my first car was also a 51 Chevy, like Jerry's was...2-tone green.

The most fun I ever had was with a 56 VW bus with a 59 engine....I turned it into a rolling office and parked on campus and had parties in it..*grin* (yeah, I had curtains)

but the car I've always wanted,(45 years or so, now) and I don't CARE how it runs, or how impractical it would be to maintain, is this... 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C 'Tulipwood' Torpedo. Just pushes my buttons...
