What was your first vehicle? (Picture if you can)

Straight six Ford, 3 on the tree, maybe a Comet...so long ago I don't remember. I do recall that I bought it for $75.

3 on the tree, you don't see that anymore

[GH85Carrera]

1960 VW bug with the mighty 36 hp engine. 0 to 60 was maybe, if no headwind. With a tailwind it was 72 seconds. With a headwind it was not going to happen.

[Sooner or later]

Deep blue 1967 Mustang coupe. 289

77 Camaro, rust holes.

Mine was a 1959 or 60 version without a gas gauge.

While tectonic plates could beat it in zero to something, it was mine and got me off the ranch. I loved it so. I bought from a friend of my father's who was transitioning to a job in DC: $139 scooters, the price of a one-way ticket from LAX to DCA in those days.

Close proximity:

'65 Corvair Monza.
An automatic with the little lever on the dashboard.

If it's still out there, it probably looks like this by now.

The first car I owned was a 1953 HenryJ. I wasn't old enough to drive it off the farm.



Dad sold my HenryJ when we left the farm. When I was 16 I bought a 1960 VW Beetle for $600.

Like this one..but with air in the tires and much more rust.
(I considered this color to be "red". Friends always called it "orange". It was a issue of contention.)

1959 Austin Healey 100-6, got it in 75' and just sold it last fall! Didn't drive it for over 20 years and didn't see me driving it again, so I sold it. Don't miss it at all.
