Re: Best Classic Car Ever?

The Aurburns,Cords and Duesenbergs are the best ones.I have seen seen them in the Auburn,Cord Duesenberg Museum which was the assembly plant in Auburn,Indiana the day before the Kruse Antique Auto Auction last month and it is worth the money to see.You do see the engines,some are the length of a desk.

Re: Best Classic Car Ever?

1969 Dodge Charger Daytona/1970 Plymouth Superbird
Take the 1970 Daytona 500 race. Superbirds and Daytonas Take the whole top 5 and Petty with his Superbird laps every car on the track
P.S Superbird goes 20 mph less than the Daytona but stops the engine problem where the engine started to overheat at speeds LESS than 65 mph.
These cars kicked everyones butt.

1971 Hemi 'Cuda's I think are in a close second

I've always like the Edsel. I don't understand why it got such a bad rap. To my eyes, it's the nicest looking car Ford ever came up with...

As far as my list goes:

1. 1958 Desoto. My absolute favorite. It's the middle ground between the sweeping fins of the '57 and the more agressive look of the '59.

2. 1957 Imperial. Probably the most unique fins out of all the "forward look" cars. Gotta love the gunsight taillamps as well.

3. The 1949-1951 "Bathtub Nash". That's right.

Re: Best Classic Car Ever?

There are so many... I'm not into muscle cars, as most of you guys seem to be, I prefer the old mercs and bugattis... My fave being the 57SC Atlante.

Re: Best Classic Car Ever?

Now you see this is a question that is always in contemplation in my mind, because i can change my mind on the strength of a conversation or watching a film.
My favourite's today are...

'36-'38 lincoln zephrs



These land-yachts give me the horn - especially when they've been given this treatment

or maybe more like...


but classics that i've had experience with to create an actual opinion of are as follows...

my friends cosworth'd mk1 capri





and my dads '38 Opera coupe. By far the most beautiful cars i've ever driven

sorry newmech but there was never a 1970 dodge daytona. There is 1969 Daytonas and 1970 Superbirds that is it.

Re: Best Classic Car Ever?

Hi

I agree with the 69 Chevelle...had one in 1971...and have never had anything quite like it since..396..375 horse..4 speed...STOCK

Powershifting into second gear it would feel like the front wheels were coming off the ground...it would definately pin you back in the seat.
