I am old enough to remember some pretty hot cars when I was in high school in the 60s. One of the hottest was the Corvette. After all, we had the television show “Route 66″ to go by if we wanted to know just HOW hot they were. Martin Milner and George Maharis played two guys driving around the country in a beautiful Corvette each week. It starts with Tod Stiles (Milner) receiving a bequest from his father who had passed away. Tod got a Corvette, but no money. He and his friend, Buz Murdock (Maharis), decided to travel around the country getting odd jobs and adventures. Sometimes, no..all the time, they seem to bite off more than they could chew, at first.

The point is that they were driving one hot car! They attracted girls galore and strange guys. But in the end, the car was the star. Frankly, the cars aren’t quite as hot today, well, except for the newest Corvette and a few other muscle cars. I really loved the older muscle cars. They were so hot! Yes, I do keep saying that. The show ran from 1960-1964 during my high school years and I thought it had been cut off too early.

Now, of course, there is a fantastic looking Corvette too. I saw a picture of a 2009 Vette that was at a car show recently. It had a coppery color. And I was thinking, wouldn’t that look awesome with C6 Corvette wheels and a serious power plant under the hood. WOW! Okay, reality strikes and I know that the beautiful car I just saw is not going to reside in my driveway anytime soon, but hey, I can dream, can’t I?

    To my mind Ford Mustang 1960-69 - the best car
