What classic car would Jack drive?

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

well, I suppose I could say Torchwood 'arranged' for Jack to have a car and not specify if it was rented or bought or whatever.

Which of those could you picture Jack in?

Well, some of that depends what kind of undercover work he's doing.

In general, I'd think something not *too* flashy but still powerful.

1950s - I agree with the suggestion of the Studebaker Starliner. If you want something a little more sport the Chevorlet Corvettes were fantastic.

For the 1960s- I could see him in a muscle car like a '67 Shelby or the Corvette Coupe. Even a Camaro or a Mustang...

I think you and [livejournal.com profile] airelin might be onto something here. a little flash, but no too 'in your face'
