What would you pick?
"What three cars would you pick if you could have any three cars in the world?"
I just got a car magazine today. There was an interesting column in it with the above subject. The guide lines were. No.1 You could pick any three cars in the infinite world of cars. No.2 They must remain in your possession until you die. No.3 You can never sell them or will them to your heirs. I picked No.1 A really nice 1940 Ford Tudor Deluxe with all the things it should have. No.2 A 2008 Mercury Gran Marquis with the 150 mph Cop Car engine No.3 A 1963 Ford Galaxie Convertible with a Big Block FE Engine and Four Speed Transmission. |

Re: What would you pick?
Man, thats a tough question for a car guy. I think my first two would be Fords, a 32 3 window coupe and a 39 Deluxe coupe. The third would be a 58-62 Corvette. But knowing me, these choices would change with the seasons.

Re: What would you pick?
I guess I lack imagination. I'd take the 52 and 53 Mercs I already have, but with a full restoration. Then I'd add a 52 Lincoln Capri convertible. Rare and so similar to my Mercs.

Re: What would you pick?
You guys are right on about the GT40 being on the list and I'd probably have to go with a '36 Ford roadster and a 1970 Hemi Barracuda convertible.

Re: What would you pick?
Brendan,
I like your second choice of a Mercury Marauder; I had a couple of them and they were great cars. An old friend of mine put one of those engines in a '57 Ranchero. |

Re: What would you pick?
So nobody has a desire for a 37 passenger car of any kind... Except me. Oh well.. I will be the odd man out and choose my 37 cabriolet which will never be sold. Followed by my old 63 1/2 Galaxie XL 500 427 4 speed. My last pick would be a 68 Corvette 427 tri power with a 4 speed.
