My first car that ran was a 1961 Buick Special. Had a V-8, big four barrel carb, and a 3 speed.
Before that a friend and I bought a 1948 Buick Convertible. It had been my father's from 48-54. Somewhere along the line the car stopped running and ended up in a junk lot. We pretty much gave up before we started, it needed more time and money than we had. Pity - it probably would have looked like this: (even the same color)
