To see these again...

Cars I want to see and touch and listen to one more time.

Ford Maverick.

Ford Pinto.

1964 Dodge Utiline pickup like my father had.

1980 VW Scirocco, the first car I bought entirely with money I earned.

A 1977 Porsche 924, which cost more than my Scirocco but didn’t handle all that much better.

1955 Chevy… a real one, not a show car. Preferably green.

AMC Pacer

AMC Gremlin

Buick SkyHawk (a twin to the Chevy Monza; I almost bought one back in 1976)

A school bus from the late 1960s or early 1970s, a Superior body like the ones I used to ride…

Any GMC or Ford semi trucks from the mid-to-late 1950s and early 1960s.

And a 1976 Ford Mustang II hatchback, four cylinder, automatic transmission... my first car...

There may be others, but I can’t think of them right now.
