I'm very surprised that I could not find a thread like this already on the forum, but here goes.
Just post pics/info about cars you'd absolutely love to own, drive, or just drool over in your driveway all day
Couple of cars I really like...
1977-79 Oldsmobile Delta 88
Massive, heavy American sedan that I just love everything about. Everything on this car is just so visually satisfying to look at. It's not extremely magnificent like most 1960s American cars, but I kinda like that - in that it might turn some heads, but not too many. The style is just to the point where it's comfortably post-1975, but pre-1990 (modern, but not too modern). Even watching it smoothly sway & rock as it elegantly rolls over hills and small bumps along the road is just such a wonderful sight to me. The 1980-85 ones are nice too, but not quite as large, high door handles (really close to the window still like the Impalas/Caprices of the same time), and with less attractive tail lights.
1970-76/1977-79 Chevrolet Impala (4-door)
I'm torn between the 1970-76 Impalas and 1977-79 ones here....it changes back and fourth from day-to-day. But if I had to, I could settle for the 1980-85 ones as well. Boxy style appeals to me. Pleasing to the eye...
1976 Pontiac Catalina
Yes, I know - I'm a sucker for late 70s/early 80s cars.
Now I know my picks of large, heavy 4-door sedans may be strange to some of you - they're kinda slow and loud, but I'll take it. I love everything about them. I was never really into sports cars and the like, I just want a wonderfully comfy ride with reasonable (great) styling that has long since passed. I'd throw in a small car to be fair, but now that I have my '84 Accord, I'm good on that front!

Cars i'd love to own.... there is so a big bunch of them...... from the 1930's to actual ones, all kinds of type and size.... i guess i would need to be a millionaire.....then i would need to be a billionaire.... then .... is there something above of billionaire ?
When it comes to cars, i'd probably get the collector's bug ( or bite, not sure.. ) if i had the money to do so and need a huge warehouse to host my personnal auto show....
Here a few pics, otherwise this topic would be as big as the interesting cars one...
Buick Grand National/GNX , don't really matter which one it would be, but one of them would be in
One of his platform partners, the Hurst Oldsmoblie Cutlass Supreme.
To this duo, would be added of course a Pontiac Grand Prix and a Chevy Monte Carlo SS, both with T-Top.
the Camaro twin would be in too, with Corvette... in fact, love everything with T-Top ( almost everything, 1974-1978 Mustang is really ugly but i would tolerate a Cobra )
or Targa
and some others from AMC, including of course their AMX counterparts...
Hudson Hornet
Buick Reatta, just because its rare..
A lot of muscle cars too... Olds 442 and relatives, 1969 Plymouth Road Runner...and many more....
some movie replicas too : General Lee, Ecto-1, KITT ( once again, and many more... )
Some Porsche too ( 911, 914-6, 924, 928, 944, 968 )
having a little thing for the BMW M products ( 3,4,5, ) and 635 CSI
there is a lot more, but the more i look into the automobile history, the more i find that i'd love to own so i beter stop here before writing something with more pages that a Stephen King book
last ones before i stop
so little sports cars might think twice and back up to 2 feet instead of one from my rear bumper..
First car i bought in Gran Turismo 1-5 until GT6 forced me to buy a Honda Fit ( or Jazz, don't remember ) as first car....
and finally, had a car that was itself a nice little dream for 10 years...
Mine was like this one except for tinted windows and mirrors were black...and i had a sunroof....missing it everyday ( not only sunroof, whole car ! )
i could do this differently, nicely done with links and everything but i'd still be here by summer and still there would be some cars that i forgot so it would be kind of neverending post...

^ Nice. I like the T-top Cutlass Supreme.
Some more cars I'd like to own:
1971-76 and 1977-79 Buick LeSabre's
Some fairly ordinary-for-their-time blue-collar cars:
1981-ish Datsun 210
1978-80 Ford Fairmont/Mercury Zephyr
1978-79 Toyota Celica
1979-82 Ford LTD Country Squire (if I ever needed a station wagon)
