the cars i owned
70I Can't Believe How Many I have Owned!
I was just thinking about one of my (previously owned) cars the other day. Then, I started remeniscing about some others also. Well, to tell you the truth, I could not remember all the cars I have owned over the last 36 years, so I decided to list them. What better place to do that than right here, in a hub.
The image of the Caddy, (above), is of my current vehicle. It is shown here without the signage on it. (My business).
I will try my best to put them in chronoligical order, but it doesn't matter if I don't. I will try to hunt up pictures of (or similar to) some of them. There would not be enough space to do the lot.
I want to make it clear right from the outset, I am not a collector, nor am I "rich". These were all cars that I owned for various periods of time, sold or traded them, and purchased another one. Some were bought for a project, that was supposed to make me some money,others, simply to drive. And, this is for real. I really did own these cars. (Just in case you are tempted to think I am making it up for the sake of an interesting? hub)
I restored a few to their former glory. Some were not worth it. In just about all cases though I did add some accessories, to enhance appearence, comfort, performance etc.
Some of the things that were done wereas below. This is by no means an exhaustive list.
- WHEELS (alloy or chrome)
- CUSTOM PAINT
- TRIM (custom)
- STRIPING (and/or graphics)
In most cases, it worked well. In some, "what was I thinking?"

Wow, can't believe it, I finished the list. I have to say though, this list is incomplete, because I am still alive, and will probably keep changing as opportunities arise. Below I have added some models that are similar to the ones on the list. I no longer have pictures of the originals.
Tell us about you.

Why, "new coat of paint"? Don't the paint jobs already look OK? Or are they the wrong colour?
Thanks for reading/commenting.
Very nice vehicle history.
And a costly one! I might one day try and work out the actual (well, close as I can) cost. :)
To say you've owned a lot of cars is an understatement.
