You are so correct on this gambit. The red one makes me want to find it and buy it.

Nah! 1957. The '55, '56 and '57 were/are classics, but for me it is the 1957.

Don't have to build my dream car -- Carroll Shelby did it for me.

 

[Ralphie_]

I'm not sure I can do this. When I turned 60 I bought a Corvette and I love that car, has always been a dream. Would love a Shelby Cobra. New car, probably a DB11.

Sitting at a Stewart’s drive through In Tuckerton NJ having lunch in the Miata. That ride would be perfect for this place.

I think Foose is a way off with the grill - yuck.

 

[PSUfiji]

I’m not bothered by the grill. I’m not big on the wheels. It makes it look a little too pumped out but I love the way he lengthened the nose, lengthened rear end, and laid down the windshield. Very cool.

Over all it is a stunning "lowered" look. I sympathize with your view on his wheel design too - surprisingly, given wheels are his specialty. But that grill harkens back to the 2005 Ford Thunderbird retro-design which I didn't care for... I think a finer racing mesh grill would have been more appealing... at least to me.

Can't go wrong with Aston Martin

1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan 4 door hard top. Nothing fancy. Small block V8, air suspension, AC, and a decent stereo. Matte black with some gloss black pinstripe detailing.

I would very much enjoy the start to finish with a Singer 911.
For example

Looks more like something to be buried in

Nice the classic Split Window

 

[Obliviax]

I love cars but I am not mechanical. I've been lucky enough to own a couple of cool cars but the romance lasts about three months. Then it kind of becomes "my car" and I end up swooning over something else. But I think if I had to own one car, it would be something like this:

1960 Bently Flying Sput

 

[fastlax16]

Chalk 992 GT2 RS

Perhaps, but I have a better chance of this car being intact after the deadly crash so I could be buried in it than some of the other wishlist cars. Better chance of leaving a good looking corpse with this beauty.

I understand, I'd just upgrade it a few years
