I just watched 2 hours of Mechum Auto auctions. To all that sold your cars in the 60's join me in a moment of weeping. They even had my 62 Catalina. This one was fire engine red with a four speed, dual quads. Oh, the agony.
 
This is one of the most fun and beautiful threads on here. Cars did have class back then. My first car was a 54 Chevy Bel Air. I named her The Turtle. She was green and white and looked like a turtle. She was so beautiful to me. Big comfy seats. I was so proud to park her in our driveway. I learned how to drive in that car.

Thanks for the fond memories.
 
Meanderer, LOL! Too funny. Thanks for the laugh. I needed that. Yep. That was my first car. She was a beauty. Till this day I have a fondness for turtles and tortoises. Thanks again!
 
I don't know how many of you guys and gals have ever heard or seen the "Good Guys Car Show." They travel around the country and show some of the most beautiful cars in the world. Here is a YouTube video of the show that I went to in Columbus, Ohio last summer. This show was in Nashville, but they are basically the same as car builders follow the show around the country during the summer. You will be amazed at some of these beautiful vehicles. BTW, this is a weekend show and some of these vehicles are for sale, so if you go, don't forget your checkbook.

 
My wife had a frame off restoration 1960 XK-150 Jaguar with an automatic transmission. Sold it in the mid 70's and an XK-120 roadster a few years ago.

Yeah, they are pretty valuable when properly restored but you can buy a couple of new Accords for what it costs to maintain them over the course of 40 years. You better be a mechanic or have one sitting in the passenger seat.
