What was your first car?

[virgil283]

My first car was a Belair, four door with the big six. It might have been rusty but I waxed and polished it just the same......

[Blue Collar Christian]

‘52 Buick Roadmonster with straight eight, 4 bbl carb and Dynaflow 2 speed slushbox. Got it from the old lady down the street after she crashed it into the side of her house, drunk as usual. She gave it to me and even paid for a tow truck to remove in from the crawl space access pit that eventually stopped the tank from destroying more of the house.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

‘62 Impala 4-door, 283 cu. in. with a 2-speed PowerSlide transmission.

[Rightly Biased]

60 AMC Rambler

Straight 6 with a holly carb

Ran great

had a tube radio in it had to wait for the tubes to warm up to listen to the one speaker.

Great car HUGE back seat.

1969 Olds Cutlass

[null and void]

No. Actually not too bad a car, unless you had to look under the hood (which you did after every puddle, as the spark plug wells would need to be drained...)

[jumpingcholla34]

1963 Ford Galaxie with 286 V-8 and two-speed Fordomatic transmission. Bought it used for $800 in 1966.

[Nabber]

Olds 442, W-30 package. 455 cubes. Candy-blue with white hood scoops (functional) . Awesome 9 miles per gallon….

[Argus]

A ‘55 Buick Special, a real tank but the brakes went out on a mountain road so...

[McGruff]

1961 Ford Falcon. Hey it was a gift from my departed aunt. Actually my first car was a 56 ford but it never saw the road.

Then I actually bought one of these. 1964 Falcon Sprint.

But didn't have that for long until a school bus totaled it while parked in my driveway.

I could go on and on.

[Fightin Whitey]

'62 Chev Impala convertible, red and white.

Dude, you left yourself nothing to work up to!

[philled]

Seventeen year old 1966 Mustang— 289 w three speed and Pony interior. Had a bunch of bondo under new paint a couple of years before I bought it but they’d not done floor pans so feet would be wet!! Replaced a year and a half later with a 1968 Barracuda-— there isn’t a week that goes by that I don’t wish I still had the Cuda!!

[M-cubed]

mine was turquoise...327 4 speed with 4:11 gears...shed max out in the 1/4 mile...ahh the memories!

[Boogieman]

‘86 Buick Somerset. It was a piece of junk, but it was MY piece of junk :)

[Boogieman]

Ha! That looks like the “woody” station wagon my mom used to drive.

[liberalh8ter]

70 Z28. 350 LT1, M22 4 speed - all original. Wish I still had it :-(

[freedomfiter2]

‘69 Mustang. It’s the only car I have ever sold for more than I paid and the only car I’ve regretted selling.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

1966 E type roadster
1966 E type coupe.

1972 Norton 850 (just waiting out in the garage for a chance to kill me.)
1972 Kawasaki 3 cyl 500 (grim reaper orange)
1967 BSA 441 Victor. Big thumper.
Lately, I added;

[HiJinx]

Hey Jeff, aren’t there still a few of those running around over in Sun City West?

[Polyxene]

Me, too! My first car was a 1972 VW Beetle (bright yellow). It was $1900.00 brand new! Gas was 18 cents a gallon, and I could fill up for $2.00 or less! Wish I still had that car!

[W.]

Har, yeah, really! And, 3 bucks, cheap! How long’s it been since we’ve seen floor-mounted dimmers in cars? That’d just confuse people now... ;)
