1968 Dodge Dart

 These were durable cars by the standards of their era. The Slant Six was a workhorse. I wonder if this car is really just a survivor--or a sleeper, in disguise, like this '66 Bel Air. Or my favorite car, this '64 Biscayne.

1965 Pontiac Catalina

Autoliterate is a Catalina fan and this one packs some punch, though it does not compare in sleekness to the earlier-Sixties Pontiacs.  On the block today at B-A-T.

Your basic Benz: The 240D

 The plain-jane Mercedes-Benz 240D, taxi to the world. Maybe the great Basic Car.
