Paul, is that a Fiat Spyder?

Love the car!


good to see you started at 14. My mom was a bit concerned when I was 13 as I had the Austin A40 truck, the Mini in the earlier pic and a 200cc motorbike and a number of guns. LOL no wonder she wasn't happy!

Looks to me like a Renault Caravelle. My older sister had one in the late 60's.

My first car was a 1975 Fiat 128 2 door sedan. Served me well and my 2 nephews that wound up driving it in the ground afterwards.

Ah, thanks. Great looking car.

My uncle was a Fiat guy and got his daughter a 128. It worked out well for her too. Something "right" about it.

My aunt sent me her old 1970 Plymouth Satellite. It looked just like this, but with a 318. I only drove it a few times because my older brother took the car.

My first car also. This is a pic of it after a bee flew in the window and landed on my crotch.



Replaced it with this:

Same color as mine.


Hmm, had the same car. Bought it in 1970 with around 20k miles. Red and black. One of the best cars I have owned. Just needed to keep oil in the carb floats. Sold it to buy a '72 Dodge van, 3 on the tree. Big mistake

1974 Corolla. There is actually quite the following on these now. Fun car when you are 16 and live in the country with lots of winding back roads.

First vehicle for me was a '62 Cub 50. The cub 50 is the most successful motorcycle in history.
Except mine was blue
