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. 🤔

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!

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!
