I love that New Yorker. The 440 was a kick @ss engine, even in a big sled like that. I had a 71 Newport for two years. Helluva ride and reasonably swift with a 383.

The DeSoto Firesweep model always bugged me, what with its Dodge front clip tacked onto the rear 2/3 of a Chrysler. Loved the Fireflite and Adventurer though. Especially the Adventurer.

My favorite Lincolns were the '52-'55 models. Pretty good performers for their day and quite good looking, in my opinion.

Yeah, same here. The highlight of my life used to be heading over to the car dealers with my dad & brother to see the new models in the fall. On rare occasions, we'd come home with a new car. We went to look at the original Mustang when it came out. My brother and I begged the old man to get one, but we wound up with a '64 Galaxie convertible instead. Not a bad consolation prize, eh?

Wow, don't know how I came up with that. I'm seriously slow most of the time--just ask my coworkers. I can't even remember what we talked about in a meeting earlier today.

I'm still pissed that Oldsmobile was killed off. It was my favorite GM brand. Sorry, just had to share that.

Maybe the Chevy Monza hatchback & notchback? I can't remember what the dash looked like in either of these, but I remember the notchback looking a whole lot like a spruced up Vega from the outside...

A "maybe" for this question is the AMC Ambassador & Matador circa 1971? Not quite as clear cut as the Marquis & Monterey though.

Just a guess from memory--'71 Mercury Marquis vs. Monterey?

Wow. I think I'd quickly find myself in the ditch if that was in my car's CD player.

I'd say an AMC 390 would be just right.

Those '59s still blow me away. They were almost startling back in the day.

Always loved the 1969-'70 Marauder. The 429 was a happenin' engine. Took my driver's test in a '71 Marquis Brougham 2-door hardtop. I'd dearly love to have that car now. My favorite Merc:

1974:

Yeah, I'd definitely be happy. Delirious, even.

The talk about Apple reminds me of the time I went to the Honda dealership to try out the new Odyssey minivan (the first iteration of the large model, which replaced the overpriced tall station wagon). The salesdroid informed me that I would have to make an appointment to drive the dambed thing--and they were fully booked for the day already. "Maybe we can pencil you in for a Wednesday or Thursday test drive, Mr. NeonLX?". "No, maybe you can't. I'm not fawning over your tubby minivan like the rest of these lemmings".

'59 and '60 were really good years for Pontiac. Come to think of it, so were '55, '56, '57, '58, '61, '62, '63...etc.

What a big honkin' barge! But I love it.

Yeah, if the Transport was a '92 with the 3800, I'd go with that. If I'm stuck with a '91 model, however, I'd take the Voyager, no question. We had a 1989 that was the bee's knees.

Ramblers were classy little cars.Those hood ornaments are amazing.

Very clean. Looks to be a daily driver though; hope it won't be slogging through snow & ice (and all of the salt used on the streets in the winter).

Probably the Dodge. Or maybe the Mercury...jeez, I just don't know. '59 Ambassador would likely be my first choice. They went pretty well with the AMC 327 V8.

Is the 3.0L V6 related to the 3.6L?

Jeez, that '61 Phantom is to die for.
