If you could choose one car from each decade, what would they be?

[Nik]

While lazily sitting around daydreaming, I thought about what cars I thought stood out from each decade, and what it would cost to assemble my list. There's no rhyme or reason to what I chose, they are just what best represented that decade to me. What would you choose?

1932 Ford 5 window coupe
1941 Willys coupe
1953 Studebaker Starlight coupe
1963 Chevy split-window Corvette
1971 Plymouth 340 'Cuda coupe
1987 Buick GNX Grand National
1997 Dodge Viper GTS coupe

with no knowledge to have lived any but the late 70s onward..

30s - a Packard
40s - anything flathead v8
50s - a dive into gm, 265, 283, anything that held them
60s - anything..most likely a continue of gm, sedan (I like b-pillars)
70s- I was just started to bang hubcaps as a little boy on my dads 60 something wagon.. I'd go with anything, except small.
80s- gm again, to the rescue... I'd do the same thing again, and find an HO 305 g body.
90s- I drew the line, I am never buying a vehicle newer than a carb again.

Too broad of an answer there, boxer. you need to figure out which Packard or which GM you would want to drive.

Too broad of an answer there, boxer. you need to figure out which Packard or which GM you would want to drive.

a good history lesson to find precise..
I did have a book as a kid, every rare automobile, even one offs no one cares to mention.
horseless carriage, etc etc.

for the Packard, one I watched on you tube just today..full restore, even back to the tiny carb on a big straight 8.

30s:

1939 Packard 120 convertible

40s:

I cannot find a 1940s ford flathead example, still open to "any" but a truck. the six was stronger in the mains for the trucks. the 8 was fun to stay light with.. a 40s roadster flathead 8 (coupe). why I cannot find one..odd.

for the 50s:
1955 chevy 210, 265v8 powerpack (first example that showed up on you tube)

60s:

302dz Camaro

70s:

1974 chevelle sedan
to this day, the only 1974 chevelle sedan on you tube, 5 years later...(I owned one), and its in another country. Go figure.

80s:


1984 monte carlo SS
my own had the same wheels, same paint. 84 was different in several ways.. and the only one I found to be sure to have a 305 HO.. pistons nearly flat as pancakes. This car revived my faith in old school. Been there ever since.

90s:

nothing, no interest at all. I tried at modern with a 97 chevy Corsica..the end of my interest. I stay revived going back in time.
