1962 Chevy wagon 6 cyl. 3 on the tree with a wrecked front fender. Living with my parents the mattress in the back had it's advantages. First dates were interesting, and they were often drive-in dates. Girls would see the mattress would ask me about it knowing just why I had it and I'd smile and say I liked it for camping out.

Awful. '55 Ford with electrical problems and Ohio cancer.
Base car was decent, V8, 3 on the tree, Mainline 2 door sedan. I'd like to have the same car (minus the rust) today. Not mine, but this is the body style.  Attached File |

It would be a blast! My first car was a 67 Barracuda.
Winter would sort of suck but, I'm retired so "F" it I can wait until the roads are plowed.

1999 Jeep Cherokee with a 4.0. That'd be cool. I got my current 2014 SUV back in 2016 from my mother in laws friend for like $4000 nothing wrong with it. The poor lady was just on her way out and she liked my son. I passed the good karma on to my stepdad when he wrecked his ride I sold the Jeep to him for $500 and a bottle of bourbon. He gave it to my little brother when he upgraded to a new Jeep. My little brother drove it with no license and it got impounded.

My first car was a 13 year old 1963 Dodge Dart 4 door with the 225 Slant Six and a push button automatic. Zero luxury items! Dependable as an anvil.
Driving that car for a year would not be a displeasure. I would love to have that car back. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I got my moms 1974 Monte Carlo. White, red interior. Same age as I was at 16, garage kept and only 62k miles! Mint condition. Comfortable ride, fun to open up that 4 barrel carburetor.  That's why I was constanly tearing the exhaust off.I also learn how awesome/terrible posi-traction was on snowy roads. Those old cars were very comfortable and smooth. I also had a 74 Cutlass Supreme(my pride and joy) and an '81 then '82 4dr Cutlass Supremes. Those were very comfortable and smooth as well. They all shared the same 350 Rocket from my '74 which got a '70 455. |

The first car had that I actually bought with my own money with a 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury. 13 miles per gallon but it could burn Rubber even with an automatic. I think it actually had electric windows but no air conditioning. Would be a comfortable ride until next summer when it would get kind of hot with a black vinyl roof.

68 road runner rebuilt by a 16 year old? I don't think it would last the full year without a whole lot of work. I rolled it after a few months, so I don't know what would be in store over the year.

I live in Florida. First car did not have A/C. So for 8-9 months it would be awful!! The other 3 or 4 would be AWESOME! My first car was 69 Camaro SS396 (L34, 350 Horsepower), 4 speed. Of course it had headers, glass packs, jacked in rear and Cragar wheels. Jensen 6x9 coaxial speakers blasting out Styx, Foreigner and whatever kind of rock on the fly 8-Track tape player!!
Interesting note: My girlfriend at the time used to sit on the hump straddling the gear shift. She used to like shifting the gears. Or, I'd shift and often my hand would slip off the shift knob when going in to fourth.  I kept a pillow for her to sit on. Of course we didn't wear no stinking seat belt. It was still mostly a free country in the 70's and if you wanted to die from not wearing seat belts if was your Gosh Darn right as a free citizen of America!!

My first car was a 1957 Plymouth Savoy.
I still have it and drive it regularly. I would say that if I drove again every day the lack of air conditioning would prove wearisome. |

Awful. I had a beat to pieces junked up Cougar I bought for $200 from my friend in 78. I used to buy used tires at the local tire shop/gas station from Goober. I would run it like an overgrown go cart until my tire went bad usually about a week, and then go buy another tire or two, did I mention I had no insurance either.

The roofliner had come unstuck, so I stuck it back up with thumbtacks so it looked like a plush sofa until you rolled the windows down and it started billowing in the wind. The engine would die sitting in traffic for too long on a hot day. Bought it for $1500 with 55,000 miles on it. Sold it 10,000 miles later for $2k. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.  Attached File |

I could definitely enjoy driving it again although I would probably spend quite a bit of time, money and effort sprucing it up. I would really get a kick out of driving it over and picking up my grandpa and taking him for a ride. It was his before it was mine. |

1970 VW Beetle. Rusted out floorboards, rusted out heater ducts.
It would suck, especially in the winter. I had that car only three months in the summer of 1980, then the engine seized up for some reason after driving it for eight hours straight. |
