And do you remember what you paid for gas at that time?
My first car was a 1972 Pontiac Parisienne my dad gave to me in 1975, I have no idea how much I paid for gas but I do remember driving it for weeks without having to stop and put gas in it..
1941 Chevy Convertable. Bought in 1959 for $125.00. Put in a new top, paint, interior and tires and it was good as new. Everything, including the power top worked. It was a terrible mistake to let it go. Wish I still had it. It’d probably be worth at least a high 5 figure today.
Plus it was great fun to drive.
Before that, I shared one of these with my sister (hers was red)...
My first car was a yellow 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, bought brand new for $1900! Gas was 19 cents a gallon, and I could fill it up for $2.00 or less!!
