1959 ford, had to trade it in after my dad took it to Juarez and "decorated" the steering wheel. The best part of the story is the car I traded for was a 265ci 3 speed on the column 55 CHEVY!!!!!

Life was good!

1972 Buick Skylark 4 door. Had a nice little 350 with bench seats that I managed to squeeze 9 people in. It came with Aftermarket wheels/tires and I added a paint job along with a nice stereo system. Traded a $400 mustang for it in 2002 and sold it for $2,000 in 2005. Only had about 56,000 miles on it. I miss that car. Most comfortable ride ever and you could steer it with one finger. It came back up for sale a couple years back but I didn't jump back on it.

'79 Ford Granada... It was a piece of crap. A wood stick held up the seat back and the vinyl roof was all ripped up.

1963 Corvair Spyder Coupe. White with Tan interior. Bought it in June 1964 and kept it until 1968 when I traded it for a 1968 Camaro RS. Wish that I still had both cars.

Mine was a 1967 Maroon Chevy Impala 4door with a 283ci. Now my 3rd car was a 1970 Dodge Challanger w/ 383 Magnum. I wish I still had THAT car.

My first car was a 1940 Ford 4 door sedan with suicide doors and a flat head V8. Sure am glad we are able to afford new cars and especially the
Vettes.
