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?

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!
