Classic cars from our generation

[bobcat]

I had a '32' ford pickup with a V8 in it for a while, but it didn't look that nice.

Oooh, that's a beauty! Pictures never work right for me when I try to post them here unless it's a YT video, but if I could do it, I'd do one a year older for my birth year... best car ever: 1957 Chevy! I can't remember what colors they came in, but I remember one of them was really pretty.

Here's one.

My first car was a 40 Ford. I saved up $100 out of babysitting money to buy it!

This photo was used as the front page of a 2019 charity calendar.

This was going to be one of the stills in a wedding advert, it didn't get used.


This made the front page of the German MG Car Club's publication: MG Kurier.


This my car's file, it's history, the adverts it has featured in and just my own musings on life with a classic car.


He we are arriving after last year's MG New Forest Run.

This was my '55' Chevy
Lots of good times in that car
(Pictures's not so good though, but it's the only one I have)

Beauties !

When I was about 11 or 12, learned to drive a 3-speed on the tree in my grandfathers '58 Rambler Custom 6 cylinder.
Those had an overdrive knob and cable located just under the dash.

My buddy had a T-Bucket roadster like that, and I had a '55' Chevy, and we decided to swap cars for the day. At the end of the day, I was so glad to get my car back. That roadster had no suspension and you could feel every bump in the road. Nice to look at, but not fun to drive.

that's exactly what I said when we saw it... I could just tell it would be a horrible ride....beautiful thing.. but not good for riding

I HAD a 57 Buick but what I REALLY, REALLY wanted was a 57 Chevy Impala!
Not a 56, not a 58. It had to be a 1957! but I never got it.

Yeah, I could see you in a '57' chevy cruisin around. It needs to be a convertible though with the long hair and all.

Our 1977 corvette,, color is Corvette tan,, sun light makes it look yellow

 

[bobcat]

Pontiac Chiefton I think. Not sure of year, but maybe '58'

 

[bobcat]

Seriously? AN EDSEL????? That was a joke!

You laugh, but I got to ride in one once, and it wasn't that bad of a car.

So many have passed through our life. Hard to pick my favorite.
We still have "Big Red" the 57.
The 55 Chevy truck, 58 Impala, and of course... my 55 Chevy stand out.

Now that was a classic. Probably lousy gas mileage, but back then, not such a big deal.

I found that German MG Car Club magazine. It was in 2017.


The calendar was 2018 not 19. As well as being on the front it featured in the month of March.

 

[Naturally]

My first car was a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle.
Talked my parents into paying $500 for it when I turned 16 in 1969.
It was overpriced a good bit at $500 but I wanted it ... so

My little brother's first car was a 1970 Monte Carlo with a 350. I was so jealous

When I was about 11 or 12, learned to drive a 3-speed on the tree in my grandfathers '58 Rambler Custom 6 cylinder.
Those had an overdrive knob and cable located just under the dash.

They had unique seats too. I put them in my '55' chevy because when you trip the side lever, the front seats would fold all the way back to match the height of the rear seat, so the whole car became a bed (You know, in case I got sleepy or something).

Very nice ride. I'm sure you always kept it under 50 mph though.
