Cool cars throughout your family

[86TRD]

Anyones parents/grandparents other family members here had any cool cars through out there time? , my dad restored a 1942 willys jeep and sold it for around $4000 in around year 2000 he is now kicking himself because there worth heaps these days but he had no other choice then to sell it which sucks.
only modern part of my dads jeep was it had rear seat belts for when me and my sister were young , other then that it was all restored to original. had the shovel and axe strapped to the side and a jerry can on the rear , still had the hole in the floor behind the front seats for where the machine gun went , would love to find another one for him to fix up oneday.
