'62 Impala SS convertible 409/409, 4-speed, Posi, black w/red guts, dual glasspack exhaust with chrome tips, and my old 14x6 Torq-Thrusts with US Royal Master whitewalls.

I know it's a Ford but it is from 1940...

I don't know that there's anything from 1951 that I'd want

Talk about limited choices....Rita (Mrs. Billy Bobcat) would have to get something like Henry Ford's Quadricycle or a horse and buggy

You're treading in dangerous waters Bill.

I can't make a choice. They didn't build cars the year I was born!!! Guess I'll just stick with what I have.

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?
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!

I'll have this

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:

Nothing like a drop-top Caddy.

I'll have a black '58 Vette thank you very much.

Hey TJ,
I have your car, except for the glasspacks and wheels.....



As for the year I was born..........................................
