What car would you buy from the year you were born?
This is a question posited in the latest edition of Hot Rod magazine.
It's hard to come up with a definitive answer, I see goodness in many, many cars.. I was born in '59. Let's see what's out there... First up, let's shoot the moon. Left nut? Sorry, but this just became available and you are out of here!....  Remaining Teutonic, much gentler and oh, so seductive...  Still from the fatherland, but hey, I've got a sense of humor...  I'd love to check out a pristine example of one of these (or a DS) - supposedly quite the feats of engineering, (albeit finicky and temperamental, mon dieu)...  And of course, the red cars, smack dab in the classic era of red cars...

continuing - American iron
Did they have "Q" ships in 1959? If they did, well, they might have looked like this..
 Not my first choice, but not my last.  Hawk!  300 - because they didn't make a 301 ....  Best of all, it's a Cadillac

I can't think of a single car made in 1978 that I find desirable. Nothing American. Nothing Italian. Anything German has a later version that I like better.
