    Ho leeeeeee shit.

    I've had and seen some close calls. Got in a wrecked Sante Fe. Drove it a bit and let off the gas and it kept going. Engine cover was knocked off. Thing took off like a bat out of hell.

    Was headed right for the mechanics stall something like that. Got it in neutral and all was good. Always rev a car before I put it in gear...now.

    The back one looks like a Pontiac. Love GTOs, LeMans and Firebirds from the 60s.

    I can't say which are is my favorites 'cause I love so many older cars.
    Firebirds;
    GTOs;
    LeMans;
    Any Woodie;
    The Army Jeep (circa WWII through the 60s, I drove on in Vietnam in 1968);
    Late 50s Oldsmobile;
    1955 through 1963 Chevrolets, i.e. Impala, Biscayne and Bel Air;
    1960s VWs, bugs, vans and Karman Ghias;
    Any Corvette from inception to now;
    Any Thunderbird from inception through the porthole window in the back;
    Checkers;
    I liked the De Sotos with the push botton gear shift for some odd reason;
    The early 60s Ford Galaxy;
    The Porches of the 60s;
    The old Rolls Royce and I'm thinking of the one in the movie 1954 Sabrina with Humphrey Bogart, William Holden and Audrey Hepburn;
    The Bentley driven by James Bond in the book;
    Any Aston Martin;
    Any Ferrari;
    Any Lamborghini;
    Any Volvo;
    The Austin Healys of the 50s;
    The bug eye Sprite;
    The MGs of the 50s;
    The Triumph sports cars of the 50s;
    The older Morgan roadster;
    Any of the late 60s Camaros especially the Z28.

    If I thought about it longer I could probably come up with other favorites.

    Oh yeah, I loved those old German Mercedes military staff cars in WWII.

    I suspect you mean the Ford Galaxie.

    The Ford Galaxy was a minivan they sold in Europe since the mid 90s.

    FWIW - My father had a '63 Galaxie sedan - I spent a lot of my childhood in the back seat of that boat.

    ...also had 3 Triumph TR6s ('69, '71, '75)

    Also loved, the 58 Austin Healy and the bug eye sprite.

    ...my first Triumph was a Spitfire...(not much more than a go cart but was fun to drive...also made a horrible mistake of buying a TR7....(horrible design)

    ...but the TR6s (especially the '69) were great cars and a blast to drive and I still miss that throaty exhaust sound...always wanted an Austin Healy 3000.
