1965 Dodge Polara, tudor, metal-flake red w/factory air, 383, and a pair of "Wile E. Coyote" decals on each front quarter-section.

"Dream car"? Same as coppertop's...a 1949 black four-door Buick Roadmaster with "DYNAFLOW" (first automatic transmission ever in a U.S. commercially available car), and the ever-present "Cruiserline Ventiports" (those "port holes" that distinguished Buicks from any other car on the road for many years)...rides like a BeautyRest on wheels, has enough leg room for the Harlem Globetrotters, front and back, and crushes "Jap crap" as easily as roadkill. 8-)

Stephen King described one in his most recent book...the date was slightly "off", but the cover art was "IT"!!!

"Don't ya want it? Don't ya WANT IT? DON'T YA WANT IT?" :eek:

During my senior year in high school (1979) my brother let me "claim" his '74 Chevy Nova SS. It was brown with 2 black stripes on the hood. It was a 4-speed. I liked that car!
The first car that I had to work and pay for was a '77 Olds Cutlass Supreme. I got it in the fall of '79. It was a nice blue color with a white interior. I thought I was in hog heaven having an A/C.

Chevy Nova here too. Late 60s model I think. Forget the year! Didn't have it long, thankfully.....soon bought a brand new Chevy, an orange hatchback that shifted terribly (something always felt loose, ex-husband and I decided we'd better sell it before we had engine trouble). From then on it was foreign cars all the way - Honda or VW.

Not my first car, but my first car after I started college. It sure was a lot of fun!!! Didn't have too many repairs thank goodness.

1963 Mini cooper. It was a horrendous contraption (looked like the one in the pic, without all the headlamps though) My father is color blind, so he decides he is going to re-spray it red for me, well I ended up with this horrible brown car (the color of an M&M).... the darn thing's accelerator cable broke and I ended up pulling the cable through a hole in the dash board and revving the engine by hand while a friend changed gears... poor thing was stolen
