Ok lets say you were a billionaire and you had the choice of either a G5 or like type or a Lockheed L1049 or another classic propliner which would you pick? I'd pick the Connie it'd get a lot of attention and plus for the 40 million in price difference I could buy a lot of fuel and R-3350's

If I had to be practical, the Gulfstream. As a toy, the smokey, noisy, hair-on-back-of-neck-standing radial... Probably a Connie, but a DC-6/7 would suffice.

L1049, B377, or a DC6 or DC7.
