I don't know that there's anything from 1951 that I'd want https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Talk about limited choices....Rita (Mrs. Billy Bobcat) would have to get something like Henry Ford's Quadricycle or a horse and buggy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

You're treading in dangerous waters Bill. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

I can't make a choice. They didn't build cars the year I was born!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Guess I'll just stick with what I have. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

But here's something to think about: How would you like to be the original owner of a car that was built BEFORE you were born? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
There was a dealership just South of us that previously sold Studebakers, and eventually Buicks. On the back lot of that delership sat a half dozen or so '63 Stude's that had never been sold/titled. One of the members here (Amuseme) often talked about buying one just to say he was "The Original Owner of a Car Built Before I was Born!"
Later, that same dealer also had some "leftover" Boat tail Riviera's under similar circumstances. Very unusual!

'61 Canadian Pontiac Strato-Chief 2 Door Post w/ factory Chevy 409 4 Spd. .

The Canadian Ponchos had Chevy chassis/drivetrain so w/ a bit o' wangling could've been built w/ any available Chevy combo. .
Although possible mid year, I don't think any were built but this has always been the one for me w/ it's Chevy Biscayne brother in second place. .
Either would be the Fleetmaster-Utility version w/ 'everything delete'....dog-dish caps of course!

Re: Car From The Year You Were Born
 

Bill, I'd have to agree with you. Due to the Korean conflict, there weren't too many cool cars that year.
Here's my choice:
