Post Your Favorite Vintage Car

[anselmo1]

This car has to be one of my all time favorites, 1954 Kaiser Darrin.

I love the lines of this one although I cant think of what it is right now.:eusa_doh:

 

[CharlieH.]

It's a 1939 Graham:

Gorgeous, innit?

As for me, I'd settle for one of these:

Ooh.....

Guys, I go tingly looking at classic, vintage cars - I love them. The pictures you posted are wonderful. Hubby and I own 3 classic Truimph 1960/70's cars and would drive an old car rather than new anyday. At least you have to drive them properly and have some basic mechanical knowledge! Here are pictures of our oldest car - a 1967 Triumph Herald 1200cc convertible - lovely. We are camping with her in May; The chap pictured is my scruffy hubby - apologies but I have to put him in an armlock to make him wear a suit!

My favourite car (vintage or otherwise) is the Blower Bentley...

...closely followed by the Morgan Plus 8...

The Porsche 550 Spyder. My favorite car.
There's no way I'm going through life without getting one of these.

 

[Spitfire]

Non other...

There were so many wonderful cars produced in the '30 and '40s, many shown here and not a few I would love to drive/own. However, I think my favourites were produced in the late '50s and early '60s. Here is a 1950 Maserati 450S from the Concours in West Plam Beach.

I've got one of those. Unfortunately, it's a sedan and not a convertible. It's still a lot of fun though. I have posted photos in other threads.

My mouse isn't working right, so I can't copy a pic, but my favorite are the 1937-38 Buicks. You can see photos of them at www.torquetube.com . *sigh* Someday, I will have one- a cream convertible with burgundy interior.

 

[BuddyJ]

The Morgan 4/4

But, it's a hard choice between the Morgan and the Allard J2X

Both are available new and are relatively unchanged since their introduction. I've been partial to the Allard ever since first learning of it in Clive Cussler's Shock Wave. Oh to have Dirk Pitt's garage!

1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II
Preferrably in red.

This is a pic of a 1958 Fiat 1200 Roadster (Transformabile). I own one of these in white and hopefully will finish restoring it this summer:

But if you asked for my all-time favorite, it would probably be the Mercedes 300SL (aka: Gullwing) of the mid-50's:

The MB dealership in Oklahoma City has Clark Gable's personal Gullwing SL on display in the showroom and they take it to various councourse events. It's a beautiful car, complete with matching luggage. Quite a sight to see.

Oh, I love all but a very select few vintage autos, but this one takes the cake for me:

1939 Aston Martin

 

[Marc Chevalier]

It looked prehistoric in 1938:

 

[green papaya]

I like the early turn of the century autos

 

[Fletch]

My ultimate has to be the Chrysler Airflow.

I looked up prices several years ago and was surprised how affordable they were.
Are they just not all that collectible? What am I missing here?

the flying wombat! I love that car.

Aston Martin has always turned out some gorgeous cars!
