What was your first car?

[EvilBlackGun]

In 1956.

First vehicle (1954), 1941 Harley flat-head, prong-shifter tricycle Parking-Ticket dispenser at the police auction. I was looking for a bicycle I knew had been stolen. Kept it until graduating, and most of the time it was an experiment in Auto Shop. First title-transferred vehicle, 1932 Ford 5-window coupe, rumble-seat, roll-down rear window, swing-up wind-shield, one wind-shield-wiper, flat-head V-8 85-H.P., wire wheels including rear-mounted spare, oxide primer, no Bondo, canvas top, original bumpers, chrome, head-lights, park-lights, still had WWII ration-sticker on wind-shield, locking gas-cap. I paid $25 for it, put in a (6-Volt) battery and drove it home. Every mosquito in the county died that night from oil fumes. It ended up, full-fendered and channeled with a 327 Chevy in it, Model-A rear spring, and a two-speed differential, and I sold it for over $5,000. Wish I had not. Sold the ice-cream-scooter also.

1987 Ford Thunderbird with a 5.0HO(high output 302). Had a digital dash that the speedometer light burned out on. No idea how I didn't end up in jail from not knowing how fast I was going, other than as fast as it would go, 16yo + V8 =

Technically my first car was an 88 Buick LeSabre T-Type. I had it for a whopping 2 days before I blew the motor up being a jack@$$ kid. My dad was livid cause he had saved it for me for quite some time.

Those T-types were fantastic cars!!! My dad had one that he drove the wheels off of. I still see a few of them around every now and again.

Man...lot of seasoned citizens aboard INGO... hehe.

The first car that was "mine" was a 1987 Buick Somerset; gray ext, gray int, 3.0L V-6, one of the first electronic dash displays. It developed some interesting and intermittent stalling issues. I'd drive the 6 miles from school into town for work; first stoplight, it'd die on me. After I'd complain, my dad would drive the car for an entire week...and it'd never die on him. I'd get it back, and my first trip into town from school...it'd die. I used to pray for green lights. Got to the point where I'd have to make sure I was in Neutral when slowing to stop.

Next car was a 1990 Buick LeSabre 2-door. White ext, blue int, 3800 V-6. I drove that car until 2002/3 when it developed a terminal rod/bearing issue. I STILL miss that car.

First car I ever bought myself was a 1997 Chrysler Concorde; maroon ext, tan int. 3.5L V-6. That car was QUICK for being so big. Nice car...until it suffered from the all-too-common Chrysler Makes Crappy Transmission Syndrome.

This is what it looked like:

A 1941 Chevrolet coupe. My dad bought it for me in the spring for $25, I drove it around out in the fields all summer, and we sold it in the fall for $50. Learned a lot about driving with that old Chevy!

My first car that was solely mine was an 86 chevy sprint. It was a red 2 door hatchback with a grey drivers door. The windows were tinted so dark you had to roll them down at night to make sure no one was coming. I did love that car though. It was my ATH(all terrain hatchback) It died when the clutch went out. Cost as much as the car to replace. Luckily m aunt had the same car and had just gotten a different one so she gave me her 87 sprint. No tint, idled really high and just wasnt right. I only drove it for a couple weeks. I then started driving a 92 Astro Van(chick magnet) still in high school mind you. while driving around town I saw this house had a bunch of junk around it and 3 chevy srpints in the drive. I pulled in and went to the door. I told them I had 2 chevy sprints sitting at my house I needed to get rid of and asked if they were interested in buying. Sold both for $750. Made my dad happy. He had been on me for weeks to get rid of them.

68 Ford LTD.

Not a bad car really, it was a two door with the 390 4 barrel engine with dual exhaust. It was a good runner.

 

[zx6rman96]

1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby turbo, 5 speed manual. She was a pretty quick car

Mine was a 1989 Chevy Corsica. I really did like that car. When you hit the gas in that thing, you knew it.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Had, I think it was a 92 Corsica. Not a bad car at all, except the paint falling off. I think I got it over 170k before I sold it, then bought a Sig 230 with some of the money

 

[dcahsr23]

[Kitty]

'76 Chrysler Cordoba

 

[MrsXtremeVel]

I had a Burgandy 79 Cutlass with T-tops. The only drawback was the diesel engine in it. Not bad for a first car. I blew the engine up, kinda on purpose....it was tired My dad dropped a 350 in it. With the dual exhaust, air shocks, and Keystone classic rims, I was one cool 80's chick! It was also equip with Pioneer box speakers and a programmable 6 channel stereo with tape deck! I know.... You're all drooling!
