What was the 1st car you rode in?

1957 Fairlane, Downey CA.

 

i came home in a 49 ford buisnes cp. w/51 merc,2 stroms and smittys.the year was1953. i hope i wasnt in the back. however i do have great memories bak there, of standing on the hump and hanging on to the seat as my dad ran throuh the gears. wich may explain alot.....good times.

 

Well, its not ours .. Dad sold it to little Jimmy the roto rooter guy
Last seen in about 1965 , with turd hearders hanging out of the trunk

 

No you said you were embarrassed to admit it........but I'm not.


I OWN A 58 CHEVY BISCAYNE!!!

 

Well, em bare assed to admit I'm 48 really.

 

28 A roadster

 

Pretty sure it was a '55 Ford convertible, my Mom's car.

I think it was dark blue or something from my faded memories of it, it got traded in on a spankin'-new red and white '64 VW microbus for haulin' the family around when I was about 5 years old.

But I do remember the back seat was always full of leaves from the tree it was parked under next to the curb. The plastic back window was probably impossible to zip back up or missing altogether.

 

what about my mom??? i rode around in her for nine months!!!she was pre 65 and if you were to meet her, you would know she was all hopped up too!!!

 

brought home in a 55/56 customline, travel around in a 34 ford pickup for the 9 months of my "baking" period. dad tore it down soon after my birth and its been in our garage ever since, its next in line after my chev is complete.. i hope

 

49 Studebaker....Only thing I remember about that car was smashing my finger in the door. I was about 3.

Somewhere, I have a picture of me...about 1, sitting in my dads BSA sidecar in England.

 

A 59 Fury convert, white with red interior. Must have been brand new, early prodution, because I was born in Sept [11]58, he swears it had a Hemi in it, I didn't they had them in 59 cars. Odd part is, my Mom got all the tickets in it. They kept it until 61 and got a new 61 Dynamic 88 bubble top. Loved that car. Want to find one someday.

 

I'm pretty sure that I rode home from the hospital in a soon to be totaled 1978 chrysler cordoba. When I was a few months old we bought a bran spankin new 1988 Jeep Cherokee XJ!

 

The earliest car I can remember was my old man's 38 LaSalle sedan. I'm am old fart so I probably came home from the hospital in it.

 

I don't remember it but I would assume the first car I rode in was my grandfather's 34 Ford 2-door sedan that I managed to put a dent in the driver's side rear fender while honing my driving skills at the age of 10.I can still feel the ass-whippin' I got for that stunt.

The second one I will ALWAYS remember:I was five years old and my aunt Verna and Uncle Al came to visit us with their 1947 Lincoln Continental convertible.I was fascinated with the push button doors(no outside handles)and power windows that I ran up and down a dozen times at least.

I also remember the first car I drove on the street(at 11 years old)was a friend of mine's older sister's 54 Ford.I was helping his older brother put an engine in his 53 Ford and was using her car to run for parts.He needed a pack of cigarettes and I didn't want to walk to the store to get them so he threw me the keys to her car and said to take it.

I almost made it back to the garage and got stopped by the cops.They wanted to know why I was driving the car so I told them I didn't want to walk to the store so I used the car.They wound up taking me home rather than to the police station because they knew my grandfather and knew I'd get an ass-kicking.They weren't wrong.

 

My grand fathers Supercharged Goldenhawk Stude

 

33 desoto sedan was my ride home, And a few months later it was also my first encounter with a drunk driver!the folks got hit head on by a drunk.I was in a carbed that hung from the back of the back seat .They were looking for me all over the place because they thought I was thrown from wreck.eventually things got calm enough to hear me crying in the trunk!the rear seat folded down for loading long things in the trunk sort of like a station wagon.the guess is as the seat came forward I was flipped over the top ,when the car came to a stop the seat went back into place

 

Came home from the hospital in Grandmas 1963 Corvair Spyder Convertible w/ the Elvis Presley seat covers

 

Came home from the hospital in my parents '61 bubble top Bel Air. 348,3X2,4 spd. Ordered stripped down for speed in '60 and picked up on Christmas Eve in Sanger, Ca. (the car, not me).

 

I don't remember it of course, my Mom still had her parents hand me down Hupmobile..the first car I remember was a 57 Chevy 2DR.210 stationwagon that was white and my Dad painted the fin section black.....

 

We were very poor my Dad didn't get a car until
my older brother and him went into parrtnership
to buy one. The first ride I remember was a 48 Buick conv.
my brother told me it had a automatic transmission
I was riding in the front seat in the center staring at the
shift lever waiting for something to happen.

71 Duster....Dont remember what mil was in it....but it was wicked fast, pop tought my mom to drive in that car....hadda 90lb racing clutch in it, he said he laughed his ass off, so hard he got kicked out of the car, thats when she realized that if she gassed it and dumped the clutch the real action started...that was about a year before I was born. we had that car till I was 7 or 8...(I was born in 76)

 

I can remember standing beside my dad in the front seat of a 51 four door gray mercury.That was long before it was bad to have your kid out of a child safety seat.Child safely...Ha!!

 

Can't remember what my first car I rode in I beleive it was a Chevy Blazer but I do remember my first hot rod it was 32 Chevy 2 door sedan.

 

I am to old to remember. But the first model I built was a 57 Chevy than went on to the Orange Crate..

 

1962 Corvette.

They brought me home from the hospital in Oct. 1969. No car seat. no seatbelts. At least the hardtop was on!!!

The next summer, my parents took me to the very first Street Rod Nationals in Peoria. We drove all the way from Kansas City in the Corvette. Still , no car seat, no sealtbelts, ect.

My dad joined the N.S.R.A there and we have "attended" every Street Rod Nationals.

No we werent in a street rod at the first one, but we were there.

Corvette is long gone... replaced by a couple of 32 Ford coupes.

 

Came home from the hospital in a 56 Oldsmobile, gunmetal grey

 

the one I remember was my dad's dark blue 46 ford 2dr sedan. I wish he still had that one.

 

Those must have been the seat covers that inspired the cow skin covers...lol

 

47 Chevrolet but the car I remember most was a 50 Ford pickup that got traded back and forth between my Dad and Uncle several times over the years. Both my cousin and I learned to drive in it. We were pretty young and generally confined to fields and stock feeding though we slipped off to the big city a couple of times (big city haha one street, a bar, a general store gas station shop, a cemetery, and a church) We once took a trip from Tensleep, Wyoming to Chase City, Va. Mom, Dad, little sister and me. Sis road most of the way standing up or sitting on the Jockey box lid. we always said she walked across America. Thanks for the nostalgia

 

A 1950 shoebox.HaHA and that is the truth. swaZZie
