Those Classic Cars.

[DRG]

All the members here share the same love of this Hobby. But we all have different tastes, different likes.

There are certain cars that are just simply timeless in my opinion.

1927 Model T

1932 Five Window Coupe

1940 Ford Coupe

1949 Mercury

1941 Willy's

1950 Ford

1955/56/57/59 Chevy

1956 Ford.

These are just some of what I consider the best cars ever built, from a performance and styling view point.

What are YOUR classics??

'39 Chevy

'48 Tucker : Oh what this company could have been.

'49 Mercury

'54 Buick

'55 Chevy : Could be the most noted classic car.

'59 Edsel : Always think of this one first.

'59 Ford retractable hard top

'66 Chevelle

'69 Chevelle

It's interesting when researching cars for paint schemes, how a person can learn SO MUCH extra about information. Before I started researching my builds I have NO IDEA of the different paint combinations.

Now I know of Sport-tone, Spring-tone, Tri-tone, Flo-tone. Now I can tell the difference between a '55 and '56 Pontiac. As well as the difference between a '58 and '59 Mercury.

Yes !!! Cars are an awesome artwork
