What was your first car?

[dghii]

The first car I could legally drive was a 1962 Mercury Comet rag top....white with white top and red interior. 6 cylinder, 2 speed automatic with a 1 barrel carb, Got a sweet 11-12 mpg!

The first car I bought with my own money, a few months later (1976) was an unmolested 1967 Mercury Cougar 289 automatic with 49,000 miles. Paid $900! I have to give my Dad credit for telling me about the car and helping with negotiations,appealing to the owner that this way my first car and I was buying it with my own hard earned money.

Biggest thing I remember was after getting my first paycheck after buying he car, I took it to a local garage for grease job and oil change. I bought a full tank of gas and had no money left to go anywhere for the next two weeks!
First car, hell, I'd have paid whatever they wanted!
