what brands or models have you grown to like?

I was recently at one of the larger shows in my area and noticed a number of cars that I would have deemed crush worthy in my younger day. As an example COE trucks ,early fifties Hudsons and others I can't bring to mind at present. Anyone else here that has some to add to the list?>

 

yeah im digging late 40's early 50's hudson's too.

 

I have been pretty much focused on 1 or 2 types of vehicles for many years

But after looking at the all the KOOL, NEAT vehicles that different Hambers have ... I have became more tolarant of others cars and in fact now actually grown to appreciate a lot of vehicles that at one time I would not even look at.

1 ) 49/50/51 Fords
2 ) 37/40 Chevrolet coupes
3 ) 33/34 Mopar coupes
4 ) mid 50's Caddys

.

 

I never have and still do not like the late 30s to 40s GM sedans but now I don't think they should be scrapped like I once did.I have passed up on cheap ones in the past but now I would probably buy one if just to resale.Didn't use to like the 50s Mopars either buy now I think they are cool.

 

When I was riding I thought all cars sucked. Now Im partial to fords from A - 34 and heavily chopped shoeboxes.

 

Same here,, in my old age I realize that any antique car has it merits. I wouldn't crush any of them today.

 

After having my friends 59 edsel sitting in my driveway for 2 months while we work on it i've got to admit that i really dig the lines of that sled. if it were mine i'd have it laying on the frame, maybe a chopped top and some LONG skirts,,,
but its a cool lookin ride.

 

59 Impala / Elco, hated them as a kid. Now I love'm.

 

I knew I was getting old when I started thinking old Impalas were cool.

 

shoeboxes; falcons (of course); always loved A's, because of my Dad; but deep inside i just love old cars, whatever they are. some, i'll run through traffic to see close up, others, i'll crane my neck for. i can't stand new cars, "new" meaning anything past, say, 1974. after that, they went to shit. all of them.

 

Lemme see...My favorite models would be Christy Brinkley and Tyra Banks.

 

I had asimalar experience with a '40 hudson coupe that was sitting where I worked. I ended up buying the thing.

 

Chevrolet USA-1

 

have always loved 40 ford coupes and tri five chevies--have several including a 57 fuely BUT always wanted a 57 Buick Century or a 37 Chevy coupe with a nasty 301 and a 4 spd like an old c gas car--maybe my next one??

 

I really did not care for Edsels at all. But, as time marches on, I find myself wanting a '59.

Same thing with Studebakers. The '59 Lark was a homely car to me. Now, I really like the damn things! The '59 - '66 Studes really are nice-looking and driving cars.

 

since being on the hamb i now like anything with a sbc,nailhead,olds, and caddy in it and 50,s and older fords with y-blocks in them
