Re: IML: Question of the Day

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that limit you to automatic transmissions?

I have always lusted after a 60's Chrysler convertible with a four speed. I am also very partial to the fuselage Chrysler convertibles, especially the 300. I wish that they had made Imperial convertibles after 1968. If the sky was the limit, who knows. There certainly are some very nice Imperials.

All:

 

A friend of mine and I were talking over the weekend about our favourite cars/marques (definitely missing a chromosome because he is a Chevy guy - hahaha) and we got to pondering the questions, "If money, space, and time (& in some cases, spouses) were no objects, what marque & car (or cars) would you own?  How many?  For what purpose?"

 

He went on about tri-five Chevrolets, Corvettes, & T-Birds (I reminded him that that was a Ford....).

 

I replied simply.

Marque?  Imperial

Cars?  One from each year of production from the 50s - 70s.  Models/body styles (Crown, LeBaron, 2-door, 4-doors, sedans, hard tops, convertible, etc.) scattered throughout production years.  I would buy a limousine also.

Purpose?  I would have some that were in pristine condition and some that needed work so that I could continue to learn about cars in general and the brand in particular.  I would drive each one of them.  :-)

 

 

So I was wondering what members of this list thought about those questions.  How 'bout it?
