From the Big 3?

[knightfan26917]

If you could have one vehicle from each of the "Big 3" ... GM, Ford, Chrysler ... what would it be?

Me:

1975 Caprice Classic convertible (spring/summer/fall "fun" car)

1996 Thunderbird (summer daily driver)

2010 Ram regular cab (winter daily driver)

So many choices..

[Camino LS6]

1970 El Camino SS454 LS6 manual

Ford GT

1971 Hemicuda vert manual

I tend to dream big.

[Brougham-Holiday]

Daily driver: 2009 Cadillac XLR-V

Family Truckster: 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

Sunday Driver: 1970 Olds Delta 88 unmarked with police package.

[Drew Dowdell]

Brougham-Holiday, I don't think you understood the assignment.

[SAmadei]

GM: 1969 GTO Judge convertible.

Mopar: 1970 Plymouth Superbird.

Ford: 1973 Ford Falcon XB Coupe with the special nose.

Bonus...

1970 AMC AMX.

If I limit it to late model (last decade), here is what I would go with:

Chrysler: 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T (weekend fun)

Ford: 2011 Ford Mustang GT convertible (weekend fun, sunny weather)

GM: 2010 Cadillac CTS (commuter car)

too many choices if I include older cars.

If I expand it to what I would fill a large garage/barn with, I'd add these:

Chrysler: '06-07 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, '11 Grand Cherokee Overland

Ford: '03-10 Crown Vic PI, '03-04 Mercury Marauder, '03-08 Lincoln Town Car, '08 Mustang 'Bullitt', '06 Ford GT

GM: '09 Pontiac G8 GXP, '10 Camaro SS, '11 Caddy CTS-v coupe

All would make good daily drivers and some definitely weekend fun vehicles.

plus some oldies.

Ford GT

1971 Hemicuda vert manual

1970 El Camino SS454 LS6 manual

Now thats a rare car ...... I'd take one

[Camino LS6]

Actually, most LS6 cars were manuals. But an LS6 El Camino is hyper-rare no matter the transmission. The Caminos and the convertibles were the rarest of the LS6 pack.

Ford

Classic: 1961-65 Lincoln Continental

Modern: Ford Thunderbird "retrobird" hardtop

GM goes without saying, very many choices here

Chrysler

Modern: Chrysler Crossfire

No problem, I'll give the ROPOS to the owners of the property!

I'm tired of pushing snow anyway.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh ... Actually here I thought someone said 1970 El Camino SS454 LS6 manual not Chevelle.

[Camino LS6]

Someone did, me.

No one knows exactly how many LS6 Caminos were built. The estimates range from about 12 to a few hundred.

But some were built as manuals.

And that's what I want.

LOL!

No worries ... I like those choices.....

BTW ... changing my 3rd choice from the 2010 Ram to a Grand Cherokee! And, for the record, my 3 choices [all of which have NO connection to FWD] ... are assuming I have NO other cars. That's right ... *gasp* ... I would not have a Monte Carlo.

But I'm not sure I could limit myself to just 3 cars...lol.
