Edited to add: I want the 1948 Studebaker pickup I bought from my Grandfather back. Push button starter on the floor, 3 on the tree trans, flathead 6 that needed a valve job every year, no radio, an addon heater, and vacuum powered windshield wipers. That was the ride of a lifetime. It was my first, and I would give anything to have her back.

Those big, long sweeping fenders were the bomb.

I never had a Monte, but I did have a Cadillac Coup DeVille and a long hood Cougar. The Caddy was a real ride meant for open roads and long trips. It was like riding on a cloud. But man, was it hard on fuel. The Cougar was a blast to drive. And from behind the wheel, that hood went on forever.

Now, I just want to find another old International "H" tractor. I had a 1940 model on factory rubber that was dual fuel (gas and distillate). It was the first tractor I ever owned. I literally picked up all the engine pieces off the farmer's junk pile and rebuilt it. I used it for many years.
