Back in 1967, when I was an 11 year old kid, some of my favorite car magazines were Motor Trend and Car and Driver and one car I wished I could drive/own was the 1967 Plymouth Barracuda. Oh well, I've never even driven one.  :P

The 1949 Ford Tudor was the first post-World War 2 Ford with completely new style and technology.  :)

This little car was in Vienna, Austria, but I don't know which one it is. This is from 12 years ago. ??? ::)

I remember its horn would go "Meep Meep" when you used it just like the Luney Toons Roadrunner character. I love that character, and the car brings great memories.  :)

Back in 1964, I got to see my first James Bond movie, Goldfinger, starring the best of all James Bond characters, Sean Connery, and I was almost 8 years old when I saw it. It had two great cars in the movie, a 1964 Mustang but the real star was the Aston Martin DB5 which had a passenger seat that launched anyone trying to capture James Bond, a machine gun at the headlights, and an oil slick to make pursuing vehicles skid and crash. It was a great car.  :)

  That little car is a Fiat 500 ( early 'next gen' )..... Don't know if you have the current version in the U.S. ?? It's a major competitor to the current 'Mini' .

Years ago, my father told me that one of the favorite cars that he wanted when he was a boy back in the 1930's was a Duesenberg. Of course, his family couldn't afford it.  :)
