Any time I see a pretty schweet, preferably stock vintage automobile, no matter how pedestrian the model, I will take notice and go, Mmmm, niiiicccceee. :-)
If I had the time, the money and the room, I'd have an old pleasure mobile of vintage to restore and have an occasional fun cruise in.
These are the cars of choice. 76 Honda Accord, blue on blue - 5Spd, just like the one my Dad had. an original 74-79 Civic, 80-83 Civic would be second choice (owned an 83 DX hatchback for 6 years) 1968 Chrysler Newport or preferably 300 2 door convertable, 2 door hardtop second, red preferably (had the 4 door Newport special in HS, 383 w/ 2bbl carb) 1968-69 Dodge Charge RT 1964 Dodge Polara 500 2 door or convertable or the 330 wagon w/ push button tranny (parents had one w/ the 226 CI straight 6 that they bought new) And of course the Mustang, 67-68 especially and the 67-69 Cougar XR7 70-74 Cuda/Challenger twins 71 Plymouth Belvedere Roadrunner 70's era MGB's Older Rabbits, especially those built between 1975-1980 Old air cooled bugs and buses, especially those up to about 1967 (buses) 65 or so for the bug, but the earlier the better And I have a love affair for some, well, not so great cars. Chevy Vega (lesser extent) Chevy Chevette (better than the vega but both had their good qualities) The Yugo, (based on the Fiat 124-127 models), especially the GV Plus and GVX grade.
