 You often hear about “the one that got away” — a car or truck that somebody once owned that they regret selling. I don’t actually have one of those. The closest may be my Rambler, but it had reached the end of its useful life when I sold it and required major, economically prohibitive rust repair to go any further. It is awaiting this with its current owner now.
What I do have is a “what if” car. When I first decided to get a cheap, old car to play with (as opposed to the ’68 Camaro convertible that was my first old car and was more of a “collector car”), I had fairly broad requirements: four doors, $3,500 or less, and old enough to wear wide whitewalls. That ultimately led to me getting a 1961 Ford Falcon Futura and an involvement with ’60s compacts that only recently ended — or went on hiatus, since one of my daughters was mighty unhappy when I sold my ’62 Falcon recently.
A “what if” car is one that might have changed your trajectory as a hobbyist entirely
So, what is your what if car? Or what would it be?
