Title: First car I remember riding in
Post by: Rash on August 06, 2011, 11:10:08 AM

My moms 65 GTO,  I don't remember wearing seat belt, think I would just stand in the front seat a look around.  She would bribe me to sit, by letting me shift gears.  I got her right arm a lot, when she had to stop fast.

My grand parent's 1948 Plymouth 4dr sedan is the first car I recall, but my dad's 1949 Oldsmobile is right there too. My mom's 1951 Henry J is also prominent in my memory. My grandfather kept that Plymouth until 1957, when he bought a new '57 Chevy 4dr sedan. The '49 Olds was replaced with a canary yellow '53 Caddy Coupe DeVille, then later, a '57 Caddy. My parents kept the Henry J until dad bought my mom a new 1958 Ford station wagon.

Yeah... I'm an old poop.

Dad had to get rid of it when my twin brothers came along and got a 1950 Ford.

Dad's 51 Mercury 2dr chopped top, suicide doors, zoomie pipes, with plugs to ignite fuel in the pipes, It sat a cigarette pack off the ground ( dad's 50's lingo) solid spun wheel covers. i loved that car and hoped i would get it when i turned 16 but mom had her way and they traded it in on a mercury montclair ( slanted automatic back window) which was cool the the drive-in's dad would roll the back window down and we would pop our bodies out the window and watch the Movie.  good days good times  :rock

That's the Opel Commodore (not to be confused with the Holden Commodore). Quite a hot ride for it's day on German streets, the following family cars my dad was allowed to buy after my birth had to be much more economical and reasonable ;)

First cars I really have any memory of what-so-ever from when I was a child were my dad's VW's, namely a 1962 Beatle, pretty much exactly like the one pictured here, except ours had the factory cloth sunroof...

(http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/Volkswagen/62_VW_Bug_DV_05_PVGP_01.jpg)

and a '73 VW Squareback, like this but if I remember correctly just a little darker blue:

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TsdjySqKQlI/SzFTqNCxpRI/AAAAAAAABLc/l1LbFsI5db8/s400/1973+Volkswagen+Squareback+Wagon.+-+1.jpg).

The first car that I ever rode in that really "lit a fire in me" was my uncle's 1959 Triumph TR3a......

(http://images1.americanlisted.com/nlarge/1959_triumph_tr3_28107833.jpg)

and that TR3 was the first car I ever drove, when he let me take the wheel around their neighborhood when I was about 14......

which led me to my first car ever, a 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500.......

my Spitfire, circa about 1988..

Not quite as glamorous or as pretty as some of the rpevious ones... we finally had to get rid of this good ol' tank this past november. It was over 15 years old. It was a real tank-- rear ended countless times... Had always wanted to drive it. But alas, the transmission dropped. :( :cry

Never got stuck in the snow ONCE. :D
