As I live on the other side of the Atlantic I did not see too many American cars on the roads over here. Seeing that the market for big guzzling cars caved in after the 1973 oil crisis, almost everyone over here drives cars that consume a liter every 100 kms. [[Figure that our in miles per gallon yourself.)

I'm from 1969. All American cars I saw were in books and magazines. One car really stood out in my mind and that was the Cord 812 Supercharged. Distinguished from regular Cords 812 by the chrome pipes coming out of the engine bay. I really wanted a car like that until common sence took over and reality set in. I haven't got the budget to own one of those design masterpieces.


But I still love it...



So my question to you, what was your dream car? And did you realize your dream of owning one?
