Dream cars from 1934 to 1970

The problem with the Excalibur is that I KNOW it's modern.  Takes all the fun out of it.

[von der Tann]

I could see the Shadow driving one of these! If I could get one in 1:1 scale I'd have to dress like The Shadow I think!

I'd be happy to have one in 1/43 or 1/48.

"Modern" is 34 years old ...

I do like that Eldorado, I'd love to drive that but it wouldn't fit in some the country lanes and villages round yer!

I don't know if it's my dream vehicle, but I fell in love with my motorbike (an '86 BMW K75c) and I hope to keep it for as long as I can!

Good man! And it is a classic

I can't help it the Oldsmobile Golden Rocket. Best car I had was a 1983 VW GTI...oooh fast. Dreamcar 1972 Buick Riviera Boattail Coupe,sleek lines and whitewall tires.

Some lovely motors! 

Outside of the era in the OP but I always thought this was a great car for gaming:
The "Beast of Turin" 1910 Fiat Tipo S76 built around a 28.4L airship engine. Smell the rubber burn!

Good lord what a monster.

The fact that the drivetrain appears to be barely one step above that of a bicycle might be more terrifying than the sheer size though!

EDIT: It's 28 L and only FOUR CYLINDERS!?! What's it take to start that thing? A Coffman starter firing 75mm shells?!

[juergen c. olk]

The Beast is awesome! Looks like a fifty- fifty deal if the car or driver dies first.

1939 Duesenberg Coupe Simone 1-built never delivered

[FramFramson]

That's a doosie!

[Prof. Dinglebat. Phd.]

The happy couple have acquired another 'Dream' car. 1937 Cord 812.  

[juergen c. olk]

Great car the Cord w/ a very powerful engine.

[Too Bo Coo]

I want a VW Thing or a Kubelwagon.  My 'dreams' are modest...

[juergen c. olk]

This car is the 1974 "Highway Aircraft Corp.-Fascination", 4 cylinder three built here in Sydney Nebraska. I met the owner /designer /manufactor in 1974 at the Westroads mall here in Omaha. I forgot all about this car.
