Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | If you could have any two Forward Look cars describe what they would be.
Mine would be a '58 Plymouth 'vert. Black, no sport tone, no wings, no fender spears, no hood emblem, shaved doors and trunk, just simple black with only the body lines to show it off.
Stock looking interior with Chrysler swing out buckets all in black.
Suspension would be a Mustang II type front with a 3 link/panard bar rear.
As low as she can go with some big wheels and very low prof tires.
Powered by a 6.1 Hemi and 6 speed manual.
My second one would be a bone stock '60 Fury 2DHT in black and white.

Location: STL, MO | 1) Any Hemi Letter car or a G, with a matching Ava, Marilyn, Julie Newmar- period correct type chick to ride shotgun, and the ability to fix itself with the "show me" line, 2) one I could sell for enough to pay for the grief the first one would inevitably create |

Location: Parts Unknown | Really fun question. 
My DeSoto is largely my dream car of all finned cars, Forward Look or other makes. If I could tweak it a little, I wish it was originally painted lavender and charcoal and Virgil had assigned the 57 sidetrim to the 58 cars and Mopar had offered a good floor shift manual transmission in those years. Other than those few details, this is the best post war car ever made for my tastes and interests. I hunted long and hard to find this car and it is my dream car.
I have really enjoyed some of Danny's photoshop work and that 57 Adventurer sedan delivery wagon was just awesome. A 57-58 wagon with sedan fins could be right up there. As it is, our 56 Dodge is a pretty decent wagon as built. I like a lot of FL cars. 56 Dodge, 58 Plymouth, 58 Dodge, 57-58 Chrysler and DeSoto. Hard to beat any of them. A seafoam green monotone el strippo 58 Plaza sedan would be pretty awesome.

Location: Springville, CA | I want a white '56 300B with all the lettering, and 300 emblems removed and a Dodge 518 tranny installed. And that's exactly what I'm building now. My second car would be a '59 Plymouth 2door hardtop. |

Location: NY & VT | A '57/8 DeSoto 4 dr hardtop, any series, and a 57 Chrysler 4 dr hardtop Saratoga or NYer. One in lavender or peach, and one in turquoise. Real 50s colors. I've already got the DeSoto, and though some health and storage issues have raised their ugly head, am trying hard to sell our 70 MG first so I can keep it!
Agree with Brent on that 57 DeS side trim, but 58 ain't bad either!
And I also like the 58 green (or blue) stripper sedan idea, like the one in the brochure!

Location: DFW, TX | I've already got my #1 - '57 New Yorker coupe. I don't care for the 300 front end treatements and I like the colored sweep of the 'lesser' car.
My #2 is probably controversial - '61 DeSoto coupe. I just like them. |

Location: Sydney | Oh man, what a tough question !
I think I'll cop out and offer two answers :
"Obtainable" - '57 Adventurer Hardtop, Gold on Black; '60 Town & Country.
"Unobtainable" - KT Keller's '55 'Imperial' Convertible, '60 300F Special.
