Dream car garage...

[A Horse With No Name]

Rules for this one are simple....5 choices....but must be five different decades.  Must be generally recognizable as a luxury car.  A lotus Elise does not qualify.

That's all she wrote for rules.  A decade is 1960-1969, 1970-1979, etc...

Interested to see what you all come up with.

[Frisky Dingo]

Very cool one. Should be fun. And different.

@A Horse With No Name

Can they be lux GT's?

[Frisky Dingo]

2010 + : Continental GTC- I absolutely adore these cars, so easy choice. My topless driver's car of the group.

 

2000's:  2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio- Because just look at it.

 

90's: BMW E38 750- Greatest 7 Series ever made.

 

80's: 1989 Lexus LS400- At the time, nothing else was even close. A total game-changer.

 

70's: Lamborghini Jarama- This is a luxo GT coupe, so I firmly believe it should count.

[A Horse With No Name]

Luxury GT coupes absolutely count!

All of your selections were off the charts good...but that Jag of all things is pure automotive Lust for me!

[Drew Dowdell]

In the spirit of the challenge, I am limiting myself to just brands that are beyond any doubt a luxury brand.... otherwise I just keep posting pictures of the '66 Toronado.

 

1920s:

1929 Duesenberg

1930s:

Cord 812

1950s

The '57 Eldorado Brougham

1960s:

1967 Eldorado (Surprise! )

 

1980s

1985 Cadillac Seville (this exact color combo)

If a 6th car was allowed, I'd go with a '77 Lincoln Mark V

That Eldorado is just drop dead gorgeous.  Love the photography in that shot also!

Cord is the one I would most want to own of that bunch.

Very fond memories of that era of Lincoln also.

The 67 was by far the best.  I am a sucker for cars of the era like the Eldorado, Charger, Couger, RS Camaro, Lincoln, et al with hideaway headlights.

 

Also have a fetish for all black cars so combine the two...

[oldshurst442]

1. 1930 Cadillac Boattail  V16 (since I already chose a Duesy in the other thread and Drew chose one here)

Since seeing the Great Gatsby a several months ago, the Black and White version AND the DiCaprio one, Im REALLY into 1930s cars as of late...that is why I recently bought a 1935? Duesenberg 1:18 from Greenlight a couple of weeks ago...

 

2. 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible Biarritz (so far Drew, we very similar)

3. 1970 Lincoln Mark III

4. 1969 Cadillac Coupe Deville

 

5. Bentley Mulsanne Speed

[A Horse With No Name]

Love all of your choices but especially the Bentley.

Seems like it would be an enjoyable party.

[A Horse With No Name]

My list...

1920's-1930's-blower Bentley, 55 built-5 racing cars, 50 homologation cars...

 

1950's, Gull wing Mercedes....

 

 

1960's Iso Grifo.....even comes with GM power!

 

1970's, bicentennial Cadillac convertible, one of the last 200 full size Cadillac convertibles made...

 

I love the Jag F type, but it kind of has been over done in the Dream car garage series...picking an AMG GT S instead...

E39 550i (90's

We used to Have Alfa guys bring out Alfa Sedans similar to that to our local autocrosses....that brings back amazing memories for me actually.

@A Horse With No Name I feel like your list is really pushing the boundaries of 'luxury cars', lol. 

 

And here I was feeling bad about my Jarama pick. I had a 64 Continental on standby if it didn't work.

It probably is...but it is against my DNA somehow to buy or love a normal car.
