Your Favorite Car from Your Birth Year

[drakkie]

I never understood Saabs, but I like your choice in the BMW.

Drive one and you'll understand I never really liked Saab's until I drove some of them myself. They are just so well put together and have so much character!!

As a former Saab owner and born in the same year as Revo I can't fault his selections at all

[kingofthering]

Exited (well, more like cut out) of the womb in 1991 so torn between mostly group A cars:

1. Skyline GT-R
2. E30 M3.
3. Delta Integrale
4. Legacy RS-R type-RA.

I also wouldn't say no to a F40 either. But if it were MY money, it would either be a M3 or a Legacy.

I have to go for a car that I admired as a wee lad: Countach 5000QV.

To hell with May saying never met your heros.

I played with a red Countach Hot Wheels car at my Nana's apartment when I was young.

The 80s and Lamborghini perfectly captured.

1987 Porsche 959. Had a remote controlled one that I can remember playing with as early as age 3-4. Only problem was that there was a cord running from the control to the Porsche, so you had to follow it around. Nevertheless, it made a lasting impression on me and I have a soft spot for the car. The car is still in my possession to this day.

I'm undecided between those three.

1977 was a great year.

Those are really one of the best cars...amazing cars...

1977 wasn't so great of a year for American cars...
- The muscle car was dead.
- GM cars were downsized.
- Reliability was not as good as the '60s/early '70s.
- More plastic added each year.

Well, that can only support my statement here.

GM struck gold with redesigned B-body back in 1977. It was exactly what customers needed and wanted, can't argue with that.

1992 Cadillac Seville



20 years old and still looks better than anything Daewoo, Kia, Daihatsu etc can bring out.

I dare to disagree with that.

[RacingManiac]

1983....I think 956 is actualy from 1982....83 though was the year they finished 9 out of top 10 places at Le Mans...

Interesting thread. However, I can't participate because I was born in 1943. But I like the entries non-the-less.

[pimento]

Well there's this one, which is rather nice.

[Savageduck]

1949 was an odd year, but here is a short list of four which deserve honorable mention for my birth year favorites wish list;
1949 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta
1949 Cisitalia Arbath 204
1949 Jaguar XK120
1949 Mercedez-Benz 170S Cabriolet
