The car that started it all?

I remember when i was young my dad was into cars big time, he always drove Cadillacs. He had a '56 2 door with 2-4bbls, a batwing air cleaner and wire wheels. That was his favorite car and we still have it. He always drove Cadillacs from as far back as i can remember. I really fell in love with '57 Chevy bel airs when i was 9 and i used to see them all the time at a local dirt track racing or on the street. I could never find one in my price range to fix up though.
A year later, my oldest brother got a '69 Coronet R/T 440 auto. Man did that car go and it got me hooked on mopars. Same time my other brother said to me "let's go look at a car" It was on a local car lot and it was a '67 Coronet R/T 426 hemi auto. I'll never forget how that car sounded and the look of the engine. He could have bought it for $1400 in 1971 dollars but it got sold the next day before dad could get the money out of the bank.
The car that solidly addicted me to mopars especially a bodies was a '71 Demon 318 3 spd standard floor shift that i bought in 1981. I've been hooked ever since. That was the best car i ever owned. I'm in the process of building one very similar to it now.
Memories.....
I'm still going to own a '57 Chevy bel air 2 door post some day though.....:-D
