1985 Chevrolet Corvette (traded for the Astro & Escort)
1987 Chevrolet Astro
1986 Ford Escort wagon
1985 Ford Tempo
A couple of VW Rabbits (I forget the years. Might have been 1978 & 1983)
1988 Mitsubishi Starion
1985 Buick station wagon
1982 Ford LTD II
1996 Ford Taurus
2004 Chevrolet Malibu
2012 Nissan 370Z

Whew... I might have missed a couple here & there. A few 'brand new' cars, the Z was bought a model year old with 1600 miles, so it was almost new.

The 1949 Windsor looks so out of place on your list I have to ask: old first car, restoration project, or ???

My first car. I paid $50 for it and it had to be towed home. The kid that owned it rebuilt the carb and dorked it up. My dad fixed it (a simple adjust of the float) and the car ran great. I drove it for a couple of years before I went to boot camp, sold it to my grandfather for $300. I was supposed to get it back when he passed, but my grandmother sold it to some banker for $3k

It had the original mohair interior and was in great shape.
