Ford Thunderbird (1958-60)

Classic Thunderbirds are very nice cars in general. The second-generation T-Bird was the first to have comfy rear seats. I saw the second one while I was walking across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in late May. The third one was at a car show in San Jose in August. Once again, I am not a huge fan of the color white on cars.

1970-73 Chevrolet Camaro

The second-generation Camaro is an excellent car, especially before the oil crisis hit. After the oil crisis hit, American cars in general weren't very good until about thirty years later. I definitely dig the split front bumper. All of these are nice, but my choice would have to be the red '71 Z/28 at the top.

Austin-Healey 1000

I definitely like this car. It may not be the fastest or most reliable, but this is still a nice car. The last three photos were taken at a much later date, specifically late last month, at the 2013 Clovis British Car Roundup. More from that event coming soon.

1948 Ford Pickup


This Ford looks alright; it's not the best color combination. Anyway, I don't like classic trucks as much as other types of cars (i.e. American muscle, European supercars, high-end luxury vehicles), but they are still interesting.

1939 Chevy 2-Door Sedan

 
This doesn't have the best paint job in the world, but it's still a nice car. I think the best time periods for automobiles are the '50s, '60s, early '70s, and right now. The Thirties weren't as fascinating as the time periods mentioned in the previous sentence. Still a cool car, though.

1966 Dodge Polara

This is a sick car and was one of the biggest vehicles on the road around the time it was new. I can't remember the exact dimensions, but it's pretty huge. Nowadays, cars aren't this big due to emissions regulations. Also, this car has a large V8, a comfy interior, and tons of trunk space.

1957 Chevy 150 sedan

This isn't as iconic as the Bel Air of the same year, but this is more practical and inexpensive. This is still an excellent piece of machinery, just like most classic Chevys.

Late 1950's-Early 1960's Chevy Impala Wagon


I definitely like this car. It looks very nice and is also quite practical. The wagon version isn't as popular or common as the coupe. One more thing, the coupe is better than the wagon. The Impala coupe looks better and is more powerful than the wagon.

1957 Chevy Bel Air


The '57 Chevy Bel Air is one of the best cars ever made by Chevy along with the '69 Camaro, '70 Chevelle SS, '60s Corvette Stingray, '13 Camaro ZL1, and '09-'13 Corvette ZR1. These look and drive excellent, and have a comfy interior. The Bel Air is also one of the most iconic American cars ever built, along with the Camaro, Corvette, Cadillac El Dorado, Chevy Suburban, Ford F-series, Mustang, Lincoln Continental, Dodge Challenger, Charger, Viper, Jeep Wrangler, and others.
