Anyone got a classic car?
I love cars from 1920s - 1960 but we have a modern Ford which isn't in a garage.There is no way I'd have a classic car sitting outside.So if anyone has a classic....pictures please.

Starting in the early 90s I owned a few classic Land Rovers. First a 1958 Series 1 88" which was used as transportation a few days a week. I then owned a 1967 Series II 109" which was my daily driver for the next 6 years. There were 3 others that were more restoration projects that were rarely used.
I then owned a 1941 Harley Davidson 74ci Flathead done up in bobber style. Rigid frame, springer front, hand shift, foot clutch, etc....
Most recently I had a 1956 Porsche "Speedster" replica on a 1969 VW chassis. it was done up in full rally style with numbers and sponser stickers and was a blast. After a while though I got tired of having to tinker with them before and after every drive and sold them.
My daily driver now is a 14 year old Buick "Roadmonster", the last model year for that beast.
I'm not much on buying new

I have a 1925 Dusenberg customized to look exactly like a 2001 Ford E250 cargo van.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

but that's a great idea.We have a Packard standard 8 Sedan but with a few improvements it is now so like a Ford fusion you'd never know it was the same car

It's still a nice classic. I'd love a 1930's Ford model A. Originally Posted by sloppyjoec
