The First Three Cars You Owned

[LAKOTA169]

My first car was a '54 Merc. Bought oil in bulk cans. Had it for a few months and traded it for a '59 Pontiac Catalina. My third car was also my first new car. A new '64 GTO with tripower and 4 speed. Kept the '59 as a second car.

My first was a 1960 Thunderbird (got 15 kids in it on a field trip once, more than went in the bus!). Junked it after I was done with it.

Next was a 1965 tbird, 390, leather buckets, landau top, man was it fast! Traded it for a

1968 MGBGT. Spent a week a month running and three weeks a month on blocks. I got so I could remove, tear down, rebuild, and replace the generator in about ab hour. Fun car, but demon possessed! Lucas (or was that Lucifer) electricals.....

My son was over here in my ear complaining that his car wasn't up there. He's only had one. Not sure the make, we got it second hand, the mileage is good depending on how much he eats, it could use some new rims though.

1. 1970 Torino Cobra 429 4 speed. Awsome first car for a 17 yr. old kid.
2. 1973 GTO 400 automatic.
3. 1973 K5 Blazer 307 3 on the tree.

I worked 2 part time jobs at gas stations to pay for the Torino and keep gas in the tank. This was in 1974, my senior year in high school. In 1976 it was turning into a rust bucket so I traded it on the GTO. I only had it a year and needed a 4x4 for work so it got traded on the Blazer.

The first car I had was a 1929 Ford Model A Roadster. Not this one....but close.

The next one was a 1962 VW Beetle. Again, not this one, but almost identical.

The third was a 1963 Chevy Bel Air.

Florida Guy, I don't know how you fit in that MG Midget either. In 1971 my buddy and I took his 1967 Midget on a two week tour of Lake Huron. We managed the bare essentials and a pup tent in the trunk. We even spent one night sleeping in that little car during a rain storm and too poor to afford a motel.
It was a great time in that little car and a time I'll never forget driving top down and not a care in the world.
