1959 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe
1958 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan
1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Four Door Landau
1957 Buick Roadmaster 2 Door Hardtop
etc, etc.
Not pictured was a 1958 Impala hardtop wh ich I could not buy.
what were your experiences with your early autos?
My first car was 1959 Oldsmobile 98 which I bought in 1964. It was a monster at 5,500 lps. but had such a large engine that you "speel out" (? spelling) from a stop. Of course I could only get 8 MPG but then gas was under $.35 a gal.
My next car was a 1964 chevy Malibu yeloow convertible which I bought in 1968. one of my favorites.
In 1971 I bought a 1959 VolksWagon camper which I rode accross the country when I finished college and quit my job to take a "sabbatical" but that is another story.
In 1971 I I went back to a full time job and bought my first new car: a Mercury capri with four on the floor but only had 2,000 CC engine. But it was quick.
How about your experiences with your early cars?
