In 1974 I bought a baby blue 1963 Ford Thunderbird. Pass everything on the road but a gas station.

62 Corvair - I think someone paid me to take it; very strange little car which is why it appealed to me, just sent it to the crusher a few months ago.

When I returned to the States after a year in Korea in Jan 1966 (courtesy of the US Army) I bought my first car and got my driver's license about two weeks later.

It was a 1957 Plymouth with the push button transmission next to the driver's wing window. Lots of rust on the body but I drove it from Los Angeles to Fort Carson, Colorado without a problem. In winter, it was January after all.

During the eighteen months I was at Carson I upgraded all the way to a 1959 Ford Galaxy 500. Had that car for about three more years.

A 1989 Fiat Uno 3 door hatchback bought in 1994. It was metalic blue, had a 1 litre engine and I had it for about 4 years. When I traded it in it had almost 100,000 miles on the clock.

1963 Ply Valiant, slant six, 3 speed on floor, station wagon. Jet black and I put a road runner emblem on the sides

Rachelle

'81 Volkswagon Rabbit, 4-dr, 5-speed. Her name was Bobbi and she could move. I loved that little car. I sold her to a friend who promptly drove her 500 miles at full speed in 3rd gear. She did not die an honorable death. She went up in flames on the side of Interstate 65. Very sad. Very sad.

What was a seatbelt back then?? It was where you left your belt after doing the goodlove thing.

Ramjet

In 1970, a 1956 Chevy Belair 210 2 door sedan. After all was said and done, it had a 327 at about 500 hp and would pull the wheelsoff the ground. It would rev close to 11,000. Damn I miss that car.

'87 Chevette in 1996. Pale yellow w/ automatic tranny.
On a good day, downhill, with a tailwind, I think I saw it get to 73mph one time. What a piece of crap.
