2004 “Bring Your Own Baby” Classic Showdown

Looks like the boys from the Motor City got a lot of class in their repertoire. Now I see where the producers of “The Mack” got their inspiration from.

The Fresh Prince would have lost his mind in this Bel Air. It’s the 1955 top of the line, convertible, Gypsy Red, Indy 500 pace car.

With nitrous inject and big bubble rubber, the 1974 “Copper Stardust” Chevy Vega gets more burn than your sister’s perm.

If you look closely, you will see that Buick’s 1963 Riviera rolls on spoked “non-spinning” spinners.

Car # 6 is making noise. It’s Chevy’s Vette Race Car, one of 20 original “Box” cars that GM produced for racing.

Really! Jay Leno even admits he slept in his, then, $350 1955 Buick Roadmaster before breaking it big. And with a 620-horsepower V8, he’ll put most challengers to sleep as well.

Call me “Big Papa” when you step into my 1960 stretch drop Caddy. It even features the tasteful remix of the 1959 shark fins.

The 1967 Corvette with the side pipes and Black “Stinger” hood is bleeding for that certain driver to push its buttons.

Ed Welburn, GM’s VP of Design, knows a little about classics such as the 1955 Chevy Bel Air Convertible with power steering, windows, seats and the 5-0 spot light on the door.

It’s hotter than Hendrix’s strings! It’s the world’s oldest Vette. The Polo White 1953 model is also Chevy’s first to receive a factory V8 application.

Wagons get love too, but only from a select few. Chevy made just 6,103 of the 2-speed 1957 Nomads.

With 8 lugs to every wheel, I doubt if your set of 1961 Pontiac Ventura rims will ever be gone in less than 60 seconds.

A Rio Red convertible in 1958 would make any mammi get her eagle on. Especially the Chevy Impala.

In 1961 you could get a 413-horepower V8 with a push button gear selector. Amazing!

Shame on the GM executive who brought his 1970 Ferrari Dino to the BYO Baby party.

The rare 1967 Chevy Camaro “Indy Pace” car just might be Detroit’s Baddest Boy ever. It certainly is the most valuable pace car ever.
