1st car you ever owned
Gas prices post got me thinking about this. My first car was a 56 Plymouth with an automatic shifter on the dash. Paid $75 for it. Cut off the roof with a hack saw.Every time I filled up I added 3 quarts of oil. In the fall I had to leave for college so I took it to another town and set it on fire in a big parking lot. Had some great times in that car

My first car
was a 1958 Volvo PV-544. Black 2 door with 4 on the floor and twin amal-monobloc side draft carbs. Took a Vette in a drag at Atco Speedway when he missed a shift. GR8 car. Gave it to my cousin Debbie when it had 200,000 miles on it and she put another 100,000 on it before she got rid of it.

I had a 52 Dodge with hydro-drive (paid $50 bucks for it) and then I bought a 60 Pontiac (paid $550.00 for it) that came stock from the factory with 3-duces. Next I went to a 65 Rivera (paid $2500.00 for it, then a 1967 & 1969 Buick GS350 & 400) then I got 69 Chevy (large block) then I went into trucks - 71 Ford, 65 K-5, an ugly Surbuban (my kids didn't want me to take them to school in, and my latest piece of work is a 96 Jeep V-8.
I'm sure I missed a few inbetween. None new - have never had a brank spanking new vehicle. Just couldn't see paying those kind of prices. I hope someday to own a Hummvee. I sure like working on them. I also liked rebuilding them from the frame up. If anyone has any old auto manuals they don't want send them to me I collect them. I have one that goes back to 1936 its my favorite. Contact me if you want to send me any info.

First car was a 49 ford 2 door business coupe. It had a flathead 8 and three on the collum, I worked all summer to buy that car. man I was 12 feet tall when I drove to school during my senior year. I had wheels and it was all mine. My chicken s#%t little brother forged my name and sold it while I was overseas. You can pick friends but relatives come as they are. Oh well one dream shatters and a new one comes along bought a 66 Mercury Cyclone GT with a 390 and four on the floor man what a car.. It never ran the same after I wrapped it around a tree after having Jack Danials for breakfest on cold november day.
