Car From The Year You Were Born

[OUTLAW]

If you could own one car from the year that you were born what would it be?


For me it would have to be the 1970 CHEVELLE SS 454

Probably in Cortez Silver

I think it would have to be a 70 Ls6 convertible chevelle or a 70 ZR1 corvette, maybe even a 70 L78 camaro depending on what I could afford..

I know it's a Ford but it is from 1940...

I don't know that there's anything from 1951 that I'd want

Talk about limited choices....Rita (Mrs. Billy Bobcat) would have to get something like Henry Ford's Quadricycle or a horse and buggy

You're treading in dangerous waters Bill.

I can't make a choice. They didn't build cars the year I was born!!! Guess I'll just stick with what I have.

But here's something to think about: How would you like to be the original owner of a car that was built BEFORE you were born?
There was a dealership just South of us that previously sold Studebakers, and eventually Buicks. On the back lot of that delership sat a half dozen or so '63 Stude's that had never been sold/titled. One of the members here (Amuseme) often talked about buying one just to say he was "The Original Owner of a Car Built Before I was Born!"
Later, that same dealer also had some "leftover" Boat tail Riviera's under similar circumstances. Very unusual!

'61 Canadian Pontiac Strato-Chief 2 Door Post w/ factory Chevy 409 4 Spd. .

The Canadian Ponchos had Chevy chassis/drivetrain so w/ a bit o' wangling could've been built w/ any available Chevy combo. .
Although possible mid year, I don't think any were built but this has always been the one for me w/ it's Chevy Biscayne brother in second place. .
Either would be the Fleetmaster-Utility version w/ 'everything delete'....dog-dish caps of course!

I'll have this

Bill, I'd have to agree with you. Due to the Korean conflict, there weren't too many cool cars that year.
Here's my choice:

Nothing like a drop-top Caddy.
