My dad bought a 1950 Pontiac Silver Streak Straight 8 new. He got an automatic because my mother assured him she would learn to drive an automatic (never happened). However, I learned to drive in it. It had decent power and was a tank. While driving down a narrow street, someone opened a door in my path. I didn’t realize I had knocked that door off until checking the rearview mirror a few moments later .

It lasted 14 years. By then it was only getting 8 mpg.
