What classic car would Jack drive?

[donutsweeper]

Just wondering what you all think.  For a story set sometime in America in the 50's (or maybe early 60's I haven't quite decided yet) what car would Jack have rented/borrowed/etc?

eta- probably 50's instead of 60's come to think of it
One suggested is the Studebaker Starliner

It really depends. Studebakers were well popular, but so were. Something like a Studebaker Starliner, but Jack might favour something more along the lines of a Citroën.

Chevy's, in general, were popular rental cars, too. Hell, Chevy's were just flooring the market in the 50s. From the period, I'd say the One-Fifty or the Two-Ten. The 'Vette is a sportier - for the time - alternative, but also a little less common and so a bit pricier. The Bel-Air I would avoid altogether. It appeals more to a driver mentality.

thanks! I'll hunt down photos of each and see which I could picture Jack in (if that makes sense)

Makes perfect sense. :)
