If people go along, I'd like to start a thread for each year starting in 1960 until prob 1972.

So, if we start with 1960, within the average buy's budget or a little higher, what car would you have bought and how would have you ordered/optioned it?

I was 15 in 1960, so the 1960's were the best of times for me. There wasn't much of what one would consider a "muscle car" at that time. A Corvette was out of the price range for most. Not sure what I would have bought if it were a new car, but it would have been GM. At that time most of my friends that were old enough to own a car opted for a used 55-57 Chevy, Ford, or Pontiac, better used than something new in 1960.

1962 is when it started getting interesting for me !!

Good thread Mark.
