Let’s see picture of your first car
 

Attachment 109121This car would occasionally wink when one light would not come up. Bought myself for $1500, wish I had it now, oh my, sold to put Doug thru Palmer College (Chiropractic school in Davenport, Iowa)

1960 Triumph Herald. I took that car to college in 1966.

I bet that little Triump is worth a LOT now!

1970 Chrysler Newport Royal
 

He is my 1st car

No pictures I know of survived, but it was a 1958 Ford Fairlane, painted metallic green, and looked like a typical car until you looked under the hood, "POLICE INTERCEPTOR SPECIAL". No idea of the top end on this car, it was nothing off the line, but at 80 MPH the engine was barely turning 2000 RPM, no idea what the top end was that was as fast as I was taking the car.

70 Mustang. No pictures but did get 100,000 miles.

End came when floor rusted out and at various spots could look down and see the road.

And maybe also my 1972 TR6. Not the same car as the pic, but same color. (However, it broke a lot.)

This was mine: Orange and White VW Bus with Palm Trees Background I'd driven my parents' cars, but the bus was the first one I bought. Right after I graduated college. Paid $700 for it, had to do some repairs to patch a hole in the floor behind the driver's seat, and on the sliding door, there were a few serious rust holes. I had to cut them out, rivet some sheet metal over the holes, bondo the seams, and spray paint over the mess. It wasn't a pretty sight but it solved the problem.

63 split window, I worked as a waitress for my mom to buy the car from a friend drafted into service.

Did yours wink at passerby’s also?

1972 plymouth roadrunner 440, 4 bbl, 4 on the floor , dana rear, 4:10 rear end, hurst pistol grip shifter,
air grabber hood powered by compressor switch so up and down. Fun part was telling the girls to pose for the camera inside, not!!!
Never drag raced, i swea.. Ok i did. Bought fcp brooklyn brand new.pic not original. Color and striping the same. I had better wheels. The striping was irradesent so as you drove under street lights it would give off a strobe effect. Those were the days.

Me and my ‘57 Chevy Belair. Swapped the 6cyl for a 283 V8 and a power glide to a 4 speed.

My first car 45 yrs later
 

I purchased this 450SL in 1980 and I still have it in my garage.

'67 Ford Galaxie 500. 289 V8 with a 'three on the tree' cut off the column and replaced with a Hurst 3spd on the floor, in front of that lonnnng vinyl bench seat.

Mo picture, but mine was a Hillman Minx. Bet I'm the only one that can say that!

A 1959 Volkswagen Beetle. Painted it blue in our carpark. 100 dollars. Purchased a 1961 for 1 dollar as spare, and a 1962 for fifty. This was in 1970. Sold the 1961 when I graduated HS 1971. Bought a Datsun Fairlady, 75 dollars and drove it to College. Tennessee Tech.

Hmmm...'Fairlady'? America's famous Datsun 240z...

I don’t have pictures of my first 4 cars.

Looks like there was some very cool first cars. Thanks for sharing.
Now please double check that, "What's the make of your first car" is not being used as one of your password reminder security questions. 🤔

My 1971 Camaro
 

My parents bought me this car when I graduated from WVU.

1954 Ford
 

54 Ford 2 door sport coupe 3 on the column painted metallic blue,cherry bomb mufflers.

A lot of car for $225 in 1970.

Unfortunately, it lasted less than 48 hours, before I blew the motor.

Forgot about that "check the oil" thing.

Great security questions. Be careful folks.

My first car was a 1968 Pontiac LeMans with the 350 cu in 4 barrel carb putting out 325 hp. I bought it when I was 15 with savings from cutting grass, raking leaves and shoveling snow for neighbors since I was 12. I had it repainted and put Cragers with meaty Firestone tires.

Sadly the first time I was legally allowed to drive it by myself a drunk driver ran a red light and totaled the car. Nobody was hurt but all I got out of it was the wheels, tires and radio. I sold those and bought a 1972 Ford Galaxy 500 with a 400 cu in which was a great car but the LeMans looked a lot cooler!

Oh yeah, the Rustang. I had a 73. It was my second car.

I have no picture but when I was 16 Dad bought me a used Ford Fairlane, 2 doors, rusty brown color that was a 1966 or '67. Had to keep both feet firmly on the brakes when I put it into reverse or the tires squealed as it took off. I didn't get into any trouble except I ran into a ditch during a snowstorm coming home thru the country after a basketball game. Dad came to pull me out and never said a word; I guess he felt a little guilty turning me loose in such a car. Maybe it had the police engine like Tinker's!

A 57 Chevy STATIONWAGON, just drove by our street, wow!

These cars are worth big bucks now!!!!

Had one as my second car. Used to get teased about it being an old man’s car till I opened up the 4 barrel.

Those days pushed you to buy the undercoating.

Name one car that didn’t rust out in rust belt?

My 5th car was old man’s car that had lumber yard business in my home town. In 72 I brought it for 450 bucks, not rust spot or scratch on it. 64 Olds Starfire.

I had a 57 Chev 2-door hardtop with a V-8 and stick. I wish that I still had it. Nice combination of size (loved REAL bumpers) and speed and cornering.

I had a Spitfire. It always broken. Even if I drove through a large puddle. Thank those Lucas electrical components.

It was 1965, I just graduated from HS and paid $400 out of my bank account for a "modified" 1955 chevy 2 door. It began life as a 6 cylinder with 3 on the column but when I got it, it had an ~340 hp 327, hurst shifter stuck through the floorboards and a 455 posi rear and a cheap coat of burgundy paint and cut out rear wheel wells. It went like hell leaving two lines of rubber in 3rd gear. But only last about 6 mo. Can't imagine why.

56 Chev 2 door Hardtop Bel Air Matador Red. Most of us wish we still had our first car no doubt.

I should add, my first NEW car was a '66 Mustang coupe, Signal Flare Red, black vinyl top, 289, 3 speed C4. I eventually had 10 more over the years, still have 2, a 2012 convertible, and a '66 fastback (restomod).

Wish the pics would come up!
