Ladies, What kind of vintage car would you love to cruise in?

I have an unhealthy obsession with early 50s Studebakers just for the comic appeal:


The "Loner" in the Mask that fell apart on the bridge was a Studebaker lol That scene makes me giggle uncontrollably.

Want a Buick Roadmaster, I think. It was only a question of model/year - I know I love that big grinning Buick grille, and the portholes, and all that jazz.

Oh, and I need it in yellow.

I think if I'm going all out girly, though, I need special upholstery. So the question is... florals, or fruit? lol Sort of a reverse "pimp my ride" - Chintz My Ride.

Oh gosh, I'm easy to please. Any ol' vehicle will do provided this is hitched to it. I love teardrop trailers and I've never been camping a day in my life!
Can't you just see yourself in a 49er jacket cruising along????

Not a clue. However, this is not surprising. I tend to miss the obvious.
Back in college, I made some boo boo and my pals asked if I was born blonde. I didn't grow up with that sort of banter, so my response was, "I don't understand. What do you mean?" They were rolling on the floor with laughter at the irony. (oh, and I'm brunette)

I will look this up and if I can't find the reference, expect a PM, Missy (using my Mom tone). lol

EDIT: LMBO Found it. Nope, not a fan but I do think chickens are kinda cute. I guess I should add that if ever I own a teardrop, it will have to be within range of a hotel with AC and a full bath. So, resounding NO on the fan issue.

For me it would have to be a green MG TC. :) I just love any MG from the 30's or 40's. But I guess I'm biased as my dad has always had MG's and I grew up around them.

I am with Lillemor - I like the Studebaker but for me it is not just any ol' Studebaker it is the 1950's Starlight Coupe. I actually saw a beautiful black one wizzing through downtown Portland about 6 weeks ago now and I thought wow what is that car, cause I gotta have one someday. It is funny that I like it because I am very much an Art Deco kind of gal when it comes to esthetics, clothes, and architecture & such but when I first saw it I thought this little beauty has a very streamlined almost Art Deco/futuristic kind of a look/feel to it at least IMO...

Just for you British sports car fans, here's the 1962 Sunbeam Alpine:

A guy I knew in high school had one of these, and took me for a ride -- all was well until the oil pressure gague suddenly dropped to zero. We looked behind to see a trail of steaming Quaker State running back at least a mile -- evidently a seal had blown out somewhere. We had to push the car all the way back to his house.

And that was the last time I ever "went for a ride."

although i adore a beautiful 30s or 40s vehicle the 1921 vauxhall velox tourer has me dreaming of long winding country roads and picnics with much champagne involved...

Because I would most defiantly need automatic transmission as I am new to driving and can barely park a modern small car. I saw one in person with flower holders on the inside. It was too cute! I want it in bottle green or whatever color Santa thinks is best. :p
