My first car was a '62 Falcon, about as stripp-o as you could get. 144, 3 in the tree, no radio, vacuum wipers. Couldn't get out of it's own way. Got it in the summer between my junior & senior years of HS, had an after-school job & needed something to get me there. All in all a pretty lousy car, no desire for another one.
My first Mopar was a '71 Duster, 318 stick. First (and only) new vehicle I've ever owned. Put 278k on it over the next 13 years. When I finally parked it, the floor was so rusted out I was afraid I'd hit a pothole just right and the car would break in half. Never did though.
Had some good times in that car. :D
