What was your daily driver in the mid 1960's - Page 8

In 1963 I had a 55 Dodge then later updated it to a 60 Plymouth. Some old guy had it and he put dual Walker Continental Glass packs on it. How cool was that. Then a 61 Red and White Chevy convertable replaced the Plymouth. When I got back from Nam I bought a 68 GTX 2Dr hard top. Still drive that one today.
