None except for the Ford GT. Even then it probably wouldn't be my choice when choosing a car from that segment/range. I like more the flair of the Italians/class of the Germans than the pure muscle of the Americans.

well they are:
1.mustang gt 2007
2.viper srt/10
3.ford shelby 500 gt
4.chevy corvette z06

I feel that American cars were really good until the fuel shortage after which its gone downhill. The cars of the 50s were mad and thats wht I like about them. I feel that the Americans cant make any desirable cars that are small and efficient and smart. Theyre good at extravagance.

The american cars which I really love are

1. 1959 Cadillac Eldorado



You have to love those crazy tailfins which were a product of Cadillac trying to outfin Chevrolet and Lincoln. This car was so long you could fit a couple of 800s along its length.The 59 models had the craziest tailfin design



Id really like to buy one of these one day. Any idea if any exist in India

2. Ford Mustang



Just love the old ones espeically the shelby 500s. They really have character and some of this can even be seen on the newer models. Again the mustangs made before the fuel shortage were awesome though the ones made after tht were jsut crap except the current one maybe



3. GM Futureline

These buses were used in the GM promotional tours. only 12 were made out of which 9 have been traced and 2 have been used to restore 7 of the 9 traced. One recently sold for $4.5 million at an auction recently. I just love the styling on them



4. H2

Even though people say its a crap car you cant deny the fact that its got characted and I actuallly like it more than the H1



The other cars that I really like are the American muscle cars like the Pontiac GTO and the Dodge Charger.

Khanak - I happen to know of a particular Caddy being restored by the garage I visit. It's been there for nearly 2 years & is nearing completion. It's the same Pink as the pic you posted & I think it's the '59 but not sure about it. Lovely thing, gotta love the looks & the pink with chrome really suits the car!!

It belongs to a prominent collector so probably will not be sold but next time you're here give me a buzz & you could get a tour of the car;)

Thanks a tonne bro, This is one car id really love to see.




You can tell if its a 59 or not by the those two rocket shaped lights on the tail. The tailfins got crazier and crazier till they reached their zentih in 1959 after which the designs sobered down.

I am not into older cars..so my list is going to be short..

1. Ford GT
2. Corvette Z06
3. Dodge Viper SRT-10
4. Dodge R/T
5. Shelby GT500 (1967 and 2007)

the new Mustang !

But they are 'oh so common' in the US now ...

Jeep Cherokee..! Always

Chevy Blazer
Mercury Mountaneer
Pontiac GrandAm
Toyota Avalon

American Muscle or Ford Mustang all the way for me :). There are three things i would love to own anytime. A ferrari (good looking ones), American Muscle and Mitsubishi EVO...

If i can't get my hands on American Muscle or Mustang then corvette it is.

Dodge Viper:Before

Ford GT: Now

I love american muscle cars like the dodge charger,pontaic GTO,mustang,etc

Tesla Roadster
Ford GT
Dodge Viper (merrier if in Tomahawk form)
Chevrolet Corvette

Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Ford Mustang 428 In V8 (1967)

The Corvette Z06 as you must have noticed from my signature line.
I also like the Mustang GT and the Pontiac GTO (Holden Monaro).
