Obviously a classic 1948!

For me, it's a tossup between a 1961 Jaguar E Type and a 1961 Volvo 1800

The split window is one of my least favorite 'vettes of the era.

Damn, that was in my head when I started posting, but then I forgot.

I had chosen the '70 Miura, but now that I see this, I would have a hard time choosing between the Miura and the E-type.

I guess Im young for this crowd, which I rarely get to say.

1976 the beginning of the malaise era of cars so not so great choices.

Early 930, esprit, or countach I suppose for me.

Just a heads up.
There's no such thing as a 1952 Corvette.
Pretty sure that is a 1956 or 1957

Pick a '52 see what you can get!

Too bad you're so old. If you were a couple of years younger you could salivate over a Ford Fairmont.

May I suggest the car to own in 1976? I remember my older sister's BF owned one. It was the most sexy automobile I'd ever seen. Ok, he was pretty hot too. That helped.

Checks out, a solid choice. Make mine Black.

Think I'd rather drive a 76 esprit, but if I have to maintain the car 76 TA is *****in

Iv thought about it before but theres not much selection for 1985. Iv got my dream Porsche 1982. Sure there was cool cars made that year but nothing I lust after at the moment. I wanted a Lotus Esprit for a long time but im over it now
