Not a huge list personally but if I add previous generations the list is a little longer.

Grandparents, beginning mid 1920s;
1917 Studebaker 6
1924 Studebaker Big Six
1931 Austin 12/6
1922 Talbot 10/23 saloon
1936 Ford V8 (owned for a very short time in 1946 as he did not like it and replaced with-
1934 Buick Series 40 sedan, body by Holdens Australia. (I still have this one - awaiting restoration which will be a big job)
1956 DeSoto Diplomat SP23 (built in Adelaide South Australia) - owned 1958 to about 1970.
1969 Austin 1300 automatic
1977 Vauxhall Viva Magnum 1800 automatic - bought new and retained by my grandfather until his death in 1984 aged 89.

Unfortunately all of my grandfather's early cars are long gone.

Parents;
1929 Austin 7 Chummy
1950 Jowett Bradford van
1958 Ford Thames 800 van
1966 Commer 1500 van
1975 Bedford Jumbo van

1959 Austin A35 - an aunt bought this new and went through six clutches in 110,000 miles!
1970 Skoda 110L
1992 Suzuki Alto
1999 Suzuki Alto

Me; motorcycles first, from 1969
1952 AJS 350
1950 BSA Golden Flash
1970 Honda CB350 (in 1971)
1971 BSA 650 Thunderbolt (bought new)
1971 Laverda 750SF
1974 Honda XL 350
1976 Yamaha XT 500D (bought new but sold in 1977 when I bought the 1965 Pontiac)
1982 Honda XL500S owned for a short time in the early 1980s
1982 Honda CB450T Hawk - a Canadian market model which a friend brought home to NZ in 1993 and put in my shed for storage 'for a few months'. It was still there 10 years later so he gave it to me to put back on the road. Used sparingly since and has done only 24,000km.

Cars from 1975
1962 Rambler Classic Cross Country wagon (in rhd) owned briefly in 1975 - supposedly the UK importer's 1961 Earls Court Show car.
1938 Buick Special - an ex-taxi with over 500,000 miles up
1934 Buick Model 47 sedan - also several 1934 Buick series 40 projects
1965 Pontiac Bonneville Vista hardtop (I still have this one, although in storage)
1976 Chevrolet Chevette (owned 1984-1991)
1987 Toyota Crown van (GS126V), actually a Japanese domestic market utility station wagon - have had this in daily use since 1991 now with 352,000km and still with original clutch.
1980 Toyota Crown MS112 two door hardtop - Japan-new, imported to NZ in 1990
2001 Nissan Elgrand V6 - purchased 2010 fresh off the boat from Japan
1929 Plymouth 4 - Canadian-built, NZ new 78,000 miles - had since 1995
1928 1/2 Studebaker Dictator GE Royal Sedan (awaiting restoration although I did use it for a few years in the early 1990s.)
1926 Pontiac - one of two bare chassis purchased in the late 1980s and only recently persuaded to run by my teenage sons.

One of my brothers owned a succession of Citroens beginning with a 1947 English-built Light 15 in the 1970s through DS19, ID19 Safari, ID 19 saloon, BX GTi amongst others.

Another brother owned, for a short time in the late 1970s, a 1976 Datsun 120YSSS (B210 to you in the US). The SSS was a NZ special version, built to compete in local production touring car racing. Externally it had alloy wheels and stripes. Under the hood was a pair of Dellorto twin throat carbs, which along with other engine mods made it very quick for its size, and very noisy to drive. A small amount of info here - http://datsun1200.com/modules/newbb/...um=1&move=prev - apparently only about 200 of them built.

My car list is nothing much, but I did own for a while the "remains" of one oddity... a Hillman straight 8. I think it was a 1929 model. Sold it along with most of my other cars, bikes and soul to buy a Ferrari.

At the present time we still have the 1997 Taurus, the 2000 Ford Taurus, the 2006 Explorer and the 2010 Town & Country.

I don't buy antiques. I buy diecast models of them not over 16 inches in length. The upkeep is a lot less. Don't ask me what they are. I'm reluctant to even tell you how many of them I have.

[bobthetaxidriver]

I personally do not own lots of cars, just the one but drive a variety of cars depending on the customers choice as i am a taxi driver around Reading. I have drove many new and latest cars such as Mercedes, V.W and so on.

[slikmetalfab]

Over 1 car per year for every year I have been driving (26years). So i will only list pre 74 vehicles for antique sakes:

1928 model a tudor
1932 chrysler rumble seat coupe
1938 cadillac series 60 special
1947 cadillac series 62 sedan (2 of them)

I have like many others owned and sold some cool cars. With that said, probably the one I regret most is the 1968 Mercury Cougar GT-E side oiler 427 that I purchased new in 1968. Bought it site unseen from a dealer in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Color was Black Cherry, with the same interior. One sold at BJ auction a year ago for $181,000.00. I paid a tad less than 5K for mine.

Shame on me.

[padgett]

Since 1963 I have had lots even many. All were "interesting". Have now come full circle, first ('59) and most recent ('12) both with mid 3s liter DOHC 6s & both start with "J".
