Other American vehicles owned

[Baron von Del Boy]

What other non-Corvette US vehicles have you owned / do you own?
My list is short..
1932 Flathead V8 Ford Coupe imported from Connecticut..

Cadillac CTS daily (a real GM American car not to be confused with the BLS which is a rebodied Saab).

The Cadillac was replaced by this American car...

There appears to be something wrong with my camera.. never mind, moving on..
Membership Ban in 5-4-3-2-
This is the only US Bike ive owned, a Harley D 1200 Sportster.

Yummy!

Yummy!

Indeed, it makes me feel ill when I think how much I sold the 455 for back then.

Yes, sadly it was sold a few years ago - too big for my wife to drive. It was a great touring car although the 'Estate' space was very mediocre.
These days I have this.....



...which is also a great tourer - and the boot space is about the same as in the 300C Estate!

Lucky enough to own a 70 Mustang in 73 and a 66 Chevelle in the 80's but would have to get in the loft for photos of that. Not sure if a Triumph America counts

I love Chevelles, i would so love a 1970, i wouldnt get it past the rear corner of the house to get it in the garage though.. i could always knock the house down i s'pose.
That would be like saying my Moto Guzzi California counts.

Since 1990, eight Corvettes and two Camaros.

Daily drivers for 8 years were a couple of new 300Cs.

I'll probably get hate mail and banned from here but in the 90's I needed space for my C3 and nobody wanted the Chevelle so I took the motor and box out and it went to the scrapyard

Over the years I have had 5 Vauxhalls , 1 Opel , 1 Ford and 1 Peugeot . Does that mean they count too ?

I still cant get used to the idea that Opel/Vauxhall have switched from being General Motors to being part of the Chrysler group.
And Holden are no more, RIP (they switched from domestic production to rebadged Opel's for a short while before being laid to rest).
Times they are a changing.

Holden built some great cars . Real Aussie muscle .

Derek - the Opel/Vauxhall 'switch' is far worse than you think - its actually the PSA Peugeot group that have taken them over - the 'irritating' advert that now says "Vauxhall, a british brand since 1908 (or something similar)"
