As a paying-your-own-way college kid in the 1960s I did not have an iconic 1960s car; couldn’t afford any of them.

I had a 1955 Pontiac Star Chief, 4 door, that I paid all of $250 dollars for, and sold for $250 some years later when I was in the military. Wish, I’d kept it. I would would restored it when my money situation improved.

When America was still America and cars had character such that you could still tell one from another.

I bought a 69 GTO in 1978 for $250 bucks. It was worn out though, it had 50,000 miles on it. No rips, no tears in the upholstery. Someone had put the spark plug wires on wrong, and it ran rough. It was a fun car.
