How about a 1949-1950 Merc or a 1955-1957 Chevy ( Tri 5 era chevys ) or even, a 1941-1950 Dodge, plymouth or chrysler or even maby, if you can get lucky and streach the bank a lot and find a Chrysler Airflow.

what about a 70 charger or challenger the old pickup would be cool say 30,40,50's they look pretty good i would go with a dodge myself if i was goin to put a dodge engine init
