If you could own one car or truck from each of the last 7 or 8 decades what would they be?

For me:

'20 any roadster
'30 any Cord or Duesenburg
'40 Any Tucker and Chevy Truck 1946
'50 1955 Oldmobile 98 convertable and 1951 Chevy Truck
'60 1966 fastback Mustang


As for the 70's 80' and 90's not to much into these eras
I figure I could have all of these for about $250,000, Anyone got a quarter of a million laying around???

Hmmm, I think you should include bikes too, if I can't have a 1951 Panhead then to hell with that decade! :D
