HAHAHA!

A few times my dad or big brother would have to wander out to the end of the driveway and chase them off ...one fella stayed there all night.

Of course no wondered about serial murders and the like. It was a time of Camelot.

Three-way tie: The 2009 Dodge Challenger, 2009 Ford Mustang and 2009 Chevy Camaro. And I’m old enough to remember my previous favorite: 1976 Dodge Challenger

Is she still around? I’m a fiftysomething orphan; I could be up for adoption.

If foreign cars are allowed, then I'll pick the classic lotus eleven



It looks even better unpainted with the polished aluminum body.

ANYTHING, PRE-1970; what we used to call--and used to be built to last,--"IRONS!" Everything else, we called "Sleds."

Being an old fart, it is very hard to come up with ONE as there have been so many.

Your pick (57 Chevy Bel Air) is one of my favorites, although the 59 Cad someone else suggested would also qualify.

Of course being the first new car I've ever owned, the nicest and hottest, my vote would go for my 1967 GTO, the pic below being an exact duplicate of the one I bought when I returned from Nam, including the rally wheels and wood steering wheel!

67_00244_1

Runner up would be my 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Conv, similar to this one, only mine was blue.

pontiac4

PS: As a follow up, and bound to be more fun, you should do the same for the "Ooogliest" car ever. lol

I didn’t realize how awesome it was at the time ... kids never do. It’s only when you get older you realize your blessings.

I’m about to buy a new car now. Just my present one detailed today.
