    Six, but 3 were 4-cylinder shoe boxes, do they count?

    Only have 1 now, the Buick, and it was my second car.

    I've never compiled a complete list but I know it is well over 200.
    First car in 1966 was a 1950 Merc. 2dr.
    Six months later I added a 1956 Nomad Sport Wagon.
    I kept these two for about 3 years before I ordered a new custom chevelle S/S.
    From that point I have been out of control.
    I'll have to put the list together. You guys will be quite entertained I'm sure.

    My dad has kept a list since 1957. The list ends at 151. I know that we probably have not updated it in at least 5 years. I would guess that we are pushing 200 by now.

    76 Le Mans
    79 Monza
    87 Sprint
    66 Skylark

    Has anyone had their state threaten them to get a dealership license? Or have the insurance company drop them from having too many cars or constantly switching them?
