Were you as hip as the people in the photo?

 

LOL... I doubt it.

1982 Peugeot 505 S

 

My first car was a Dodge Aires, a handmedown. boy did this car suck!

 

A 1968 Chevy Corvair. 3 on the floor. Unsafe at any speed :-)

 

1971 Chevy Vega 2300 Sunflower yellow

 

1969 Mercury Marquis Brougham sold to me by my grandfather for $1. 429 4 Barrel in it. Could watch the gas gauge move (hmmm not unlike my beloved F Type). Trunk was large enough to put three bodies in (as I'm sure the mob would agree) or about a dozen slightly inebriated college kids on a dare. It was a "boat" but had power everything and was actually cool to drive as a late teen.

 

My first car back in the 90s was the 1985 Nissan 300zx...Paid a lot of money for it....Its was one of the best sport cars I owned...

 

1974 mgb...a great first car.

 

I enjoyed my MGB as well.

 

My first was a 1962 Triumph TR4, purchased for $1100 in 1967.

 

This isn't my car but it is damn close. I had different Mags and it had air shocks in the back but otherwise this is identical, same color seats even. (Which I eventually painted black, blue interior just didn't grab me, but vinyl paint was another lesson I don't want to revisit).

 

a 2012 Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Yes, I am quite young...
(not my actual car, but it was identical)

 

In 1975, my first car was a 1962 Volkswagen Beetle. 1200cc's of power. Right-hand drive and passed from my Mom to myself. Looked just like this would look in a mirror.

 

65 Mustang inline 6, 3 speed. When you let the clutch out the whole car would shudder like a leaf in the wind it was so rusty. They didn't do so well in the salt. Memories for a lifetime.

 

The only difference - although it's so long ago I can't recall the interior color; its come to me: some sort of brown - is I had Crager wheels.

 

Another view...of my 1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350 (although this picture, and the one before, isn't of my car) which my dad purchased for me in 1974.

 

My first and last cars, both British and both red. But, my are they different when I lift the bonnets, and when I step on the GO pedal. Both have nice exhaust notes. One I can service myself and have for 50 years this year. The last one, no way.

 

Technically not my first car, but it was my first vehicle for several years until I turned 16...



And, when my high school had Farmer's Day - I was the only one to arrive in style.

(Meanwhile, MJM, love your TR4!)
