What era of cars do you like and collect most?
I won't pass up on any car I think is cool, but I really like the cars from the 70s. Poison pinto, gremlin grinder, brown sugar, and hot rod draguar. What era do you like?

Can't knock the big guy's taste for classic artistic lines in design. Every decade has something to appreciate. Always great to see a new racing spec casting appear like the 90 Audi Quattro, even if its actual performance in this hobby is spotty
I think I find HW fantasy cars to be to most intriguing, especially the early designs when metal was abundant. Mattel's investment in automotive designers really paid dividends here. Even though some cars seemed outlandish, many of them were 100% feasible if money wasn't an object.

Not collecting any really, but may pick them up if I see them. It would be the redlines and black walls. Models would be whatever still connects with me.
Haven't bought a Large Charge, but had the green and the chrome versions. Will get a chrome one someday. Vans and Twinmill are others I go for.
I collect all over the board but I do grab any '64-'74 Mopars, any Porsche that has two doors, Ferraris, and since getting into diecast racing, anything Metal/Metal.
