Your Parent's Coolest Car?

For mine that would be a 1964 Ford Thunderbird. Red with white leather interior. Slide away steering wheel & bucket seats. The big ass V8 was all that. What did your dad have while you were growing up?

 

Black/Tan 1985 Porsche 944 with black rims

 

Red '69 911

Before that there was a Hugger Orange 396SS El Camino, '60 356, '55 Chevy 210, Camaros, Mustangs, etc. My parents actually met when they were cruising Van Nuys blvd in the early 70's, but they told their parents that they met at the library.

 

She wanted to know what cars your parent's had when you were growing up, not your life story...

 

91 Legend.

Thing was tank! Oh some stories...

 

Whatever. I'm bored and waiting for G to show up so that we can meet up with Darth and Vincent.

 

kick darth in the nuts for me

 

Nothing that exciting. I do remember a maroon Mercury. The one that had the reverse rear window that would go and down. I remember thinking that was cool.

 

1962 FORD Comet 2 dr. convertible with a V8......yellow on white.....

 

Black on Black '58 Cad 4 door.

 

80's Accord. Man that thing was the shiat.

 

1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible (white)- grandfather

1964 Ford Thunderbird (Black)- Mom


My father never owned anything exciting or fun, he's not a car person.

 

'75 Triumph Spitfire (Dads). Still have it, except i drive it now Dad also had a Morris 1000 but that was scrapped a long time ago. Mum had a mini (a real mini).

 

My parents never had a 'cool' car, but they always bought new. No frills on any of them! No AC, etc.

'66 Chevelle 2 dr 6 cy 3 on the tree, no radio
'72 Nova 2 dr 6 cy, 3 on the tree, Had a radio!
'77 Granada again, 6 cy, radio AT ( The AT was a Big step for dad!)

Maybe that's why I like cars so much. My parents always bought 'basic' transportation.

 

Lambo Urraco. They still have it.

 

1993 cadillac allante! I loved that car when he first got it and wish he would have held on to it. My mom's coolest is probably her current G500.

512 BBi

 

What??

 

My Dad had a V12 E-type but changed to an XJ6 when my Brother and Sister came along.

 

1986 BMW M6, Recaro seats with 4 point belts( My mother hated those).

 

only the 512? I doubt that..

 

MY PARENTS HAD A LATE 60S OR EARLY 70S CHRYSLER NEWPORT WITH THE PUSH BUTTON TRANSMISSION

ANY OF US OLD FOLK REMEMBER THOSE??


ALSO, MY PARENTS BOUGHT A BUICK ELECTRA 225 , I BELIEVE IN THE EARLY 70S THAT CAME WITH A DELCO AM-FM RADIO...MOST CARS TILL THEN WERE AM RADIOS ONLY.....

 

thread title says "the coolest" ... not "all the cool cars" ... good thing, or he'd still be typing!!! LOL

 

1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Blue with white interior and white top. 500 cubic inches of pure torque that could make the front wheels spin...a real novelty in the '70's. Drove that car to my prom!
