Favorite classic automobile.

If you could own one of the classic cars, which one would it be? For me it would be the candy apple red 1957 Ford Thunderbird shown in this movie clip from "Good luck Chuck".

It looked great in my neighbor’s driveway until it was stolen. Then my neighbor bought a Dodge Omni - and the view sucked.

However there are 2 Corvette roadsters that I'd like for my roadster itch:
1) The red & white 1959 Corvette that "Otter" drove in the Animal House movie classic. I'll take Mandy and Babs (the later was a Playboy Playmate), but punt on the knuckle sandwich from the Delta bros.
2) The red 1964 Corvette that William Hurt drove. I'd definitely take the 1981 vintage Kathleen Turner with it.

The only old car I have an attraction to is the '79 6.6L Transam - '79 was the year I came from Cuba and the TAs were very popular back-then and I thought it was a sexy/cool car - coming from Cuba at that time (no internet; no foreigners; etc) meant everything in the U.S. was completely new to me (simple things like a shopping-cart; Coca Cola; etc; I had never seen b/f nor knew existed) so just about everything in the U.S. was exciting for me (and my brother) and brand-new - the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" def added to the TA's cool factor for me:

I grew up loving the 89 Nissan 240SX and the 89 Toyota Supra.
Honorable mention: 90 Ford Mustang GT and 90 BMW 320i

Now, if you guys are willing to go back a bit further, then either a '37 Cord or a '37 Duesenberg would do me nicely!
Any of the above would be babe magnets.😎

Of the cars I've ridden in, either the '59 Corvette a neighbor guy had, or the 68 Corvette (w/ the L88 motor). The '68 was hopped up (even more over stock) and brutally fast. I spent about 1 second in it going over 3 miles a minute.
