First Cars??....................

Nothing special, just my dad’s hand-me-fowns. Boring Fords and ‘70s/‘80s Buick sedans.

First car driven was my grandpa’s 1948 Olds 88 Straight Eight with Hydramatic transmission when I was 10 (can’t say “tranny” anymore).

First car owned (in college) was a 1960 MGA roadster that looked like this one. Nice chick magnet, but not very practical when one actually got in it.

First car the wife & I bought together was this new 1967 Chevy Malibu coupe. Paid $2,685 for it. Second best car I ever had.

First vehicle I ever drove was our neighbor's mid-70's Chevy C10 while working on their farm when I was around 15. Damn near rolled the truck within the first 100 yards. Luckily I didn't. First owned was a '76 Camaro that taught me how to work on vehicles as I was too poor to bring it to a shop. Loved the 4 speed manual tranny but EPA regulations didn't do much for power. Ended up changing out the clutch 7 times before I figured out it had the wrong clutch fork in it. Got to where I could change out the clutch, in a parking lot, in under 2 hours by myself.

Wow that brings back a memory or two…..In 76 when just married, my wife’s car was a 66 Chevy II Nova 2 door 6 cylinder 3 on the tree her aunt had given her when she graduated high school in 72……..In 77 I bought a new Silverado pickup and let her drive it to work and I took the Nova and we had a love/hate relationship for several years and many miles but I learned how to pull and rebuild a Chevy 6 cylinder motor and later learned that you can actually replace a clutch and pressure plate by yourself in the winter, on your back in the street and make it work again….I tell my kids I graduated from FIT-DIT university which means, Fix it Tonight - Drive it Tomorrow……Years later for some stupid reason I sold that rust free Nova for $1500 dollars because we were moving back to Atlanta and needed the money and kick myself all the time for letting it go………

First car driven: My uncles 1948 3/4 ton GMC truck, straight six, 3 on the tree, geared very low, top speed was about 60.
First car owned: 1967 F-100, 390 4-V, 3 on the tree, gas hog. Later swapped out the 390 for a 302.
Favorite car owned: 1966 Mustang 6 cylinder 3 in the floor. Fun to drive. The wiper lever/switch near the dimmer switch was awesome.

Never owned a hotrod, got into motorcycles, and spent all my money on them.

And you’re still alive!
You must have been a pretty good donorcyclist.

My Dad's daily driver was a '50 chevy. had no rear floor mats, and there was a quarter-sized hole in the floor, so we kids took turns riding along with our eye pressed to the hole to watch the road go by. Never gave a thought to what might happen if debris flicked up . . .

74 years ago - Camp Hood (now Fort Hood), Texas.
Dad was CO of the 42nd Armored Battalion, 2nd Armored Division.

Our quarters were the first floor to the left - no insulation, no A/C of course.
Good times, good memories.
