Haven't found anything from 1943 yet.

Can someone help me out ?????????????????

Rick's 1943 Cadillac

I almost posted links to military vehicles. I guess automobile production actually ceased for the 1943-1945 model years. Don't know for sure, despite what some people think, I wasn't here yet!

This is my birth year vehicle, I would say definitely a classic... :classic:

1959

The first Datsun hit the docks in Long Beach.

The Caddy fins reached their apex

In the South, Former Shiners were racing Olds engines in Chevy bodies and calling them "stock"

A young blond girl took her first ride in her Triumph TR3.

Chrysler was pounding the salt flats ith thier 300

How could I choose?

I was born on 20 September 1970 and besides the obvious 240Z this remains one of my favorites from '70:

Here's some of mine. 1967 is the year.

BTW,

I am still pissed because Jimmi Hendrix died two days before I was born! As if that wasn't bad enough Jim Morrison dies within a year of Sept. 1970.

Sorry, I can't seem to find any horse and buggy pix to post.

AAAWWWWW, Gee Carl,

Thanks for the helping hand good buddy. I'm suitably impressed and greatly honoured to think you went to all that trouble just for me.

That is EXACTLY what I'd like to be driving next time I travel to Brisbane and get caught up in the traffic.

There ya go Lachlan, a REAL Yank Tank, courtesy of Carl.
