Re: number 1?

First love... that is hard to not to be your best ever car... FREEDOM

Mine was a 1974 Monte Carlo...

My 02 Bird is next and have already owned it longer than any other car I ever bought...

My third choice would be my 1975 Triumph motorcycle that I bought new and chopped..

Re: number 1?

2002 Thunderbird - Black, black, and more black -nice to presently own the one you loved best
1960 Thunderbird - RED convertable, "E-5 and above, no money down" Ft Benning
1990 Jaguar XJ40 - BRG - what a ride, made my comute in LA traffic a joy
1952 MG TD - BRG - lots of miles, drove cross country twice.
1953 Ford - Blue - customline coupe with a V8 stick on the tree, my first car
1956 Ford Victoria - Salmon and black - not a crown Vic, Thunderbird V8
1949 MG TC - Yellow, lots of mechanical troubles, nice to look at
1990 Cadilac Alante - RED, best paint job ever, always breaking something expensive.
1979 Camaro Berlinetta - Bronze, pretty but not very fast, T tops a pain to take off and store
1999 - Mazda Miata - BRG . very reliable, dangerously slow on the freeway and invisible
1963 Falcon - RED Convertable - another DOG with crappy suspension

Re: number 1?

Hey, justjon.

My first car also was a blue 53 Ford, flathead, three on the tree, but mine was (unfortunately) a 4 dr.

It was the only car I ever sold for a profit. Paid $250 in Dec 1959, sold it June 1960 for $275.

Re: number 1?

This is a fun thread. There are a couple of cars listed that I would have loved to have owned and driven back in the days- 1976 Trans Am and 1969 AMX. I'm fortunate I didn't, I probably would have wrapped it around a tree. Speed kills when you're young and fearless. The 280Z was more than enough for me with only 180 hp, I had some close calls in it.

Re: number 1?

Here it is in a nutshell:

I love my '02 Thunderbird to the point of distraction! I have wanted a two-seater Thunderbird since I was nine years old. It is number one in my heart and always will be.

There. I said it, and I'm glad.

Re: number 1?

Wish I could say the 02 bird is #1, but it's #2 behind the 58 Chevy Impala Convertible, my first car bought after college graduation.

[0bird2]

Re: number 1?

Guess I'll speak up;
1. '57 T-Bird
2. '02 F-150 Lightning (lot's of POWER!!)
3. '05 T-Bird
4. '57 Ranchero, 6 cyl, O/D, dependable truck.
5. '02 T-Bird
6. '57 Fairlane 500, Inca Gold and Silver Mocha, O/D.

I wish I had the Ranchero and the Fairlane now...I still have all the others.

Re: number 1?

How could I have forgotten the Mustangs???
1990 LX 5.0 convertable, special editon, White, white, white with aftermarket ground effects ... sharp
1987 LX 5.0 convertable, white red interior,ate Gatorback tires for breakfast
1965 289 convertable, 4 on the floor - Maroon - tire squeeler
1966 289 convertable, auto - dark blue the most civilized one
1965 mileage maker 6, White convertable, three on the tree, more fun then you'd think

these fit in my list between the TC and the Allante in this order.

Re: number 1?

For sheer looks, my first car, a 59 Impala 2 door hardtop.
For general all-day driving, our 2000 Tahoe.
For fun-fun-fun, our 1965 Thunderbird convertible. This used to be our vacation car and has been the means to introduce us to all our Thunderbirding friends. Now it's the 05 Thunderbird. Much more reliable for the cross-country traveling that we do.
