Since I'm a late 67 edition to this world, I have several great choices between a couple different manufacturers and body styles! You could buy a 67 or early 68 model! Hate to say it but probably a good ol 67 SS 396 Chevelle with a 4 spd! Black of course.

Default Born in 1953

I like the '53 Pontiacs (In fact, I like every year of the Pontiacs!) but if I had to choose one car from 1953 it would have to be the intial year offering of the Corvette!

Since it is my birthday, I will play this game. However, since I can't decide
between a 1933 Pierce Silver Arrow, or a 1933 Cadillac 16 cylinder convertible,
I will have to take one of each!

Pierce-Arrow is the hands-down choice- so much more high-tech than a Caddy. Two cams, roller lifters, zero-gap rings, etc.
Happy Birthday Jim!

Well it would have to be a "1952 Jag 120 Roadster" and then get out of it and hop into a '52 Chevy 3/4 ton pick-um-up!

Hmmm, 1978. I'm assuming exotics and 1-offs are out, so knowing what I know NOW, I'd go with a "Bandit" T/A 400/4speed or Pace Car Vette and keep the miles low for resale purposes, but realistically It would be a 78 T/A or possibly Formula WS6 400/4 speed hardtop. Silver w/black cloth & most options.

A 1956 Pontiac Concept car " 1956 Pontiac Club de Mer " was what it was called. They destroyed it in 1958 apparently.. Beautiful Lines..

Exactly! I bought my 71 GTO convertible last fall, built in August of 1970. Same week I was born...
