Guest Shaffer Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Talked about favorite Buicks as well, but is there any other car(s), besides a Buick that is your #1 pick? It can still be a Buick. If you could have any classic car(s), what would it/they be? Buick or not. <BR>My top picks:<BR>1. 1971, *1972*, 1973 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon<BR>2. 1967, *1968* Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon <BR>3. 1968-1969 Chevrolet Camaro base convertible/coupe<BR>4. 1961 Buick Electra 225 convertible/4-door hardtop sedan/2-door hardtop<BR>5. 1971-1972 Pontiac Grand Ville 4-door hardtop sedan<BR>6. 1959-1960 Chevrolet Impala 4-door sedan/convertible/2-door hardtop/wagon<BR>7. 1961-1963 Chevrolet Impala 4-door hardtop sport sedan.<BR>8. 1973-1974 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon<BR>9. 1971-1973 Buick Estate Wagon<BR>10. 1971-1972 Buick Electra 225 4-door hardtop sedan (own a 72 Electra, so I at least own one of my 10 favorites)<BR>11. 1971-1974 Ford LTD Country Squire wagon (have to put a Ford here somewhere)<BR>12. 1959 Pontiac Custom Safari wagon<BR>13. 1960 Cadillac Sedan DeVille<BR>14. 1959 Pontiac Bonneville convertible<BR>15. 1958 Chevrolet Nomad 4-door wagon<BR>16. 1961 Ford Galaxie Country Squire wagon<BR>17. 1961 Chrysler Town & Country wagon<BR>18. 1958 Plymouth Fury convertible<BR>19. 1959 Oldsmobile 98 convertible/4-door sedan<BR>20. 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 4-door sedan<BR>21. 1961 Cadillac series 62 6-window hardtop sedan<BR>22. 1961 Ford Galaxie 4-door hardtop sedan<BR>23. 1971 Toyota Corona 4-door sedan<BR>24. 1972 Honda 600 2-door <BR>25. 1972 Pontiac Luxury LeMans 4-door hardtop sedan<BR>26. 1972 Pontiac Lemans Sport convertible<BR>27. 1972 Chevrolet Caprice 4-door hardtop<BR>28. 1972 Ford LTD Brougham 4-door hardtop<BR>29. 1967 Chevrolet Malibu 4-door hardtop<BR>30. 1969 Chevrolet Malibu Concours Estate wagon<BR>31. 1970 Buick LeSabre Custom 4-door hardtop<BR>32. 1970 Chevrolet Camaro base coupe w/6cyl<BR>33. 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon<BR>34. 1958 Pontiac Custom Safari wagon <BR>35. 1958 Chevrolet Bel-Air Nomad 4-door wagon<BR>36. 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne longbed pickup<BR>37. 1959 Chevrolet Apache pickup truck<BR>*38. 1968 Pontiac Firebird base 2-door<BR>(falls in the top 10)*<BR>39. 1958 Plymouth Fury 2/4 dr hardtop/convertible<BR>40. 1958-60 Plymouth Fury 4-door wagon<P>Many more, but way too many to list. I think I have finally added all here. <BR>I know my list is ridiculously long, but I like a lot of cars. Maybe if I hit oil- I will own everyone of these cars. <P>Up to about the 9th car, they are in order that I would like to have them, after that, they are not. The Ford/Chrysler models are after all GM models. <BR>Tony<BR>-----------------------<BR>1972 Buick Electra 225 Custom 4-door hardtop<BR>1989 Honda Accord DX 2-door coupe<P> <p>[ 06-25-2001: Message edited by: Shaffer ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skyking Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 My favorites are any American convertible built from 1955 to 1965. From AMC to Willys. Those years to me were the best this country will ever see. From cars to music, it will never be repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nailswede Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 If i should choose a non buick it had to be a 1965 cadillac fleetwood or eldorado conv. same year <BR>but right now my dreams circle about 65 wildcat 2 door with 425 manual trans and a dual quad set up...or a riviera 65 with that engine...what i want tomorrow i dont now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 The 68 Dodge Charger is my favorite non-buick car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chrome Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 My pick for number one car is<P>1956 Cadillac Coupe<P>but my 1949 Buick Roadmaster sedanet has more than one ace in it's sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Number one in my book is the 38 Bugatti Atlante coupe. Unbelieveable. My next favorite took seven years to find, but now rests comfortably in the garage - a 58 Olds 98 J-2 coupe. There are many others, but those two top the charts.

The Old Guy Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I don't know whether you are aware if this ,but the author Clive Cussler, who wrote the action series with dirk pitt as the hero,actually owns all the cars he has written about and more!! The Buick Driving Enthusiasts division of the BCA had the opportunity to tour his collection in Golden Colorado two years ago,and he has an absolutely fabulous collection. Not only does he have the exotic cars that Dirk Pitt drove like the Talbot Lago and the Hispano- Suisso ,he has 53 Buick Skylark 58 Pontiac Bonneville Convert 57 Chev convert and probably 50 more.

Guest Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Clive does have some cool stuff, and is the person I bought my 61 300G from. He definately has good taste in cars. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Oh, I knew that Cussler owned all the cars, hence the . Sahara was the first book of his I read and lets see, was that the one with the Cord? And I forgot which book it was but what about the one where he borrows the old boat/barge and discovers it has a HP Ford big block in it . I love those books.

Guest 70 Electra Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 Shaffer,<BR>You obviously "dig" station wagons! Tomorrow (6/23) in Dearborn Michigan, the National Station Wagon Owners Association is having a national convention. Was some good local news coverage on the tube tonight and it looks like some neat cars. (One that looked cool was a 68 Pontiac Executive wagon which was the one with the woodgrain)<P>The location is only a half hour away, so I'm going to buzz down there in the morning and see what's up.

Guest Shaffer Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 70 Electra. Yep, I am a fan of old wagons. I really "dig" the 68 Executive Safaris that you spoke about. I missed out ona 69 Pontiac Safari, loaded, for only $2,000. It needed total resto, but I would have liked to have had it. I have always liked wagons, but have NEVER owned one. I hope that changes soon, as I am hoping to buy a 1973 Buick Estate Wagon. 9-passenger, dark green, woodgrain, loaded, and only 79,000 actual 1-owner miles. In in above average shape, only bad things are seat is coming apart at seams and some bubbles starting under the woodgrain on the left rear, up high. I can get it fairly cheap, but it is 175 miles away, and I have to find time to go look. My cousin in Richmond got a 69 Pontiac Catalina Safari with the factory 428 for only $1. His father owned a repair shop/carlot and a old couple offered it to him for $1. My other uncle ownes a 60 Pontiac Safari, needs total resto. More than I want to put into one. I like the Pontiac wagon best, because it has a more "sport" look to it than any other full-size car. That wagon show sounds cool. Wish we had one down here in Tennessee.<P>[ 06-22-2001: Message edited by: Shaffer ]<p>[ 06-22-2001: Message edited by: Shaffer ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
