Some more trains:

Gresley A4 Mallard

A4 "Dwight D. Eisenhower"

Love the sreamline trains!

Hay, I saw one of those today, in the tread of an Escalade!

Darn! Is that what that bump was.

The look like an eel with wheels.

You're right! It's does lol

Although not GE, my absolute fantasy car numero uno is thus:

A vehicle with a story is always nice!

Although not GE, my absolute fantasy car numero uno is thus:

I hope you aren't very tall or wide for that matter. I tried that whole XK thing. I couldn't fit comfortably in it(head hitting the roof) and my feet were too big for the tiny pedals. They look ok but they are entirely impractical---I won't even mention the electronics that look like a Rube Goldberg prize winner.

I think we've established that I have an appetite for station wagons.

Why not one of these instead?:

That's why I call it a fantasy. I'll never have one. And if I do, by some miracle, I should be okay in it. I'm not very big.

Red and black two-tone would be better. I just am a nostalgic type and that car was my first 'love' car-wise, so I'd like to have one. I remember sitting in Dad's lap and steering it on the farm as a kid. What's more thrilling when you're just a little guy than to get to drive the car?

About 5'6"?

5'9". Too big for an E?

Wow, there've been some amazing cars in this thread! I might have to rethink my choices:
1.) I'd happily take an corvette built between 1958 (convertibles) and 1967 (coupés).

2.) I'm a child of the 80s, so this:

3.) And something along the lines of this would be nice, if I ever win the lottery:

What else? Volvo P1800 Sportwagon, 1965 Ford Mustang Coupé

Well, you just might make it at that. My father was 5"10" and he had a hard time with the pedals but not the roof height so you might be ok if you don't mind cramped pedal conditions. I wear a size 11 and it is a pain to shift and stop without hitting two pedals at once.

I couldn't think of a more fitting "fantasy" vehicle than Tattoo's Custom Plymouth Volare golf cart!
