Post a pic of your first car...

1969 Nova looked just like this one.

[auntAgonist]

1. 1969 Ford Mustang

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. 1964 Chevrolet Impala.

It was stolen in 1971 and never recovered. :(

[NMDemDist2]

28. I had one ot those, sweet car! n/t

[libnnc]

3. 1977 AMC Hornet station wagon

Mine was white with fake wood paneling on the sides.

[ChoralScholar]

4. 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale

Mine was a little darker color, maybe a charcoal.


The interior was exactly like this:


I loved that car. <sniff>

[Onlooker]

5. AMC Gremlin

Not sure of the year, but probably around 1970. This isn't my car, but it looks like it:



The seats were so thin and uncomfortable that even when I was 18 years old I noticed it. Never got it to go faster than 95 (that was before we were such a neurotic society), because at that speed it started to vibrate like crazy. Sold it to my sister at around 90,000 miles, and she sold it to someone else at 130,000. It was nearly totaled when I got hit on the side by a truck that was going 5 mph, but my brother-in-law at the time was a mechanic, and he put it back together. It was a very distinctive car that I liked in part because so few others liked it.

6. 1965 Impala Super Sport

327-4bbl, powerglide 2 speed, 411 posi rear end, dual exhaust.

Mine was black with a black interior.

[GalleryGod]

[In_The_Wind]

8. 260 Z

[politicat]

9. 1976 Buick Skyhawk

Mine was a gorgeous shade of burgundy.

She had 127,000 on the clock when I got her in 1992, right before I went to college, and I drove her until 2000, when a rubber oil sending unit part dried out and couldn't be replaced. By then, she had not quite 300,000 miles, had suffered through a transmission replacement operation, having her tires slashed, her heater core melting down, an alternator, a water pump, getting sideswiped while parked by a drunk driver (no frame damage, and the rear quarter panel popped right back out...), having a child run out in front of us and thus we swerved to miss said kid and hitting a cinderblock wall at about 20 mph (wall fell over - no rebar. We had a couple of scratches on the bumper.), a timing chain operation, hitting a couch on the freeway...

I loved that car, not least because I could work on her. Not great in the snow, being rear wheel drive, but she got 27 MPG and had a top speed of about 130 mph. She could also carry all of the equipment for two people for a real medieval encampment.

[Redstone]

10. First legal one was a '53 Chevy. Had a '55 when I was 15, but sold it

before I got my license.

Redstone

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Mine looked very much like this

It had a 283, though, not a 427.

Retro, greatauntoftriplets and I should start a 4-5-6 club. :thumbsup:

[Bunny]

12. This was my first car, right down to the Big Bird Yellow color:

I did not, however, wreck it. Ouch.

[seemunkee]

13. Fiat 850 coupe

Mine was beige

[Left Is Write]

14. 1975 Buick Century...

This one isn't mine, but I don't have any pictures of mine. Mine was two-tone green.

[5thGenDemocrat]

15. Picture posting tard here

My first car was a 1961 Dodge Lancer (four-door, green Crayola crayon green).
The first car I put on the road legally was a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere (beige, also four-door). I bought it from my Grandmother G for $240 and it was a real hot rod. I still miss it today.

Pictures of either or both would be swell.
It is now 124 days, 19 hours and 46 minutes to FUNDAY.

[liberalitch]

21. Look here and remember.....

Your lancer?


Something like your belvedere?

[Buck Turgidson]

16. Black is best, baby!

[billyskank]

17. LOL! You had to ask...

The mighty Zastava (Yugo) Sana 1.4L:

[WolverineDG]

19. 1978 Light Blue Metallic Volare Coupe

Slant-six engine was great. The rest of the car? :shrug:

[DawgHouse]

37. Oh no! I've got the Volare jingle stuck in my head now!

:)

[lizziegrace]

43. Hehehe

And my father had a Cordoba. What does THAT do to your head? "Rich Corinthian Leather"

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

44. Remember the ad for the Dodge Aspen?

"How's your Aspen?"

:)

[liberalitch]

20. Except it was a powder blue B210

[DainBramaged]

22. 1959 Impala 4dr. 283 powerglide

Cost $300 in 1966, put dual corvair Turbo exhausts on it, a 327 4bbl cast iron manifold and AFB on it, and later on Pontiac 1.6 rockers for a bit more lift. Was a lot of fun for 3 years. It was the same turquoise color as this junkyard one.

[Whoa_Nelly]

23. 1972 VW camper bought new in '72

Mine didn't have the pop top, but it was this color which was called Butterscotch back then.

Loved it! Traveled and pretty much lived in it from 1972-75.

[Hand]

24. 1966 VW Bus...

Truly a POS. What the hell was I thinking?

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Okay

[Giant Robot]

33. Hats off to you Mrs G

My first car was a 1981(?) Renault 18i. I just googled it and still can't find a pic of my car, thats how popular it was here in the states. My best friend back then and I both owned Renaults, although his was an Alliance.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Hi GR! My brother drove a LeCar...all 6'4" of him!

:) it made a funny sight. My father had the 87 Alliance hatchback. :hi:

[texas1928]

26. 1971 Oldsmoblie Station wagon

http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/1971_Olds_Vista_Cruiser.html

Just like the one on that 70's show.

[NMDemDist2]

27. 1954 Bel Aire 4door (one year older than I was) in 1971 in this color even

It would only start if you pushed it, I gave the guy $75 and grounded the battery to the block and she ran for 4 years, then the engine was put into a pickup and last I heard was still running 3 years after that. I spent $20 more at the "U Pick" junk yard to get some handles and knobs and door panels and off I went!

Had a 3 spd on the column that you had to rest your arm on in 3rd gear cuz the shifting forks were shot and I couldn't get parts (or afford to get on machined for me)

I loved that car

[GOPisEvil]

29. Mine was a 1980 Datsun 210 Hatchback in lovely orange.

It looked like the one pictured on top, here, although this is a '79.

[Blue_In_AK]

30. Mine looked something like this...

1954 Mercury, black with red interior.

[SeattleGirl]

31. Early 60's Corvair

Mine was white. My parents gave it to me as my high school graduation present. Dad bought it for $50, and fixed it up. Ran fabulously.

[qnr]

32. 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 (and a 74 GT 2000 Spider too)

[Maestro]

[maveric]

41. 1965 Rambler Ambassador, Convertible. Bought it for $50.00 in 1976.
