Can't pick just one, I like them both.

I think Merle could probably afford both choices using pocket change.

George, what is it about the 69 that puts you off? I'm not being critical here as of course its your opinion, but I am curious. I was stunned by this car's beauty when I first saw it and still feel that way all these years later. I drove one a fair bit, including a trip from Arizona to Canada and loved its comfort and performance as well.

Tough one. Gotta go with the '56 although that '69 is a beauty, too.

Umm, that's up for debate..Gas is now over $3 a gallon. How was the MPG for that Continental ?

And Jack, kudos to you for getting that tie-in. BTW, were you a 'smart alec' in high school ?
