Mine.

[ChoralScholar]

1. I dug the 68 Barracuda.

But I'm a Mopar man. :)

[ChoralScholar]

2. Also just saw a nice Cougar. 67 methinks?

[Bennyboy]

3. I believe so...

That was a nice car though and got some kind of ribbon...

[Gold Metal Flake]

4. The red and white convertable? That was a 1969.

No convertables in 1967/68, and those looked different as well.

[City of Mills]

12. Same here, but i'm biased

My first car was a '69 Barracuda fastback (more of a Johnny Cash version though, technically it was a 67-68-69 Barracuda), total mechanical POS but the body was great and straight...spent my first two legally licensed years saving money to complete the repairs on it to get it roadworthy...this was in 1990 or so. Loved that car, I would dream about it for years after selling it (just wasn't practical for a poor college student with no garage).

5. Sorry - they's not even in the running.

Go here.


'L'Art d'Automobile'

6. What? No rusty old trucks?

I want a rusty old truck!

[Gold Metal Flake]

7. Someone didn't click enough...

Cuz you missed this:

[snagglepuss]

8. What fantastic collection of cars. I'm not exactly a car enthusiast but

that collection of cars is phenomenal. Those interiors are jaw dropping. Thanks for posting.

[Heidi]

9. Thank you for these photos! I love car shows! Here's my favorite:

[Brother Buzz]

10. I like that Studebaker

Especially the paint. The body has been channeled so much I don't even know what part of my brain says it's a Studebaker. It's a Studebaker, right?

[kentauros]

11. Can't say I really care for any of them.

These are more my style (and favorites) :








:hi:

[txwhitedove]

14. Houston Art Car Parade! Damn, I missed it this year.

:thumbsup:

[kentauros]

18. The weather was perfect!

A little warm, but not hot!

I'm in the process of renaming, resizing and cropping my images now. I'll post thumbnail links when I have them uploaded somewhere :)

[Bennyboy]

22. I'll see your ART CARS

[kentauros]

24. There were a couple like the third one there

with toys glued on. I'll upload them later this evening, as one was nothing but plastic cars on a car ;)

[HopeHoops]

13. My '68 Galaxie 500 fastback - Grandfather bought her new and I still have her.

She's got a 390 and that rear window that's like eleventy-million feet long.

[MrScorpio]

15. Here we go

[Joe Fields]

16. I like the very early Dusenbergs

[Hepburn]

17. 50's Merc's

Slammed, smooth, shaved, flames and baby moons! :loveya:

[REPUguy]

19. The Studebaker #176 &177

My first car. It cost me $25 in 1967.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. Definitely the Malibu. I had a '67 and a '70...both yellow, one with a black vinyl roof.

Sweetest rides of my life. BOTH of them lived in the repair shop. If I could afford it, I'd own one again and shit-can my Honda. It may be "reliable" but it is also "sterile."

[Throd]

21. The 1967 Oldsmobile 442

[wysimdnwyg]

23. I liked this one

[Enthusiast]

25. I actually owned a 73X

with the V-8 and levi interior. Bought new with a sticker price of $3,090! Automatic, no air.

[guitar man]

26. I love this one

I'd get rid of those ridiculous wheels and put some wheels that belong on there, but this truck is awesome :)

[hunter]

27. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

That's how I treat my cars.



This guy may or may not have dreams of making it all shiny and good as new, but I like patina.

[jimmie]

28. mitsu 3000 gt turbo

eom

[Rob H.]

29. This Chrysler

Holy crap is it cool:




Edited to add: didn't even notice the old-school pinstriping above the leading edge of the hood and the headlights at first. Sweet!
