Question What would you pick?

What vehicle would you choose that is prior to 1950?
I would have to choose the 1936 Auburn boattail convertible

1930-31 Model A cabriolet/coupe/pickup

They may not be the prettiest or the fastest, but they're easy to work on, easy to get parts for, fun to drive, and not so rare that I'd worry much about driving it regularly.

1947 Mercury sedan. Just like the one I had to sell to buy the house I had to give to my ex-wife.

'49 Mercury Coupe, like one Sylvester Stallone drove in "Cobra".

2nd on the list would be 1936-1942 Lincoln Zephyr.

Ultimately, I'd probably go for a Stutz Bearcat, or a T-bucket.
