I had to do a search, and I’m not wild about any of them, but the Ferrari, is probably the one for 1959.

You wouldn't include a 356 in the list?



'59 vette isn't a bad little car either.

I had the option of buying a 1955 Speedster or 1968 Porsche 911L Targa back in 1979. I was 24 years old, It was not me.Very uncomfortable, so I sat in the 1968 Porsche 911L Targa and I'm still enjoying comfort and performance

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

I remember looking at one of these on a lot in Connecticut in 1963 thinking it was the most beautiful car I'd ever seen. I still believe that. I was impressed when the sales guy I was talking to said each piston cost $100.
