I was born in 1964

Over the years I have seen guys buy classic cars of the year they were born.

My choice from 1964 would be the Corvette Stingray

They were about as classic as classic gets. I was 7 when that model came out, and they were beautiful even when they were new. And everyone knew it. I really liked the '66 with the fast-back, though. "Man!, That was som'm else!" as Elvis would say.

tom!

that was my daily driver in high school in 1977!

my dad had a pearl gray 68 (i think yours is a 65) deville convertible with red leather interior and black top with a 472

my buddy and i would put a hundred miles on it every afternoon just cruising around blasting the radio


until dad realized that i had gone through a new set of rear tires in 8000 miles

it was back to the station wagon for a while after that

I came across this 1956 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket concept car. It never went into mass production. Kind of cool looking.

In the experimentals theme:

Sadly, because chrysler didn't pay the full import fee for all of them, most of them got crushed.

My sister had one of these without the fuzzy dice. I learned to drive on it and my Karmann Ghia.

We moved up in the world and this became our mode of transportation until 1964.

While buying a new Toyota Celica for my wife, I asked God if it be His will, I'd really like to have a Toyota MR2. I forgot I asked God for one, but one year later I had an identical car to the one I looked at. It was one year old, black with only 14000 miles on it. I made what I thought was a low ball offer on it an the dealer took it without hesitation. They were asking $11,999 and I offered them $9000. I asked why they took the offer and they told me they had sold the car about 5 times but each time it was returned when the buyer found out how much insurance was. I kick myself daily for ever trading it in many years later. Fortunately, I have another blessing from God that I will not ever trade in.
