Hmmmm... I was born in October of 1970, so for the purposes of this question would I be driving a 1970 model or a 1971 since they would have been out by my birthday?

If 1970, I'll say RAIV 4 speed Judge in Orbit Orange.
If 1971, I'll go with a base T-37 with a 455 HO and 4 speed in Lucerne Blue.

That's a good point. I was born in August 1966, so I might be a '67 model.
Therefore I would drive a 1967 LeMans OHC Sprint convertible 4-speed. Silver with red interior. Again, loaded to the gills. And put Hurst wheels on it with redlines...

'40 Merc coupe. Only year the shape of the top differed from Ford- a little bit more "formal" looking. In my highschool days a guy in the next town had a beautiful one, stock-bodied but repainted aquamarine. When he swapped in an Olds V8 I got his "3/4 race" flathead for my '47 Ford tudor.

Probably should pick a '68 442 like I grew up in (Family had 2 in a row, first one bought new when my dad was stationed in my birthplace VA)

Really would like a '68 GTO Conv RAII 4 spd though

Current things I own from my birth year are a '68 4 spd Camaro and my AK

Well, my first choice would be the 1954 Bonneville Special...



But it might be a little hard to afford...

More affordable, but still expensive, the 1954 Buick Skylark...



And I really want one of these - 1954 GMC 5 Window...

Didn't really care for a lot of the cars from 1957, either I would drive a leftover, my grandad's 1956 Packard 400 coupe, which I came home from the hospital in and still have, supposedly one of the last to roll off the Packard line.


OR, I always thought the 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk was cool, just because it really had a look all of it's own.
