1964 Ford Galaxie 500.

Never got a picture of it
Only had it three weeks when my brother borrowed it to drive into town and totaled it
Three years later he came to me asking to borrow my pickup I owned at that time
He totaled that one.
In the last thirty years he's never driven another of my vehicles

Here it is just before I traded it in (on the left, Mazda MX-3). It was 17 years old at that point, and mechanically there wasn't all that much wrong with it - the AC stopped working but it ran fine.

It had rusted out floor boards which meant getting splashed in the face when driving through standing water but I loved that car.

Nice to see those Galaxy 500s! My first was a "67" jacked up on air shocks with Mickey Thompson N50s. Second one was a black "64" like eracers.

My dad had one like this that I bought from him when I was 17. I drove it for 18 years before I gave it to my younger brother. He still has it.

I dont mean to brag, but it had a turbo switch. Got a fine lady in your car? Just pop that puppy into turbo and let her know what 91.6HP sounds like. Want to be more financially responsible with your minimum wage money? Fret not my friend, with the flip of a switch you are back to the 40hp leaf blower engine.

Did I mention the always annoying and never comfortable AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS?! Oh yeah..

79 Fox Body Mustang, Red. Exactly like this one. It was in poor condition though and I got it when I was in High School at 16 but we had to get rid of it as the repairs were too much

I wanna get another one!

People ask me what my first car was, and when I say Dodge Charger, they think of some bad ass muscle car. Mine was an '83 model. It was brown, we called it the 'Brown Trout'

Bought it new in 1973, $2195.00, payments were $95/month for 3 years.
