OK, so I said 50s or earlier, but I REALLY like cars from the 30s or 40s. The link above is for a 1933 Plymouth that has a Chevy engine, a/c, and power everything. I guess this is a "Rod" and probably makes some cringe, but wouldn't this be good for every day use? It sure is a beaut.

Thanks rocketraider! Your response was extremely helpful!

I'm used to dealing with the "quirks" of my 150+ year-old house (and the difficulties of finding someone who understands it), so I might as well throw in a quirky car! Although a car that won't run can be much more annoying than most of my house woes, so I'll keep that in mind.

I don't know anything about antique cars except I like the looks of them much better than modern cars. Plus, I'm a preservationist and antique lover, so an old car just seems right for me. I need to get a "new" car soon and I would much rather spend money on an antique/classic car that I could drive every day than to buy a new car. Do people do that? I like cars from the 50s or earlier (the older the better) and I'd want an automatic with 4 doors and heat/ac. Since I want to drive it daily, I wouldn't get an all original - those should be preserved more than driven. Anybody have any suggestions or just think I'm crazy?

Oh yeah - I've been looking at antique cars on ebay and most of them don't have seat belts - what do you do about that if you want to drive it a lot?
