In the 60’s I always wanted a mustang, in the 70’s I always wanted a riviera. Still never had either.

Austin Healy 3000 Mark III. Once owned one (early 70's) but traded it in on Ford Gran Torino.

First car was an Austin Healey Sprite. Sliding plastic windows. Second was an MG Midget. Roll up windows. Woot, woot.

Not so much into the supercar dream. Even back then i maybe wanted a Vette, or a 56/57 T-Brid with the porthole windows.

Today, i have three or four cars on my list, in no particular order:

Maybe a Vette up to 60/61. Early VW Beatle. Model A Ford pickup--up to 1931. M-38 Flat Fender Jeep....1952

None are particularly "exotic", but they all hold a special interest for me and would be enough to satisfy my simple pleasures.

It wasn't exactly my "growing up" wish car, because I can't remember a car I wanted. But I wish I could have my '98 Geo Tracker back again!

The car I lusted for in high school was the pantera. I saw it in ads in car magazines and could imagine having $9995 to buy one. Today I own Ferrari and mclaren and don’t lust after it, but I see them frequently at car shows and still think they are beautiful.

This is going to be fun::

1965 Shelby GT 350, or
1969 Camaro Z28, or
1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 454

Love American muscle cars of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s.
