That's an awesome pair, Ted. Looks like the red/black convertible combo is a time-tested favorite.
Seeing a lot of talk about Fords in the previous posts in this thread, I also have one Ford in my stable; the first "classic" that I built. The config is in my signature and a picture below. I thought building a "kit" would be easier than rebuilding an old car, but in this case, a kit was no where near "insert Tab A into Slot B". Then, when I retired, I figured it would be fun to work on an old car. Found my first 65 GS, bought it, and now have two. And a 65 Skylark parts car will join in a couple of days.
Historically, I never owned a GM car. My dad was an American Motors fan, and my first new car, just out of college, was a 1972 Gremlin X. Wish I still had it! I've driven lots of Fords and Chryslers over the years. My daily driver is a 2011 Dodge Durango and it has been a great car; my favorite of all the previous ones including a Volvo XC90 that I owned for five years.
I love my 65 GS's, but there's lots to like about the other brands as well!
Cheers!
