1967 Imperial LeBaron by Chrysler

You're looking at the most expensive American car you could buy in 1967. Chrysler's flagship Imperial listed at $6,661 in 1967. That $53K today; a heckuva lot less that you can pay for a car in 2021. Note this is a 4-door hardtop. Power down all the windows for a very breezy experience.

1970 Plymouth Barracuda 'Cuda 340 convertible

Only 8,939 Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda convertibles were made in 1970-71, and despite being relatively inexpensive cars when new, they command staggering prices today, particularly when fitted out with the rarer performance options. This is one of only 435 'Cuda convertibles built in 1970, and I'd say it's worth at least $80,000. Here's an even more valuable 'Cuda convertible I spotted in 2019.

Ain't That America? 1955 Pontiac Chieftain, 1970 International 1200 Pickup Truck

In 1955, Pontiac replaced its venerable straight-8 with an OHV V-8 and 12-volt electrical system. Though very similar to and slightly more upscale than 1955-57 Chevies, they've never been as popular. An IH pickup with faux-wood trim is not something I see every day.
