This is really cool. Find your first car or the one you drove to high school or
college; hopefully your car brochure is available.

My first car was a little red 2HP 4seater NSU Prinz that looked the same when it was coming or going. My late husband said it was like a covered lawn mower but it got up to hwy speed and I drove it for 5 years with little trouble and it was great on gas! Have never seen another one but if anyone else has, I'd love to hear any recollections they had. Many good memories.

1964 Corvair named Patrick Henry! Lot's of laughs when the macho gas station attendant would want to check the water and oil under the hood! Under the hood was a bag of cement to help traction in the snow, sleet and ice!
1949 Plymouth Deluxe named The Hindenberg because it was so high and easy to find in a parking lot!

1972 Mustang, the white and blue racing stripes fastback. Only had the 302 in it but with the hijackers, the fat Mickey Thompson tires it looked good.

I checked the listing and found my first car. It was a 1955 Rambler Country Club. It had a green body and a cream color top. It also had the continental kit on the back for the spare tire. I had that car from 1963 until 1966 when I joined the Army.
My next car, when I got out of the Army in 1969, was a 1969 Mustang. Wish I had that car now!

1970 Opel Kadett. No heater, no defroster, no radio, not much more than a seat, 4 wheels an engine and steering wheel. I used to have to roll the windows down when going over a bridge to cut down on the wind resistance or it would push me into the adjacent lane! My girlfriend at the time gave me a portable cassette player so that I could listen to music when driving to her house (about an hour away at the time)!

1967 GTX. Brand new. 375 horsepower. Had it modified to 400 hp. I remember my payments being $75 a month and gas being .26 cents so the eight miles per gallon didn't mean too much. I had just turned 19. Ahhh, to be young and free again.

I know what you mean. I had a '63 Corvette Stingray split window coupe in black with red interior. Sold it for $1000 when in college because I couldn't afford to fix the rear end!
