MM Classics - Who is into cars from the 50's and 60's? - Jeff - 03-16-2007 I have taken up an interest in cars from the 50's and 60's. I've been going through my grandfathers old files and pictures and I really think they are some of the most beautiful cars ever made. This past week I went to look at this 1956 DeSoto (anyone know that name? :wink ![]() ![]() <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.donovansusedcars.com/vehicle_pages/295797.htm">http://www.donovansusedcars.com/vehicle ... 295797.htm</a><!-- m --> It has a beautiful interior but the price needs to be more like $3,000. I am going to look at a 1958 Dodge sometime next week. All I know is it is a 10y/o restoration done at WW motorcars in Broadway. I know the guys down there and they do fantastic work. Guy wants $8,500...no idea what body style. Its a "green two-tone" according to the owner of WW. This is a 58 Dodge Coronet just to get an idea. They all look about the same, just the number of doors changes. ![]() Sylvia has always wanted a Forward Look fin car (Any Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, or Imperial from 1957 to 1960) That comes from before she met me...for the record. She is partial to the Fury/Belvedere/Savoy. You may know if from the film "Christine." ![]() The "Fury" she insists she wants was only available in Creme' with gold accents and a 413ci Golden Lion Hemi. They are getting rare and cannot be had in restored shape for under $20. So, does anyone else here dig on these cars? I've been listening to XM 50's on 5 for the past two weeks ![]() - ScottyB - 03-16-2007 i like them for how they look. i could never own one but to ride in one or look one over close up is a pleasure. - Jeff - 03-16-2007 413 Hemi is a pleasure! Centerplain "suicide" brakes however...they are not. Bendix disc conversion FTW!!! $1000 well spent. - HAULN-SS - 03-16-2007 I prefer stuff from the 40's instead, along the lines of ![]() but something like this would work pretty good for me too ![]() - Sijray21 - 03-16-2007 i'd never buy one or own one, but i like'm ![]() - Mike - 03-16-2007 i like cars from the 60s... ![]() - Apoc - 03-16-2007 I will own a '57 Corvette and/or an '59 Caddy before I die. I used to not like them at all but I've recently gotten into all things retro. More details on that to come. ![]() - .RJ - 03-16-2007 Apoc Wrote:I will own a '57 Corvette and/or an '59 Caddy before I die. No chance, buying an older car means you gotta turn wrenches on it ![]() - Mike - 03-16-2007 .RJ Wrote:Apoc Wrote:I will own a '57 Corvette and/or an '59 Caddy before I die. oh man.. i almost forgot... you missed the 4-hour rotor replacement by chris... true hilarity. - Apoc - 03-16-2007 .RJ Wrote:Apoc Wrote:I will own a '57 Corvette and/or an '59 Caddy before I die. Shows what you know. Anyone who can afford a '57 Corvette can afford to pay someone to wrench on it. ...and it was a 2 hour rotor replacement. Bitchface. - .RJ - 03-16-2007 Apoc Wrote:Shows what you know. Anyone who can afford a '57 Corvette can afford to pay someone to wrench on it. Then you'd have to put it on a trailer to take its somewhere when its busted. Double whammy. - WRXtranceformed - 03-16-2007 Yeah, I'm more into the 60-70s era, then even further back, like 40s-early 50s.

Duhhhhhh.... - .RJ - 03-16-2007 Apoc Wrote:Or just pay someone to come get it and then wrench it. Duhhhhhh.... Well, if you pay someone to do everything else then why not ![]() - Apoc - 03-16-2007 Exactly my point. Anyway, I don't really see why you'd have to wrench a car that was properly sorted anyway. Yes, some things will go wrong here and here but it's not like I'm talking about buying a piece and fixing it up a la RJ. Contrary to popular belief I can handle the minor things and if something major goes wrong you take it to a shop. Problem solved. Old - RJ != busted - Dave - 03-16-2007 late 60s and up for me. Nothing else really appeals to me, yet. Step away from the money pit Jeff :-). - Sijray21 - 03-16-2007 ...copying Mike...mmmm - .RJ - 03-16-2007 Apoc Wrote:Old - RJ != busted The miata will be gone this weekend... leaving me with my two primary modes of transport both built in this decade.

Yes it runs, but it leaks gas so that doesn't count. |
