I've seen a lot of beautiful car photos posted on this website - some owned by their posters and some merely admired. I'm not wealthy by any stretch. I own a 1991 Plymouth Duster in candy red and won't plan on buyer a new car anytime soon.
Still, I've been working hard to one day own a car I will love to drive every day and is within my budget.
That brings me to a car I'm interested in pursuing one day: The latest Thunderbird, from Ford.
It maintains the aesthetic qualities of the 1950's that I love so much, while being modern (2000-2005) and thus easier to maintain and find parts for. Many have removable hard tops (love!) and an automatic transmission that can shift into a manual mode. It maintains a 3.9 liter V8 engine. I feel the price is something I can strive for. They go from $10,000-$20,000.
It's not a true vintage beauty, as many of the cars you guys show are - but it's an affordable way to maintain that spirit.
Do you guys have opinions on the car choice? I'm very open to criticism/advice.
