So what car is next on your collection list, fantasy or next to add list? Mine is 1956 Lincoln Premiere convertible or 1957 Cadillac Coupe Deville. Gary

Fantasy? Skies the limit? Oh where to start...maybe an SJ Duesenberg or Jaguar XKSS or...

More practically I'd like a late-'80's shark-nosed Dinan tuned BMW M6, red with tan interior.

Fantasy would be an Aston Martin Rapide.
Still hoping to have a Mark II some day.

If I had a fantasy collection of prime cars there would also be a collection of the cars, at which the population has made light. Pacers, Gremlins, pintos etc. Not because I'm making fun of them still. Just because they too have added to automotive history.
Help me here with any others. :)

Years ago (obviously) I had the honor of being a guest for several days at Buddy Holiday's Ranch in Apple Valley, CA. Buddy owned a Kaiser Darian which had been owned by Rita Haworth. I want to add that car to my Fantasy Collection.

Hi Rick. 58 Brougham is after my 57 Coupe De Ville. It was a struggle for me to choose but my family had a 57 Coupe De Ville so I had some experience driving one so could relate better but that Brougham is something else. Gary

Pat, Had to go look'n for that one. Hey, it could probably fall into both my catagories :D

Thanks Chuck. So that's what it looks like. I saw a photograph of a similiar one that was a 54 or 54 called a Gia or something like that owned by Sinatra. Not a Karmen Gia (phonetic)) seen later. Maybe the same model of car but not sure. Gary

Chuck - If you're going that route, you better have a Mustang II. Probably the most embarrassing sequel ever produced. Besides, it shares the nice tie-in with the Mark II. Barry has the "Continentals" nailed down, maybe you could start a collection of all the "IIs"?

How about the LTD II and it's upscale brother the "Elite" (I had one of those as a driver and the II as a patrol car. Miserable vehicles IMO

Doc - Right on the money! Add Bronco II to that list II :)
