The question was asked: If you could have any car ever made for Christmas, what would it be? Why?
A bunch of you answered, and here are several of those:
Brian E.
“Just one? It would have to be an early Camaro Z/28 with a Muncie 4 speed. Why? It is my unicorn car. I actually have bought one once, and the guy took my money and ran. It wasn’t even his car! I have been a day late or a dollar short at least 4 other times. It is very frustrating!”
…
Paul W.
“A black Chevelle SS with white stripes and a cowl induction hood. It would also have an M-22 four-speed transmission and 3.73 gears in its 12-bolt posi rear.”
…
Chris C.
“A first-gen Mustang, so I could give it to my grandmother for Christmas. She had one but had to sell it, and she tells me all the time she wishes she never got rid of it.”
…
Mark S.
“Plymouth 4-speed Roadrunner like the one I had in high school.”
…
Keenan J.
“A ’64 Thunderbolt. I’m a diehard Chevy guy but a Ford Thunderbolt takes the cake.”
…
Matt
“A split-window 427 as pro touring as I could get it and still be driveable every day.”
…
Nick A.
“1967 Mercury Comet 202 R code because I love those overlooked sleepers. A 427 4-speed with a 3.90 rear end and plain interior and steel wheels.”
…
Craig C.
“A 1965 Impala like Dad used to have.”
…
Brandan E.
“A ’73 Chevelle SS 454 4 speed. I had a ’73 Chevelle and I miss it like crazy. It’s something you don’t see all the time.”
…
Rick C.
“Eleanor is what I would want for Christmas.”
I’ll take a 70 GTO Judge convertible with a 455HO turbo 400.12bolt rearend and ram air!

I was shocked and tickled at the same time. I was messing with Google image search and up came our 1968 Impala convertible! This picture was taken in 2021 at the Hot Rod Power Tour in Dayton Ohio. My wife and I are in the background enjoying the shade after a hot and humid car trip from Norwalk Ohio in a non-A/C car (just like the old days). We have enjoyed this car for over 30 years and have loved the stories we hear from the memories this car brings back to people.
Thank you for including us in this article.
Hey Scott, yeah, cool car! I’m the editor of the OnAllCylinders blog and was there in Dayton when it stopped in town. Glad to see you spotted it–you can see the other article from the original photo gallery here.
