Glad you like the Monte Carlo SS.
My choice is easy, '54 Corvette.

Well since I was born in 81 the car companies were producing some pretty crappy cars. I guess the Chevy Truck was probably the best vehicle.

Wow, not a lot to choose from in 1979. Probably a Trans Am or a Ferrari 308 GTB in Fly Yellow.

1974 was good for the Lancia Stratos and it was the only year the Datsun 260z was sold in the U.S.
