    Dream Vehicles

    While answering Ron's thread about what's on my desktop, I had to respond that it was a couple of my dream vehicles. That got me to wondering what everyones dream vehicles would be. To get it rolling, I'll post what my ultimate fleet would consist of.

    2008 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic

    2008 Dodge Ram 3500 (Crew Cab, Full 8 foot bed, dually)

    2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid (I am so stoked that there's finally a hybrid SUV coming out.)

    1968 Cadillac Sedan DeVille (I was lucky enough to have one as a teenager, and I'd love to have another.)

    2008 Dodge Zeo Concept (An all electric vehicle that does 0-60 in 6 seconds with a cruising range of 250 miles. Who could ask for more. It looks cool too.)

    Last, but certainly not least is a Sportsmobile conversion of a long wheelbase/extended body Dodge Sprinter. Set up as a mobile office with mobile satellite internet. That way I could head for the hills and still get on xmarks when I felt like it.

    So you don't have to limit yourself to the number I've posted, more or less is fine, but I'd love to know what your dream vehicles are.

    I've already managed to own a few of my dream vehicles, like the 1923 Ford T-Bucket roadster and 1948 Chevy chopped-top custom 1/2 ton truck.

    Then there are cars I'd like to get some day, such as a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe, a channelled and fenderless 1932 Ford roadster, a chopped 1934 Ford 3-window coupe, etc, etc, etc. I could go on forever.
    So many cars, so little $$ and garage space.

    I think you meant '47 Knuckle right? (last year of the Knucklehead)
    '57 is the last year of the rigid framed panhead.

    For me:
    I'm looking for an old iron head (pre-1970) H-D mill for my pachuco-lowrider chopper project, but otherwise --

    1954-57 Chev Sedan Delivery Wagon
    1953-54 Chev 2-door

    1950-54 Chev P.U. (short bed)

    1968 Super Bee w/ 440 Police Interceptor & 6 pack

    Bobbed 1953 Indian Chief

    Build up my 1972 Triumph T140 (750cc) motor into a 60's style Rocker cafe

    and find a clone of my first car, 1969 Buick Skylark Custom Coupe (one step below the GS package) & do what I always dreamed, drop a 455 GSX motor / 4 speed tranny & 10-bolt posi rear end into it

    That'll do me for now

    Despite the fact it'd look ridiculous rolling around Edinburgh mine would be a big nasty 4x4/SUV type thing...... That or a sports car!
