I thought this would be an interesting thread, finding out the first car freepers ever had.
If you have a picture of it post it as well!
I remember we had to drive it to Salt Lake City in 1963 while my mother ran for Mrs. Utah. Whe was sooooo embarrassed! Little did she know she was 30 years ahead of her time and the SUV craze.
Mine was a late 70's yellow; manual (stick shift); diesel VW Rabbit.
It was really, really loud. You could hear me coming a couple blocks away and it was impossible pulling into the driveway after curfew with that thing.
I didn't have it long.
It was lime green and completely stock except for the 200 Watt amp that routinely blasted AC/DC down the Jersey Shore.
However, I learned that if you don't drive drunk, bring home your dates on time and are willing to put up with a lot of chatter, girls will tell other girls who are willing to see past the facade and sit on each others laps to get to someplace cool (like an all-boys high school dance). Ha! I don't know if I was more popular with the girls or the guys at school when I would show up with a carload Catholic school girls!
I nearly cried when it was towed to it's final resting place in 1989.
The ride preferred by the Daddy of the MacDaddy!
Don't believe what you hear about those chinese imports...they're great!

Nah, I don't still have it. Blew up the engine in '69...being in college, couldn't afford to have it fixed. Had to settle for a '69 baby-blue VW bug (who didn't???). |
Mine was black w/ black leather interior. Geez, what a babe magnet. And believe me, I needed all the help I could get...
1955 Chevy wagon.
I still have it.
'69 VW Bug!
I wish I still had it. What a great little car.
Lol!
I'll see your Bug and raise you a Rabbit (see post #62).
A 1960 Ford Falcon station wagon bought in 1964. It would go anywhere. No farmers field would stop it. No muddy back road would slow it down.
My first car was a 97'Mitsubishi Galant.
I drove my parents' spare car: a 64 Buick Riviera with some amazing huge V8.
Then I bought my own car: '67 VW Squareback. I drove that car for a lot of years and a lot of miles.
In 1984 i bought a 1967 Chevy Chevelle, 4 door, 327 engine. Piece of crap, but my current ride ain't much better. At least i can park anywhere and do not have to fear it will be stolen.
PONTIAC PARISENNE
I hate you.
:p
1951 Plymouth Cranbrook.
'78 Monte Carlo. White with blue pin stripes. Sadly, that was the year of the new hacked off back.
The brakes failed on that wagon once pulling into the local drive in resturant. Hit the walkway curb the car hops used, flew two feet in the air, and bounced to a stop in the parking space on the other side. I killed the engine and ordered on the speaker on the passager window side as if nothing had happened.
1953 MG roadster. (in 1964)
