Ultimate Dream Car Garage: Proud To Be An American

[oldshurst442]

@A Horse With No Name gave me a challenge. Here it is! For July 4 Celebrations!!!

Rules:

1. Pick a brand. Just 1 brand. A pure red blooded AMERICAN brand. Be it Ford or Chevrolet. Or Dodge.  10 cars any era, any concepts, anything from that brand.

2. No corporate sister brands are allowed.

3. These are your garage queen, museum grade show cars and/or Sunday drivers and/or daily drivers.

4. Have fun!

Raptor

 

New GT

 

Old GT

 

GT350R

 

Terminator

 

 

Focus RS LE

 

 

Falcon XR8

 

RS200

 

Mustang GT Vert

 

Boss 302

[A Horse With No Name]

GT350R and the terminator are my two favorites of your picks, Frisky!

Yeah, noticed that...I could probably come up with an all-GM list (if not limited to a single brand) and a Mopar list, but for a single brand Ford has the most that interest me...

I can easily come up with a GM or Mopar list that has models from several brands in each list, but sticking to one brand is very limiting.

I have something that should balance the thread out nicely, just have not had time to post it...

I feels your pain, but it becomes too easy to do corporate siblings.This way, ya'll thought about what it is that you actually like and need. Including myself.

In fact, Im still switching from Pontiac to Chevy to Ford, back to Pontiac then Chevy then Ford.

Id wanna do Dodge or Chrysler, but there is a problem that I run into with those two....from about the late 1970s to mid 1990s, MOPAR aint exactly high on my list....plus even today...other than a Hellcat and a 300C, not much enthusiasm.

So I thinks Ill be doing Chevy   since Pontiac is no longer with us.

1) 1957 Chevrolet 2 door or convertible, stock numbers matching Fuelie or restomodded pro-toured Hot Rod.

2) Ultra rare  1970 Camaro 396 SS

or restomodded protoured

 

3) 1961 Impala SS 409

 

4) 1969 Yenko Chevelle

 

5) 1967 427 Impala SS

 

 

6) 1969  427 Vette

or restomod

7) 2017 SS

 

8 ) 1959 Vette

 

9) 2017 Impala

 

10) 1970 Monte Carlo 454SS

@ EVERYBODY

I LOVE the ALL the choices you folk have made! This one was not easy!

@A Horse With No Name

[A Horse With No Name]

I now have four lists to do, and two dream car garages I want to put up myself...

[A Horse With No Name]

OK...My Ford list...

It will be all Flathead era cars to balance out the pesky modern stuff...

1932 Ford B400 Convertible sedan, the rarest of the 1932 Ford Body styels...32 was the first year for the Flat head V8...

Street Rod...

 

 

 

Only i would set up the flathead in the B4oo with Tri-power...

 

 

[A Horse With No Name]

Car in link has more of the look I would go for...

http://www.hotrod.com/articles/1209sr-stephen-moses-1932-ford-b-400/

Car #2...33-34 Ford Touring Car...

 

 

[Robert Hall]

That's a neat body style..don't think I've ever seen a photo of one with the top down (did it go down?)..

[A Horse With No Name]

Car #3 is a 39 ford Two door sedan...Grandfather had one, my dad come home in the Hospital in this car...Grandfather bought car November of 38 IIRC, Dad was born January of 39, so car was almost new...

He's a neat guy..had a bunch of interesting cars over the years..he's had a couple 1st gen Broncos, a '57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser, a '59 Ford Skyliner, a '68 428 Torino GT, others.   Saw him last year, he and his wife are approaching 80, but still in good health..they have a black Acura MDX now.
