1968 Ford Mustang with a 200 inline 6, with a c4 automatic. Seafoam green. I'll never forget that booger!It would barely move itself out of the way.

Mine was a hand-me-down from my mom - 1957 Plymouth Savoy, complete with big ol' tailfins, flathead 6 and pushbutton automatic tranny.

Traded it in a few months later for a baby blue 62 Ford Galaxy 500 convertible w/390; slight improvement in performance and style.

1960 VW Karmann Ghia. Got it in 1964. Would do 80 mph flat out. But it was fun and cheap to drive.

My parents had a little Mom & Pop motel on the gulf coast ( Florida ) and I traded some fishing stuff and and some money I'd saved from selling fish and got a Oldsmobile a 58 I think it was. It had the flat fins with two little round tailights on each side.

The fun part was is that it was ragtop but the material was all torn so we just tore the rest of it off and when it rained we would pull the frame up and keep on going. Guess you could imagine the looks we got, but at that time we had it made.

1950 Plymouth Deluxe, four door. Flat head 6, three speed on the column and a steering wheel as big as a wagon wheel.

Big black tank of a car. We called it the black lung.

1st daily driver was a 1993 S-10 that my father got for me, which was a salvage vehicle, and we had to put the motor and trans in it ourselves. Put in a 4.3L with a 5 speed, pretty strong considering how small the truck was.

1st cool car, which I got about 6 months later from my grandfather, a 1968 Bonneville Convertible. It has a 400 Pontiac with quadrajet carb, power windows & top, and power assist front disk brakes. Still got it today, currently has the front clip off of it waiting on the money for body work. Drivetrain is done, I start it up a few times a month to keep everything in good order.
