Only 5? OK, bucket list, so I don't have to relist what I've already "had" (or been "had" by!
):
1. 66-67 Buick riviera
2. Most any 55-57 buick / olds / pontiac 2D HT or conv, in fact some of the 4door HT's are pretty slick as well
3. '49 Cadillac Sedanette
4. 68-69 Charger / 70-74 Cuda conv
5. 53 Buick Skylark
5. 61 Impala bubbletop / 65 impala SS HT or conv
5. 57-58 Plymouth Fury; 60-61 Chrysler new yorker conv
Some pictures of a few of the above from my "car ****" folder:
'49 Cad Sedanette:
'53 Buick:
'67 Riviera:
'57 Fury
Of course, the catch 22 is the more money I spend on cars and **** of my wife, the short the time is before I kick the bucket!!!!

I always wanted a new Caddy which I just got a CTS so I'll go with four
1) '70 Corvette LT1
2) Grand National
3) New Corvette
4) 68-70 Dodge Charger
Unfortunately I am limited to one cool car at a time so for me to check off any of those my Cutlass will have to go. I promised it to my son when he graduates college (in 14 yrs) so I'll get something then.

On a somewhat related note, if you're short on cash (aren't we all?), a good way to achieve your automotive bucket list is to get a job valet parking cars. I did this part-time while in college and drove everything from old Rolls Royce's to brand new 'Vetts -- and even a monstrous Bluebird WonderLodge.

Image's on the internet you just get the image link that usually ends in .jpg, or .png, or .gif or .bmp
and you hit this
button on your post, and insert it , and post it.
If it's something on your PC you have to host it to a Webhost site like Photobucket or Imageshack
