I'm sorry, brother. I guess I'm just an incurable heretic. Some of them are just plain silly looking to me.

But............there are indeed a few real gems there!

You are a car heretic. Actually most of my friends make fun of my choices. If I could have a fiberglass reconstruction of a 1947 Cabriola I would. Alas it costs between 500 and 800 thousand dollars.

Brother, I love old cars! But these just don't get it for me. Too outer spacey looking.

1938 Talbot-Lago T150-C Lago Speciale Teardrop Coupé is one of my faves ...

Man, you guys like some old, tired cars. Why not post up a pic of a horse and buggy?

It isn't our fault that since about 1960 most cars look like dog turds.

With so many weddings and wedding anniversaries, I think the following picture would be nice:

The Rolls and the 1938 Talbot are certainly beautiful. Here's a 1947 Delehaye

I had one of these in 1970. When the engine blew I had nothing to do with it but park it in a pasture until I gave it away.

It was a 1954 Mercury with factory air conditioning.

In my opinion, the 1955 Packard has to be among the most beautiful production cars ever made.

Not only was it a beautiful car, but it was one that had advanced features that other cars didn't have for over 20 years after it.

They're okay, in a sort of 1930's spaceship sort of way, I guess.

I like American cars from the mid '30's to the late '50's; then pick it up again about 1969 or so; most cars from the early '60's all look the same: flat and square.

But the perfect collector car for me would be something like this:

Now THAT'S awesome!!!

Of course, if you want to start talking airplanes, we could be here all day.
