Use an "old car" as my daily driver. Bought it from my cousin who was the original owner in 1989. It is a 1974 Olds Cutlass Supreme, with AC, buckets,tw,pw, console. I had bought it so I could finish restoring my Tempest wagon (that was also a daily driver up until that point). The car "grew"on me. The Olds 350 is indestructible-(now has 480,000 miles without rebuilding the engine) (did trans once) rearend twice. It still runs well too. And it rides like you are in a living room, as well as having all the "extras" I would ever care for. I know these arent desirable like the 64-72 models are, but they handle better, and I dont plan on selling it so it doesnt matter. Car still looks good (on second paint job)-doesnt sit still long enough to rust-but thinking of getting it repainted again soon to keep it fresh. Also, just driving this car when I got it back in 89', caused me to set up my 66 Pontiac for handling as well to match. (Actually used a steering box and front sway bar out of a 76 Grand Prix to match the "feel" of the Olds) I need to get me some more Pontiacs though. I have 3 engines (a 66 389, a 67 400, a 73 455 and a 77 400 (557) block that I have acquired over the years with no place to put them. Thing of sticking the 455 I presently have in my 66 in a 76 Ventura that my dad no longer drives (my mom passed away in Sept after a 13 year battle with cancer-he is driving her old 93 Buick now. I am getting CVMS to build the 455 I had laying around into a real nice street engine for the wagon.

Just to balance out the three Ponchos, I have these others....

(First one is my current project car... an '88 LX 5.0 T-Top that was my first new car. I sold it, and bought it back from its third owner as a basket case, and am slowly restoring it).

My Dad loved Hudson's.....last one he had was 52/53(?) Hornet..Twin H-Power was a early Tri-power for a Hudson I guess....anyway all my buddies thought it was cool....and for the day it would scoot !! I think it had a 308 CI flathead 6....not sure of CI..Loved to drive it...My Dad always ask me why the cops kept tailing him ..

I now have a 69 Corvair rag top...bucket seats,4 speed, & a stero. What more could you want ?..69 was last year for Corvair and they only produced 521 rag tops !! Wonder how many are left ??
I bought it for a investment + it's a fun car to drive...and stay out of trouble..& women think it's cute ...LOL

My Dad was selling Pontiacs from 1963 - 1996. Always my first love.

But I pitted for my wife's older brother when he campaigned a '68 Camaro, and my wife's first car was a '71 Camaro. So she wanted another Camaro...

The day we got it home:



After it was "done":



My Dad's favorite car was the Cadillac - it's what he sold when he started selling cars until 1963. He bought this car in 1958 - he drove it as our family car until 1965 when he stored it. I restored it in the mid 90's so that I could see him drive it again.



I also own a '99 GMC 4x4, but as noted earlier, Pontiac doesn't make trucks...

67 Chevrolet C10 long, wide bed nothing special, have 406 SBC/TH400 built and ready
68 Chevrolet C10 long, wide bed, (get this) 396 TH400 A/C P/S P/B, yes, original..
85 Ford F150 trash truck, got it cheap, real cheap will get recycled when I get one of the Chevy's done...

Champ, my favorite car you have there is that 49' Cadillac Limo. Always liked the clean , elegant styling of the 30's and 40's Caddys. The 49' was the best of the breed with its modern OHV V8, in a time when no other maker but Olds had such a thing. Nice car.
