Vehicles

What was the first vehicle you owned?

Mine was a Mini 1275E, metallic blue. It gave me a bit of trouble with the needle & seat periodically, apart from that a really great little car. One rainy day a guy turned in front of me...I was not injured but the car was a write-off. Looked like this

Not this particular car, but this model Rx7.. I owned a dozen of them

1957 Chevy Apache like in the picture.

 

[76 Bar]

Borgward Station Wagon. Purchased with a ton of miles in 1965...manufacture date unknown.

One just like this. 175k miles. Ran like a top. But I sure didn’t like it. A LWB when you’re in high school isn’t near as cool as it is when you grow up and start working out of it!

Mine was a '52 Ford pick up. On its second or third motor. Had a Mercury flat head 8. It was ugly lime green and someone had put Mallard duck decals on both doors. A half dollar size hole in the wind shield low down in front of the steering wheel. A chick magnet it wasn't.

 

[Caustic Burno]

I did have one chick magnet. I had a 69 GTO, wish I still did.
Totaled it on a cow in 1973 one dark night. I might should have said cows as it was a five car pile up. Looked like an audition for a Dukes of Hazard show.

55 was grey and red primer with no bumpers chrome reverse wheels.. Looked like todays rat rod before it was popular...

Chevy SS Cherry Red with white racing stripes had to be the coolest of the muscle cars. Super Bee in 68 was bad to the bone as well IMOO.

56 rambler classic. What a ride. Gave 50 bucks for it put on a used tire and battery and drove that slant 6 into the ground. Blew out the rear diff racing a 69 396 ss chevelle cause kids are dumb.

Mopars muscle cars hard too beat..I've away been a closet mopar man ....

 

[Caustic Burno]

Cousin had a 68 Super Bee with a 383 Magnum with three deuces.
Lawdy that car was scary fast.

 

[Caustic Burno]

68 Olds 442 were pretty cool looking as well. Never seen one as quick as the Mopars or most of the GM’s. I can’t remember the power plant. The 442 stood for four barrel, 4 speed and dual exhaust.

 

[Bright Raven]

A 1959 Chevrolet Impala. Man, I don't think any model of car has every had wings like the 1959 Impala. I paid $200 for it in 1969.

 

[JW IN VA]

1968 Ford Mustang 289 with 3 speed C4 automatic.Wished it had a four speed but served me well for years.

 

[snoopdog]

69 chevy Nova/SS with the 396
