coupe.



    :)eek: Damn, that's hard for a Chevy guy to admit!)

  8. An old thread, back from the dead. It's cool my car is still on many people's list.

    My question is, why did this astonish you? Why would anyone vandalize a classic car, even in shitty-ass Houston? Steal it maybe. It astonishes me that didn't happen. That's a bad neighborhood.

    Mine? From a somewhat peculiar and decidedly foreign perspective:


    • Ford Model A: the best of the transparent but crude Model T and the pretty but capital-intensive Deuce.
    • Stutz 32DV: the most interesting of an interesting bunch, including Duesenberg, Packard, Marmon, Lincoln, Cadillac, Pierce-Arrow, etc.
    • Jeep
    • 1955-56 Packard: for its innovative suspension
    • Corvette C2

    2. Marmon V16
    3. Ford Mustang
    4. Tri-5 Chevy
    5. Duesenberg Model J
