Fantasy Vehicle

I prefer just about any color to the cars today that are almost all some form of gray.

Ok, you have me there. I do too.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I agree with you there. I recently called a guy into the sheriff's department for reckless driving. They asked me the color of his car and my first thought was "does it really matter, they're all some shade of neutral beige."

I prefer just about any color to the cars today that are almost all some form of gray.

Then you should be nice

I know.

I have room but I would take it even if I didn't. The four door flat top?

Actually it was a funeral limousine, with the extra folding jump seats, so not sure. He also had a trailer hitch and an Airstream. That was the early 90s before they became collector items. A real classy combonation!

I would certainly take the funeral limo.

Ah yes:

Jamespowers, I'll tell you a little story about that Bel Air; when my Dad would drive somewhere at night, perhaps to pick up my Mom from work, I'd go along and lie on the floor of the passenger side with my head up behind the grill of the dash hump (which was intended for the radio speaker - we had no radio so the space was bare). I could peer through the grill, my legs up on the passenger seat, taking in the electronica of the back of the dash, pretending I was Alan Shepard in a Mercury Capsule. My Dad let me do it on any number of occasions without a complaint - that's no seatbelt, no protection, just a kid's wild imagination in a great vehicle. Kids these days will never have that kind of fantasy ride, what with our nanny-state regulations. Maybe it's for the better, but I'll tell you this - everytime I lay on the floor of my Prius with my head stuck up behind the glovebox, I think of the wonderous nighttime ride with my Dad in my fantasy vehicle! (LOL) [My head wouldn't even fit behind a Prius dash, nor my legs on the seat!]

That is a great story! I know exactly how that would work too. That reminds me that I have to get my 55 chevy's radio fixed.

 

[Jack Patch]

At the moment I'm leaning toward a 1929 Mercedes SSK Roadster.

 

[bulldog1935]

I'll see your Mercedes and raise you an Alfa 8C 2900B

though my all-time favorite is the Bugatti Type 57

[Gregg Axley]

Yes I have a streetrod, but it doesn't ride like this...
This would be my dreamcar, and while some are in my price range, I have nowhere to keep it.
I drove one in the early 90's, that a friend took on a trade (car dealer), and I was in love. Unfortunately I didn't have the money then, and it was lemon yellow inside and out. :eeek:
I'd take a triple black, or Ivy Moondust which is a green.

Now thats a fantasy vehicle and then some!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Now that's my kinda car. Luxury is the way to go.

When I see these I always think of 'Frank Cannon'.

 

[Gregg Axley]

He knew luxury too.
Yes Tom luxury IS the way to go.
The one I drove just floated down the road, and for it's time, it was VERY quiet.
Again, I wish I had the money back then, but since it was yellow I wasn't "into" it.

 

[nice hat dude!]

My dream car, but I want one in red!



In the meantime, I do own another one of the cars I've always want

The final body-style Mercury Colony Park, and a 1990, to boot. That makes it and me the same age

Red with white convertible top

 

[nice hat dude!]

Anybody willing to buy me one I'll trade my first born for it?
