1954 Willys M38-A1 (Jeep, looks just like a CJ-5), still in its military colors. Very fun to drive through the ditches of Southern Minnesota.
My High School ride was a customized 1950 Chevy Fleetline. My dad had a body shop so we chromed every interior piece of metal. I lived in Lakewood, California and I sure wish I could find that old "50 again.
My avatar from '68-'70, still have it, hoping to have it back on the road next spring. Also had a '60 Ford 2door in '67. Got out of school in '70 and had a '64 Buick Skylark till I joined the Air Force in '71.
'55 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan (4 door). 272 and 3 on the tree. Parents bought it new at Drake Motor Co in Rockmart GA. Still have it, hoping to have it back on the road next year after about 20 years of sitting in the barn at my parent's house. It was originally white with green interior. In '68, I painted it '68 Ford Sunlit Gold with black roll and pleat interior. The seats and headliner look as good as the day they were put in.
<-------------------------------- One of them. Others were a 63 Tempest LeMans & a 64 Chevelle wagon. <---My girlfriends mother didn't like that one too much. I think thats the reason she still doesn't like me hahaha...
This was my first car. 1978 Monte Carlo with bucket seats, console, power windows and T-TOPS!!! I was 15 when I bought it. Over the next couple years I put in a stock 350 (original 305 smoked with 150k miles), replaced the interior carpet and had it repainted dark blue. The beginning of my senior year in October, '91, I was t-boned by a buddy of mine from school. I was traveling down a dark country road when it started pouring rain and I lost it in the corner. Just as I corrected he came around the corner and nailed me. Everyone was just a little soar. There were no hard feelings. Shit happens. Brian
It ranged from hand me down winter beater from my sister a 1986 Dodge Caravan with the wood sides, to my 64 Corvair Spider that I got when I was 16 and drove in the not snowy Syracuse weather. The Caravan got replaced by a '85 Camaro and by my senior year I still the Camaro, a 92 Mustang 5.0 and my Corvair....still have the Corvair.

Thanks to my folks for both of these. I took over the Merc from my mother, and bought the Olds new in '57 on their nickel (stick shift post sedan, too early for J-2). Both lowered and striped by Art Summers; mechanically stock:
i had a 64 bug i chopped later after skool but in skool it was stock and hammered with a 2375cc dual carb turbo motor
this isn't the car, but, it's an identical twin. right down to the wheels and tires. this one was on ebay a while back. it was very tempting. i'd like to have another one someday, just because.
1966 Mustang fastback 289 hi.po.4-speed,factory disc brakes,tach package and pony interior.Imagine what that car would be worth today.Traded it even up for a 65 Nova couple years later
In 10th and half of 11th grade it was my 72 Ford Maverick. I got the 51 in he middle of junior year. I then got my 69 F-100 about the last of junior year. I got it back on the road and plan to drive i the rest of senior year. I hoped to get the 51 drivable before I graduate but I doubt if it will happen
Here's a shot of my and my highschool ride. Its a 67 Dodge Charger. this pic was taken somewhere around 1980
you're daughter could do way worse than have a mustang could be a hyundai with the big four banger in it.
65 Mustang fastback 289 4 speed car. then I got a 69 roadchicken 440 4 speed car. Damn I wish I had them both. Then I had several diifferent 67 chevelles Sold the last chevelle 2 years ago.
'61 Falcon Sedan Delivery. Still have this one after 37 years. Second owner. That youngster by the car is yours truly . Same car after a few mods .
The blue '31 on the far left was actually my Dad's car. But since we built it together, I got to drive it when I had gas money. This was from '77-'80. and about a month after I graduated in '80, we got my pickup done enough to drive. Still have it.
