    The odd standout in that group is the very out of place looking 1964 Olds Cutlass-an exact twin to my first car!

    Think it's later than that? 70?


    Nice collection of cars although I know a few people that would require some restraining if they ever met the owner. Either take care of them or sell them off. Just letting them sit there and rot away is ....

    I noticed that Cutlass too and thought it was out-of-place in the collection. Have to agree with Codger... I think that's an early 70's Oldsmobile. Wait, let me ask my father... :D

    Hey Kids,

    SeaEric is right, there is a black Cutlass 1964, next to a greenish 1975.

    There is also a Pontiac 1953 there, plus all of my favorite Alfas and Lancias...

    I guess you are too young Carl...:D

    Just looked at the picture again. If that's a Cutlass hiding behind the 70's era Cutlass... I'm on my knees in praise! You guys are good.

    All three cars I mentioned could be one year later, but without more pictures it is hard to tell since it is mainly some chrome details that differs...

    In photo 18 13:24 there is a red truck on the right with a rusty mirror. To the left, in front of a blue trailer, there is the stern of a black 1964 Olds Cutlass with it's bow toward the wall. You can only see the back of the car and the rear window. Trust me; That's what it is. You only have ONE first car, and one just like that was mine.

    2 photos later, 18 13:26 is the other newer vintage Cutlass, also black but with a vinyl roof, curiously sitting right next to the subject 1964 Cutlass. The newer car was not visible in the earlier shot.

    Wish I'd been first to find the door key.
    The 356 and the 240Z would be my first picks.. even though the shock towers on the Z were already, probably, swiss cheese.

    I'd take the 356 and the Lotus Europa and Elan.
