    I can't figure out how to quote your picture Brian, but a '65 Catalina is my "one that got away." It was only a Ventura, but a yellow, rust-free two-door hardtop for $3500 asking price back in 2000. I was too young, too broke, too living with my parents, and I already had an old car. I'm still haunted by that thing!

And there is something about a black car that flips my switch.

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    I was sitting in my garage doing just what I started this thread about last night.....12 pack of Budweiser sitting next to me, radio going, staring at my two favorites, and thought "this isn't too bad".....I wouldn't call my Mach 1 pretty, more of an angry looking car. It is my favorite, but it's always looked more like a sledgehammer than a grand piano to me.

    1970 GTO Judge, Tri 5 Chevys, First Gen K5 Blazer to name a few. Dad was always Pontiac or Buick guy and we had 66 GTO and 70 Judge during my youth. The Judge was supposed to be my first car in 1992 but mom had better ideas. Ended up with 92 Toyota Pickup after both GTOs were sold. Wish I could have them both now.

    I like the Type 65 Coupe as well as the Cheetah. I'd love to get a kit car of either one.

    Best car I have ever seen in person. Hard to describe how it makes you feel when walking around it. Nothing against all the others here, but this one pretty much blew me away when walking around it and seeing all it took to create.

    Bugatti Type 57C takes Best in Show at Boca Raton
    Richard Lentinello on Mar 1st, 2012

    A stunningly beautiful 1939 Bugatti Type 57C won not only the Best European Classic award at this year’s Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance but also the coveted Best In Show award. Owned by noted car collector Jim Patterson, the Voll & Ruhrbeck-bodied Type 57C convertible features a unique cascading grille that juts forward from the famed Bugatti radiator grille, thus making it one of the most recognizable Bugattis ever built. Power comes from a supercharged straight-eight dual overhead-camshaft engine that develops about 160 horsepower. Its signature body is all steel, and is the original body that chassis number 57819 was first built with, restored by RM Restorations several years ago. The full list of class winners should shortly be posted to the event’s website.

    Pure function, just like an F-40. I loved those cars thanks...

    Don't need power windows or power door locks power seat or radio or cruise control or anti-locks or traction control or GPS or email or text or in car calling or backup camera or side mirrors that blink or light up or auto trans or paddle shifts or...

    I would add AC & Heat.

    Many wonderful choices (and I've always lusted for an E-type Jag as well as 1st generation Riviera) but have a soft spot for a couple of "barges." Really like the looks of the 62 Wildcat (LeSabre pictured - not able to find a decent Wildcat picture but essentially the same car) and the 67 Electra (prefer the two-door but the 4 door I found really pops - best angle [my opinion] is 3/4 from the rear). Also really like the 35 Buick (3 window coupe) and Ford cabriolet.

I drove a few in the early Eighties, they drove like station wagons and were a bucket of bolts. Bought a 69 442 off the original owner in '81. It was like going from a Pinto to a Cadillac
