1965 MGB

OMIGOSH...that was my first car!!!! A white 65 MGB. It was sooooooooooooo fun...I LOVED driving with the top down. I loved driving Hwy 49 just for the fun of it.

Well, both days it worked, anyway ;-)

Dang, I miss having a convertible. Now that my daugther is older...

Lime Green mid-70's Cadillac Eldorado. You could drive the whole fraternity to the beach in that car.

My very first car, a 1960 Triumph Herald 1200, I paid $60 for it in 1968.

Mine looked like this when I got it. It looked much worse 2 years later.

I saw a beautiful wrangler on my way in to work this morning and it was enough to make me want to trade my my Grand Cherokee. How do you like your wrangler?

When the Herald debuted, a U.K. car magazine extolled "Hark The Herald's Axles Swing"(swing axle design).

The Plymouth Prowler. For sheer head-turning appeal and technical innovation (amazing body/chassis design), it's got to be considered for "best" honors, even if it isn't a "classic".
