Yep paid $1 for my first car. A 68 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon. I paid the insurance which wasn't too bad for an old dented up land barge and minimum coverage. No sense carrying anything more since any damage would total it costing only $1.

Dad told me take it to a local Texaco full service station he used to get gas and just tell them my name. That was great not having to have money in my pocket for gas right up until Dad had me pay him my part of the bill, ouch. Then I started filling up that 8mpg behemoth at the cheap self service stations.

About that time Dad bought a new Plymouth wagon and got every option except tires. He put Michelins on it. I had them mount the new tires that came on the Plymouth wagon on my Ford wagon. The rims were the same, but the tires were bigger from the Plymouth. if you turned the wheel all the way they rubbed just a little.
