I'm 68 years old and my favorite era of cars is 1940 to 1970. I'd be hard pressed to be able to pick out a car from the 70's on that I could get gaga over from a look and styling standpoint.

54 this year. 50s, early 60s. big American cars.

But I can appreciate almost all cars and models. I have built plastic models since 1974. Muscle cars are ok. Been through that period, Been through NASCAR - had nearly 200 plastic NASCAR models - sold them all. Right now, I like the big boats. Give me a Pontiac, Olds, or a Buick and I'm happy. I am supposed to be a Mopar guy though. And I'm a cheapskate, so my diecasts are almost always bought below the "comp" price. Exception is the Hirohata Merc. Also love 50s Kustoms.

I'm 71, started driving in 1964. Not surprisingy, my favorite era spans the late 50's thru the early 70's. My first brand new car was a '69 Plymouth Roadrunner. In addition to it I later owned 3 more! Still trying to figure out a way to get one more before I get too decrepit!

I'm 85 - I favor cars from the 1930's, 40's and 50's but have models from 1899 (Packard) to 2016 (Tesla.) I really admire the Full Classics from 1925 to 1948. My 1:1 cars range from 1938 to 2013.

Now, ladies never like to answer age questions....

...However, I'm not a typical "lady." Ha ha ha. I'm a 69 youngster, and my fave era has to be 50s and 60s.
