Your First Car??

My first car was a 1965 Buick Skylark 4 door that I bought from the original owner - a little old lady who cried when her daughter sold it to me. It had a 2 speed powerglide type tranny and an 300 CID "nailhead" engine. I used to be able to load about 30 of my friends in that thing and go cruising. Ok, maybe not 30 but it would fit 7 or 8 people comfortably. I named it "BOB" (Big Old Buick), and we used to go off-roading with it. If I stood on the gas it would chirp the tires from 1st to 2nd gear. I used to be able to take the key out of the ignition one it was started, and then my brother discovered that it could be started with a screwdriver so he used to take it for joyrides when I wasn't around.

The ashtrays in the back seat were stuffed with roaches when I got the car, I guess the old lady's grandkids used to use the car.
