John_Maine 21 Posted November 17, 2012 If this happened to me, it wouldn't matter what the car was because I would drop dead from the shock if my wife did this. I have two antique cars and she thinks that's two too many. She's told me that once I retire, I'll have to stop going to Hershey and I told her that's not on the table so don't even bring it up. I've always wanted an Edsel or a Ford Skyliner, so those would be my first two choices, third would be a '64 Galaxie 500XL 4 door hardtop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marty Roth 1,446 Posted November 17, 2012 If that 1915 (or Early-Production 1916) Cadillac Touring happened to show up, I guess we could find a place to garage it.Maybe Billybird could free up a spot for me?Of course a Red 1956-1957 Corvette with white coves would always be welcome, too.Then again, a 1959-1960 Cadillac ElDorado convertible could work its way into our hearts.

Rob McDonald 16 Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) I'm with Steve and West - a Series 1 E-type coupe would be my dusty dream. I had the pleasure of using a very well sorted one for a whole day, long time ago. Like Marty says, it's rare among famously beautiful cars - even more wonderful to drive than to admire. It fit me perfectly, was solid as a vault, and all the machinery worked in smooth synchronicity. Sweet memory.Almost forgot - when wifey saw this same car, years later, she snorted, "It looks like a giant [male organ of reproduction]!"

Dave Mellor NJ 282 Posted November 18, 2012 I'd like my wife to retrieve my 56 Victoria. Bought for $35 I loaned it to a friend whose mother promptly had it towed away. She thought it was an eyesore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

john2dameron 46 Posted November 19, 2012 We're dreaming, right? My first thought was a '34 Packard Victoria but then I thought a 1938-40 Cadillac convertible sedan would be nice. Then my mind strayed to postwar and I remembered I always wanted a 46-48 Chrysler Town & Country convertible but a '58 Edsel Citation convertible or a '59 Buick Electra convertible would be just great, but no matter what I consider I always come back to a '56-57 Continental MK II, which by the way is the only non-convertible on my list, and then I think, well, a 1940's woodie wagon would be great. Then I become realistic and remember I already have them all, in 1/18th scale diecast and that for me is the only way to go and once again I'm back down to earth, dreaming over and by the way, my latest acquisition is a 1962 Pontiac Catalina Super Duty that i found a week ago.

auburnseeker 2,834 Posted November 19, 2012 The more I think about it I need a bigger barn more than another car. Maybe she will just buy me the barn:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sftamx1 43 Posted November 19, 2012 A favorite barn find would be a 1934 Graham Blue Streak Convertible Coupe, with Rumble seat and the Supercharged 8 under the hood!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
