Favorite Cars?

A series of unexpected events led to the New Eldorado playing a major role in my life at the time.

The 1970 Eldorado with its 500 cubic inch V8 will always be a very special car to me.

^ Now that's a Cadillac man. Much better car than the redesigned 1971 Eldorado that they tried to make the size of an aircraft carrier.

Personally I love the "Forward look", big finned cars from 1957 to 1960. Longer, lower, wider was their advertising jingle
kind of pedestrian 1959 Chrysler, just look at how wild even a nice but sensible sedan was back then, love those big fins

It was the Dream of the 1960's!

Imagine a car powered by a Jet Engine.

Chrysler didn't just imagine, Chrysler actually manufactured and installed a working jet engine engine into a limited production car in 1963, simply called the "Chrysler Turbine".

As the 20th century moves farther away in the distance, events like Chrysler's Turbine Car Program become lost in time. Yet the turbine engine has an important place in automotive engineering. Fuel efficient gasoline engines today own much to Chrysler's development work to make jet power available in automobiles.

Many thanks to the King Rose Archives for saving this awesome Chrysler Proving Grounds film footage:

 
There are some very nice cars in this thread. :D

It almost makes me wish I could drive. Although there is hardly enough room on English roads to do so nowadays. Too many drivers. #-o

I've just discovered that I love this. Apparently it's called a Morris Minor. It seems familiar. I think my dad may have owned one 50 years ago when I was a kid. It looks so cute. I could see myself in a car like this. :luv2:

My first car was one of these. My dad bought it for me new for my sophomore college year. 1970.5 was the first year they were out, the first time a new car was introduced mid-year, and the design was like nothing seen before. It was the first "hatchback". Mine was the second one sold in Youngstown, Ohio. I loved that car!

It also came with a 1yr, or 12,000mi, warranty. That was unheard of before, too. And, I'd put that 12K on it within 90 days. HA!

The front seats reclined, and the back seat folded flat forward. I could fit everything I owned in it. At one point I got 9 people in it. 3 in front, 4 in back, and two behind the back seat. Because I was small, I was one of the two squished against the back window.

It had a 256 cu. in. straight six, a four speed automatic, and was rear wheel drive. Since it was so light, it would scoot like a bat out of Hell. For traction in winter, I'd put bags of cat litter behind the back seat.

It's "paddle" door handles were also a first, and it also had a "package tray" under the dash. People would stop to ask what country it came from.

These pics are not my car, and I don't know how old this one was when the pics were taken. Mine was the same "Big Bad Blue", but had wider white side stripes. These are the only pics I could find in that color.

I've owned or driven many, many, many cars since. I was even in the car biz for a while. However, your first love always holds a special place in your heart. (!w!) :luv:

Actually I'm not that keen on the 1959 Impala, neat fins but the front just doesn't do it for me. I thought Buick and Cadillac had much cooler looking cars for 1959. 1962, 1963, 1965, and 1967 were all better designs for the Impala IMO.
 
I grew up near the Norfolk Navy Base in Norfolk, VA.

What that means is I was fortunate to be surrounded by single men with money and cars, lots of cars.
My dad told me that many Naval Officers drove imported cars just to show-off to the enlisted men.

So I grew up around Facel-Vegas, like the HK500, having no idea that most Americans had never even heard of Facel-Vega.

It feels strange to know that I saw on the streets of Norfolk cars that were all but unknown away from the east coast of the United States.

^ That thing got a Hemi????
 
I like the kind that get me from point A to point B with a minimum amount of fuss and gets good gas mileage.

Of the few cars I've owned (I don't have one now and wish I did) my fave was my first: A '71 VW Super Beetle. It was Clementine Orange and the panels on the front were white, and there was a white stripe down each side of the car. The orange paint also had subtle gold fleck in it which looked pretty cool when the sun was shining on it.

It took me lots of places, but wasn't the best in a headwind never being able to get past 60 mph. With a decent tailwind, I could get it wound up to 90 mph. It got great mileage and was a good city car. With an air cooled engine, maintenance was cost effective, though winter driving when it came to heat was a bit problematic. I spent lots of time scrapping the INside of the windshield until the engine warmed up enough to keep the window clear.

I really liked it. :)
 
This is what I drove, with six of us, from Youngstown, OH, to Oglebay Park, in Wheeling, WV, the day after high school senior prom, in 1968.

The 1966 Chrysler Imperial belonged to one of the guy's dad. I was driving because I was the only one who knew where we were going.

"The Bug" is such an iconic car, despite it's regrettable origin as a "Hitler vision". Ferdinand Porche truly hit an all time "Home Run" with it!

I can not claim to be a "Bug" owner. Luckily, friends had them. Granted, though under powered, especially in "bus" configuration, they were a blast to drive, and lots of Fun! \:/

I'm also familiar with scraping the Inside of the windshield. ](*,)

I also recall a time of driving north along "The L" in Chicago, shortly after a downpour, and glancing to my left to see a "Bug", under "The L", shooting "rooster tails" out the back, and going nowhere. With their closed undercarriage they tended to float! And, the water in "the dip" was just deep enough to raise it's wheels off the pavement. :rotflmao: #-o

Even in today's iteration, "Bugs" ROCK! (!w!)

Kyanimal is correct.

The HK500 started with the Chrysler 5.8 litre Hemi-V8. By 1959 production quickly switched to the new Chrysler 6.3 litre "Wedge Head" V8 engines.

Facel-Vega started as F.A.C.E.L., (Forges et Ateliers de Constructions d'Eure-et-Loir) in the 1930's as an automotive body fabricator that soon began making complete cars under their own name just before WWII.

After the war, Facel partnered with Chrysler to install American V8 power into a series of luxurious touring cars of which the HK500 was an excellent example.

From 1954 to 1964 Facel-Vega produced Chrysler powered luxury cars as Two-door Coupes and Convertibles, and a beautiful Four-door Hardtop Saloon

These are my current sets of wheels.

2008 Dodge Avenger RT with AWD. It was built at the height of the Daimler/Chrysler "union". It has a Mercedes C Class interior, and the Mercedes 4-Matic All Wheel Drive System. It's powered by a Dodge 3.5L High Output V6, with a 6 speed automatic with "slap shift".

Given the corporate "break up" that followed, it was the only year that model was built. Scoots like a "bat out of Hell"! It's AWD, and ABS with traction control has saved my butt several times.

2008_dodge_avenger_r_t_100023490_l.jpg

It's a long story why I also now have a 2015 Chrysler 200 S. The "S" stands for "Sport". Given the Fiat/Chrysler "union", it's built on an Alpha Romeo platform. It's also AWD, and powered by a Chrysler 3.6L V6 with a 9 speed automatic, with paddle shifters on the steering wheel (which is also heated when necessary).

When it's shifted into "S", the transmission shift points are enhanced (lowered/sooner/tighter), the traction control turned off, and even the exhaust note is lowered to a throaty growl. It scoots like a "bat and a quarter out of Hell"!

They're really the same car with a 7yr. difference. The Avenger is analog with mechanical connections. The 200 S is all digital, and "fly by wire". Nothing is directly connected to anything. Even the parking brake is electronic. It's pretty amazing how much the cars have changed in such a short time. And, yet, they don't Feel that much different.

I drive each one a week at a time. I don't want either one sitting for too long. Like I said, it's a long story why I have both of them, and in spite of those circumstances, I'm glad that I do since I really enjoy them.
