For me it was a 1971 Chevy Chevelle. I loved that car. 4 speed. It moved. I think I was stopped by every cop in my county! It was canary yellow, and was a work in progress. My husband made me sell it when I was pregnant with our first son. Most likely because I drove it WAY too fast, but also because it had no power steering, no power brakes and no air conditioning. Traded "up" to a Cadiallac Eldorado and presently am driving a mini van! Uggggghhhh! How I miss my Chevelle! I even had the plate read "Shevelle".

Since I have had cars and pickups for more years than I care to count, coming up with a favorite is going to be difficult, but I'll try. I think it is between a 1978 Ford Thunderbird, Diamond Jubilee edition, a 1965 Chevy Impala Convertible, and my current car which is a 1991 Mercury Capri Convertible. I will try to explain why each of these is on this short list.The Thunderbird had every option you can think of and a few that most folks are probably not even aware of, like the radio, which was AM/FM, 8 track, and Factory CB. The Impala for the simple reason that it was my first convertible and had a 283 engine. The Capri because it's a convertible, 5 speed, great gas mileage, (I get 40 plus MPG) and I still have it. Now for the sob story that goes along with this. I lost the Impala when I got broadsided by a Pinto Station Wagon which rolled it. I lost the Thunderbird when I stopped to help someone that was stranded on the side of the road. Suddenly I noticed that there was smoke pouring out from under the hood, and the heat was so intense that it melted the front license plate. I haven't had any problems with the Capri, yet. Hopefully, I won't.

You are lucky that the pinto didn't back up into you, you'd probably have been stuck in an inferno!

Hi, sounds like it was a lovely cat that you had! I think my favourite car was a Ford Escort MK1 (You won't be that familiar with it unless you know alot about cars in the UK) Anyhow it was bright yellow, had blacked-out windows, 2.1 pinto engine, quickshift gearbox, wide wheels the lot, it looked sooo cool! That was my fave car!

Oh yeah! My kind of car! Right now my husband has a 1966 Pontiac GTO. Love it!
