1972 chevy chevelle malibu 2 dr. ht. with 307 and 2 barrel 350 th. blue with black top and interior. Now I have a 1950 ford.
59 english ford prefect wagon, then 56 ford f-100 that's the one I want back so I just bought one in august that I am starting to work on (4DYRSL8R) 40 years later it will be a keeper/driver
First ride was a '55 Olds 2 dr htp but that wasn't cool enough back then so it left in favor of a '57 Bel Air that is still in my garage. Yeah, I know, ..... should have kept the Olds! But you gotta understand, .................. this was a looooooooooong time ago. Anyway, the B/A and I are becoming intimate again and hope to be back on the streets together next year.
This is my first ride back in '72, a 1959 Volvo 544 kinda like an old Ford. Bought it for $100 because it came with a new pair of studded snows and winter was around the corner. Drove it for a year and there wasn't one single day I didn't have to fix something on it. Learned a lot real quick.
I saw the title of this post a second ago,your name right after and knew right away you would add something real funny here.Ahhh...Nads,I love you.
My H. S. ride was a '34 PU. In 1959, I bought a pile of parts from a neighbor. It came with a complete drivable chassis and a Somerville, Mass (Ford operated rebuilding factory) fresh rebuild. Paid $150. Three years later I was tearing up the roads of S.E. Mass. Warmed over 21 stud, loud pipes and a big smile. I sold it in 1973 when my second child was born. 25 years later, I was contacted by the buyer. He had finally gotten around to finishing it. I was stunned to see how sweet it turned out. Attached are my before and his after look. The before pic is what it looked like when I got out of the USAF in 1966. I had it back together and running for six more years before I sold it. The after pic is what it looked like when Rebecca took this picture, at the Gathering of the Faithful, last Saturday
I built (for the 1st time) my '51 F-1 in high school and drove it most of my senior year. I still own it today. During the winter months I drove a '67 IH Scout which my bother later restored and still owns today.
Humm.... well, almost embarrassed by this... 91 saturn (hey, it was a DOHC at least) 93 escort gt 94 z24 cavalier saving grace: just finished redoing the brakes on my stocker 53 f100 and drove it to my graduation... still have it!!! <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
This was my first car, a 40 merc. I never finished it in time to drive it to school. I got it when I was 14. The 62 Fairlane was the one I drove during 11th grade. I bought a 65 mustang fastback then a 51 merc when I was a senior.
My HS rides were a 60 Renault Dalphine and a 60 Impala 2dr hardtop after the Renault was rear ended my buddy in his 57 Chevy. Got my first old car while in HS but didn't get it running and drivable until I was out of school. Don't have any photos of the 60 Chevy.

My ride in '72 was a RS/SS 67 camaro 350 4 spd. 32,000 original miles, fold down rear seat, disc brakes non power, yellow w/ black vinyl top. Real sweet ride. Ran 10.10 @ 97 mph at Champion 1/8 mile dragstrip spinning them most of the way!!!!
Almost had my buddies '72 Vega with wicked 350, 8 point cage, prostock hood scoop. My dad took one look at it & all I got was "HELL NO!!! NOT IN MY HOUSE" I ended up with an '83 Subaru Brat........ Ps. My therapist says I'll be OK in a few more sessions

Only 4 years, 3 of which I had my license. I would buy, trade, fix up, paint and repair vehicles as a way to earn a little money or when I got bored with what I was driving...
