What Was Your First Car?

[Misterpaul]

Sh** in a diaper brown 1976 Datsun 210. Looked just like this one. 4 speed manual, AM radio, crank windows, power nothing on that car. I swear that thing got like 50 mpg on the highway. I could drive to Champaign and back to Joliet without the gas gauge moving.

BTW: my high school sweetheart named the color...

1969 Ford Fairlane 500 that had been hit in the rear by a school bus. I used a specimen cup as a gas cap! Paid $500 to my Dad for the driving privilege. Those were the days.

1974 Chevy Nova Custom. My parents bought it brand new, my older brother bought it from them in 1987, and I bought it from him in 1988.

I still have it, it has 91k miles.

I’d love to resto-mod a 67 Riviera. That is such a cool body style. From the front grill/headlight to the rear and everything in between.

It was a great car, and I didn't appreciate it when I had it. It was 9 years old when I got it, and my two best friends had been given "newer" cars by their parents. I bought mine with money I made working at a funeral home cutting grass and washing hearses. $500.00, and I then had to go buy a spare wheel and tire for another $85.00 (I think that's what it cost). Emptied my bank account. I do wish I had it back. I also wish I had my wife's first car - a 1972 Mercury Cougar.

When I was 16 (1966) I got a job working some days after school and on weekends. This was my first car but I didn't keep it very long. I enjoyed my next car a little more, a 1958 Chevrolet.

1966 Volkswagen Bug, faded baby blue with one primer red fender.

Mom had a 440 Charger so shortly after my 16th birthday the bug was in the driveway. I was told congratulates this is your car and don't even think you will get to drive the Charger.
