Stuff like '30s, '40s and '50s?

I can appreciate the work and the enjoyment people get from them but cars made pre-1965 don't do much at all for me. Post some pics if you've got them, maybe you'll change my mind.

I love the late 50's cars.  Personal favorites are the 56 Dodge, 57/58 Plymouth and the 57 and 60 Chrysler.

Some of the late 50's cars are really cool, & I also love the Power Wagons from the 40's & 50's. One of my all time favorites is the prototype car, the 1955 Chrysler Falcon. I saw it in person for the first time at a show once in the mid 80's, it had a 392 Hemi. It's too bad they never went into production to compete with the Thunderbirds & Corvettes, it was nicer.

I'm into 1928~1932 Plymouths.  The PA model specifically with the oval back windows.  I did find this 1929 model code U nearby but the guy wants $1200 for it and its in a million pieces.  I'd like the challenge of putting it back together again and driving it around on Sundays to the ice cream shop and such..  The Charger is for Friday and Saturday night street cruising on University Ave.. :yesnod:

One of my Mopar buddies has restored several '33 and '34 Plymouths and makes stainless steel grill inserts for them. A few of them were stock but most got "the treatment" so to speak. One of them got a blown 426 Hemi and the wheels, tires and suspension from the Viper Kelsey Grammar wrecked. He calls it the "Hyper."

i think they are cool but there are way too many muscle cars above them on my want list
68 Charger R/t white with black v/t and red tailstripe. 440 4 speed ,black interior
68 383 auto with a/c and power windows. Now 440 4 speed jj1 gold black interior .
My Charger is a hybrid car, it burns gas and rubber............
