Mine was a Ford Mustang II which was very similar to this that was a gift to me from my parents shortly after I turned 16 in 1978. I'm not sure why it's labeled a "powerful car" in this photo as mine was a hunk of junk that soon made it to the junkyard. Then again, that's what first cars are for as I did drive the living sh*t out of it in those days and on most occasions, it most definitely made it from Point A to Point B.

1964 Rambler Classic
Color "rust" - as in covered with a lot of rust
3 speed on the column
$650 in 1979

1961 black plymouth valiant with red interior and push-button transmission. LOVED that car!

1964 Ford Falcon - "The Red Tank"
First class stereo with 8 track (with slide mount) cost more than the vehicle.

Nothing nearly so cool.

Plymouth Colt.

1970 (i think) Maverick. It was a neon bright yellowish orange ( think school bus w a hint of orange) w black stripes. Not my choice...i wanted the super cool powder blue rag top karman ghia....sigh!

1982 Mercury Cougar 4 door. The 4 door models were quite rare.

1977 Volkswagen Rabbit. This looks just like what I had. I cashed in $1000 in savings bonds that were given to me when I was born, my dad co-signed the loan for the rest. Loved the car, until someone put sugar in the gas tank.

1950 Ford F-150



Upgraded to one of these



Wish I had them both back.

Mine was a silver 1981 Chevy Monte Carlo woth a burgundy landau roof.
I was given the option of a help to buy a car or a graduation party. I opted for neither and asked to have that car that was sitting in our driveway for five years.
My dad and I scraped it down to bare metal, repainted it, dropped a cheap motor in itand was good to go. Man i miss that beast.

I bought one of those pieces of garbage when I live in Milwaukee from a so called "friend" for $300...had to use bungie cords to keep the doors shut, and it was brown making it even more embarassing. Probably not my best investment.

84 Camero

I think car manufactures need to bring chrone back. Looking at your pic I forgot that I had chrome rocker panels.

500$ 69 Toyota Corona for student teaching in '74.In 2 months it broke down or wouldn't even start 13 times!In one week,the drive shaft snapped and the clutch fell apart,in pieces when we pulled it.The first day of teaching,in sight of the school,the horn shorted and blared one long honk till I tore out the wires.

Close enough.... I had an 85

Upgraded to this beauty not too long after

Same Color.... but mine was an 86. with a picture painting in the window of a old bald guy flipping everyone off while grabbing his crotch.

Had way too many good times in that car.

1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe. I paid $800.00 for it.
I wish I still had it. I sold it when I left for the Navy in 1970.
Mine was a little darker blue than the one in this photo.

1963 Chevy Bel Air station wagon, it was about the same color as this one but without the roof rack.
