If I did not have my '47 Clipper, let's see, , , , I would have a couple of more vintage electric guitars in my collection , , , but wait, , this is an automotive message board, so I will say a 1954 Ford Skyliner coupe w/V8. That model has a hardtop "green sunglasses" roof, which is really fun to drive. I drove my brother's '54 Ford V8 while he cashed-in on the all-expenses paid trip to Vietnam that he won from Uncle Sam in 1969.

It was a FUN car to drive and easy to maintain, and it's one that I could afford then & now.

If we are just waving a magic wand, then I would go for a 1948 Tucker. ;o)

I will stick with my '47 Packard revitalization, although I wish my baby was working with eight cylinders.

Best regards,
