If you were a Car

[Crazy Dazz]

Car (or Significant model) must have been released in your year of birth.

I missed out by a couple of the years on being a Mustang...
So...

Jensen Interceptor (1966)

1. Sounds much cooler than it is.
2. Strange Blend of American and British Influences
3. Looks normal from the front, but ugly from the rear.
4. Difficult to Handle
5. Looks have not aged well
6. Surprisingly Powerful
7. Hopelessly Inefficient

[Charliewool]

Easy answer! 56 Customline! (Which I’ve already had)
My dream car though… is a 56 T-bird! (porthole roof model)

[minheim]

Holden FC 1958
Practical.
Australian
Competitive
Reliable
Not too flashy

[BENT_8]

Being a 76 delivery I'd be an ADR27a choked 5.8l XC Falcon Coupe.
Still desireable
Full of hot air

[aussiblue]

I'll be a 1953 Studebaker Starliner or perhaps a 1954 Corvette please although I'm actually probably more like a rusty, faded worn out old FJ Holden.

[lra]

I arrived in Australia within a couple of weeks of the 48-215 FX prototype arriving from the USA.
Some of my universal joints are in need a bit of lubrication.

[LG17]

A 1950 XK120 Jag.
Sex on wheels 75 years ago.

[rare ss]

1981 XD Fairmont Ghia ESP

Big with looks that are an acquired taste, sounds like it'll go well but in reality just not that quick at all

[jaydee]

1958, a Ford Edsel (haha, I don't think so).
1958, Ford T-bird 390 V8

[ford71V8]

1971, so an XY Falcon.
Maybe its a chromosome label, an X and a Y. *Checks, yep Male.

I left the gym / body-building to one of the boys, so I'm not a muscle car GT

Bit of grey coming through lately, so maybe a Fairmont with the extra chrome trim.

An Edsel is not a Ford, it is a distinct brand & was positioned to be more expensive than a Ford but less so than a Mercury or Lincoln.

Yes they were built by the Ford Motor Company, but you won't find a Ford badge on them anywhere or in a sales brochure.

Hmm, I can't really think of a car I find desirable from 1986.

In which case, I'd say that I'm a Jaguar XJS V12 because............

- Often temperamental and cranky
- Often broken
- Packs a punch when required
- Generous
- Tall, dark and handsome ()

[Itsme]

1956, FJ Holden, which I eventually owned one.

[Citroënbender]

I’d be an early Silver Shadow. Expensive to run, over-complicated, desirable to the eye^*, generally durable even when ragged at the edges.

^*In fact, so handsome I’m often mistaken for Cav.

[DJM83]

1983 XE ESP 5.8.
- Basic.
- Handles that wont let you in.
- Looks fast but is slow.
- Is older than it looks.

[Mont5.0]

1975 De Tomaso Pantera.

[Trevor 57]

1957 Ford Customline

why? coz it's a Ford, because it's better than a 1957 Chev and coz it's cool as ****

Yep, came under the MEL banner!

Yeah the Edsel was a fail. We loved our 59 Ranger though. They're bit of a quirky collector now in the U.S. 2 door ones look great IMO.

Some V12 6 x twin webber goodness thanks....
1960 250GT Nembo Spyder - only 3 made.

[smoo]

1987. Mercedes 560SEL.
Stoic, emotionless, starting to show my age, NFG.

[uranium_death]

I'd be a 1983 VH Starfire

Underpowered, rough and unrefined, unwanted, and perfect for leaving in a paddock to rust away somewhere. Poorly engineered, and should never have existed.

[Big_Daz]

As a 1982 Baby, I would be the VH Commodore SS Group 3.. 1982 was the first year of the SS Commodore which was a mainstay right up until 2017 when the AU Commodore died...

[None-ya]

Being a '91 model myself I would sadly go with the VN I had, only because it ended up being a month younger then me

[Syndrome]

1969 Ford Thunderbird - a bloated, boulevard cruiser which is all show and no go.

[bungarra]

1972 XAGT Falcon

[FERG_51]

1962 Falcon Sprint.

[Sar4890]

1972 Datsun 1600 Cheap,Cheerful and Thrashed

[marty351]

E-type Jag. With the V12.
