    1953 Buick Roadmaster. Drove it to high school after my Grandpa passed away. Lots of room in the backseat.

      First vehicle? A 1965, 90cc Honda motorcycle. Got that back in 1969. I’ve graduated to bigger and better bikes but I’m still riding.

      My first car was a 68 Ford Falcon station wagon. Paid 200 dollars for that in 1971. Dad said, “I know it’s only a station wagon and not a cool car but it’s yours and it’s paid for.” I said, “Naw dad, it’s great, black out the back windows and throw a mattress in the back, it’s rockin.” Dad wasn’t impressed.

After I had an incident with an oncoming car and a telephone pole the passenger side door had to just be wired shut. It got me around just fine though for a couple years.

        Don't have a good picture of it, this is best I can come up with. It got me where I needed to go and a few places I didn't need to

          1973 Chrysler Station wagon. Put 50's with kragers on the back. FM converter. Pee green. Girls called it the pickle. Back seat folded down. Kept sleeping bags in the back. My high school driving ed instructor side swiped me and insurance co totaled the car.

            Yours was the classy model.
            1959 Chevy Biscayne, bought for $100 in 1966.

            They're kinda sharp now but were the ugliest car on the road back then IMO.
            Was better than walking.

                81 short bed Chevy with a 305 in it. Parents said they’d pay for the truck and the rest was on me. Got it for $2k if I recall. I put lots of money in it(compared to my minimum wage job during the summer and after school). Put AC in it. Tricked out the motor. And it was a POS still

                Wish I had that back. I’d love to turn it into a land missile

                    1963 Chevy. 3 on the tree that was converted to the floor. No power steering. No ac. Bought it in 1994. Then bought a 1989 Chevy. Loved that truck. Had to pay for vehicles myself. One of the best lessons I could have received. Made me appreciate my stuff that much more.

                        White 1995 Chevrolet 2500
                        No pics on my phone but looked real similar to this with a homemade replacement bumper on the front.

                          No pics of it, but I did buy/restore another later in life. Brought back a lot of memories.

                          Tiny, fun to drive, but rougher than a cob.

                          That is cool! My dad had one in the late 70’s.
