Wow, very unique, at least where I'm from. Do you live in England?

I have had many cars over the years mainly 1930s to 1970 s. I use my cars a lot, love driving them, but have a core of cars that I have kept. Also have 2 1972 Toyota Ke25 coupes, one a race car that my son now uses, 2 1976 Toyota Ke35 coupes , 1974 Kenworth W924 tractor unit.

Very nice, my Kiwi friend. Thank you for sharing your core collection. That Kenworth is a rare sight! Fantastic.
If I travel to New Zealand, I'll be looking for you.

Ha! Adam, don't be ashamed of the Ford; she looks great. When it comes to cars, Chryslers are my heartbeat, but I enjoy many marquees when I go to shows and conventions and such. Ford struck a chord with the Thunderbird, and even better with the Mustang. What a hit, continuously produced since about 1964. I wish Chargers and Challengers could boast like that. Take care, Adam. Say, if you have a big event in Columbus, let me know. I'm only 3-1/2 hours away.

Will let you know - we do have some good shows here, so as I see them come up, I'll let you know. Please do the same from your area, it's actually a nice drive once you get out of Columbus.

That's probably a good idea for a new forum section - a cruise-in / car show section for people to post about their local or even national events. Will see if I can find a calendar addon to help track it on the forum.

Amazing collection! One day I'm going to grow mine as well. Currently out of space and money, so until I can move to a more spacious property, or find a good deal on some garage storage in Columbus here, I will not be growing my collection any further.

You have a good eye though! Very cool collection!

Here's a few others I've previously owned but no longer own. My first entry into the classic car world was a 68 Cadillac convertible. The engine in the caddy was a beast. It had so much power, it would squeal the tires from a stop - but I didn't like the color at all.

Then got a 66 Lincoln Continental convertible with the suicide doors. That Lincoln was the smoothest ride ever - never been in another car with a ride that nice, but it would almost throw you out going around corners.

Sadly, those two cars are both gone now. Sold off to make room for the Imperials. I've also had my eye out for a 59 Lincoln Continental convertible, but these are still priced way too high currently, so I'll have to continue to wait... besides, I don't have any more room anyway and I'm not selling my Imperials.
