Oh the cars I should have kept.......

I miss my '73 4-door, /6 Dart the most, I think. Bench seat, column shift, poverty caps on steelies. Leaked a bit into the trunk from the rear window and the driver's side of the bench was beat to smithereens. Never left me stranded, though.

Then there was the '71 Coronet wagon. Beastly. Learned to drive in the snow in that thing. I inherited that after my mom wanted something smaller to drive.

And the '70 Fury III. That was an ex-NYPD detective's car. My buddy's dad happened to be that NYC detective, and he got it when the department auctioned it off. Years later, after faithfully serving as the family hauler, he passed it on for me. Cheap. As in, free. Thankfully gas was still only .75/gallon.

Had a '73 Newport in there too. Don't miss that as much since I didn't have it for long, but I'd drive the hell out of it if I had it now.
