The OP didn't ask what else you would do with the money, just what vehicle you would consider buying.
For me it would be a 2001-2004 Corvette convertible.

Perhaps the OP could clarify?

Is it that you have other income which fully meets your needs and all of your future expenses are fully covered by other money / investments - The $1M is money which can be entirely spent on a vehicle? (Never will be needed for anything else.)

Or all you have in the world is just the $1M?

In either case I would still say Volvo! (Safety)

Aston Martin DBS, and yes, I would use it as a daily driver.

Got it.

The OP is just talking if we had some stoopid amount of play money.

Here it be:

Hmmm.....good point, GP. On top of the Charger, I'd have my 91 Wrangler stripped to the bones and made brand new again.

1962 Ferrari 250GTO, can you even get that for a $million now-n-days? If not, I'd have a beautiful kitcar made of one, for a couple hundred grand...then drive the snot out of it. In fact, that might be a better option, since I enjoy driving more than "looking" at a car...and I'd take me another $Million to ensure an original, especially if I planned to drive it to more than car shows.

I would not get anything really fancy. Probably a Jensen Interceptor Convertable (About $50K)

Possibly a 21 window VW bus (Restored) (Also abotu $50K)

I woudl change my mind every week though. Falcaon F III, 1971 Barracuda Hemi vert (Proabbaly could not afford that one).

Realistically I would wnat something to drive and a car over $100,000 is not something to drive.

Of course not, but the question was worded really weirdly.
I still don't understand what it's asking.
Or why someone would think if you had a million bucks you could just buy whatever car.

Wanted to see what the members would buy? You can also state your age if you like (optional)
You mean, what car would my driver buy?
