Default Re: What was your first car?

Grew up in Chicago and burbs. First car I bought was when I was 19 in 1963 - 56 Ford Crown Vic White over Orange, forget what I paid, but it was probably under $500.

Then I bought a Blue 54 Ford Ranch Wagon, then a White 59 Plymouth Savoy Convertible. then a Red 62 Austin Healey Sprite. Moving all those cars in and out of the driveway was a pain. Went in the Army in 64 and my younger brothers finished off the cars before I got back three years later.

And today - we have 4 cars, a pickup and a full size high top van!
