How many classic cars do you own?

Although the Hudsons are clearly the favorite on this board, it's good to see a variety of the other makes as well. I own only a Hudson, but if time and money allowed, there would be others.

51 Hornet Club Coupe- nice driver
52 " " - being restored
53 " " - project
54 " " - project
1949 Dodge Coronet sedan - nice driver
1963 Mercedes Unimog Troop Carrier- excellent original / weekend soccer assault vehicle0 -
We have 5 cars -
The most important is our 1950 Super 6 Club Coupe that we just finished a 5 year exercise in an amature restoration.
We drove it over 6,000 miles (Arizona to St Louis and beyond and back) this summer - one stop was in Kearney,NB at the Nat'l Meet and got to enter it for the Bill Albright Award. THANKS BILL FOR SETTING UP THIS AWARD!!!!!
The others are:
1955 Packard 400 - all original and just turned over 50,000 original miles
1966 Ford F-100 short bed pick-up - originally wifes' Aunt pick up
1988 Chev S-10 pick up (Want A Be Truck) It's so small that you have to get out of it to change your mind!!Ha!
2002 Dodge Grand Caravan - Wife's get about
The hudson is our pride and joy. We're also now looking at one of 3 Hudson Pickups (1946 &/or 47) - got to look at our pocket book and available space!
Next year we'll drive the Super 6 to Auburn (From Arizona) then on to the East Coast and down to Florida and back along the Southern border.
Hudsons were made to DRIVE (unfortunitly a few road dings happens along the way - so much for the perfect paint job!). I keep telling people to Drive those cars and show them off at every oppertunity!!! People love to see them and talk about them!!

These "opportunities" have a way of finding us. Funny how that works.
A 1984 Jeep CJ7 just found me recently, as well as a 1946 Hudson truck.

Well:
'50 Pacemaker Coupe (registered, but now a parts car)
'50 Pacemaker Coupe (donor, soon (relatively speaking) to be daily driver)
'88 Range Rover "Classic" (it says classic on the registration! lol
And the misses drives a 2000 Land Rover Disco II (not a classic, but I'd catch hell for not mentioning hers! lol)
Wish I had the room for many more.....one would have to be the '56 Buick Special Convertible I passed up a year ago to buy the Hudson.
