mine was a 53 Pontiac 2-door, green, straight 8, three on the tree. This was in 1972.
Can't attach a pic as I cannot make them small enough to work on this forum

like this one?? Very similar to that, but you have the upscale model pictured. Mine didn't have the lighted hood ornament, but just the chrome one. Still have it too! Mine had no radio, and dog dish hubcaps. Got it before I was 16, and my dad helped me get the bugs out mainly in the form of rockers, brakes, and some floor boards. Prior to this I had a series of field cars including a 54 Coronet with Hemi, 59, 63, and 64 Rambler, 2 Corvairs, Karman Ghia, 61 Comet, 63 Plymouth with a slant 6 and we put dual wheels in the back, and a few others I cannot remember them all. Some lasted mere days, some lasted all season. We had them at a friends house, my parents never found out. Bought from anywheres from $5 to $20 each, and hauled away for nothing. We set up barrels anbd railroad ties to teach ourselves how to parallell park. One time we were out with 2 cars and buried one in the field along Crittenden road. Tried pulling it out with another one and buried that one too. So we walked over to borrow my grandfather's tractor. By the time we came back the police and the fire department were there as someone called it in as an accident. I was 15 at the time and arguing with a cop and firemen who were PO'd over the false alarm. Hey.....................we didn't call them, and the cars were on private property! My friends older brother at one time had a series of mid 50's Fords and Mercs as field cars including at least one crown vic Ford, and one Merc with the plexiglass roof panel..............

Mine was a 1987 Plymouth Sundance (the beginning of an obsession with 2.2 Dodge's, the Daytona is the 9th 2.2 I've owned so far). Looked like this only black and a little rougher:

My first car was a 1987 Toyota Tercel. It was Silver 2 door Hatchback. I bought the car new and sold it in 1994 with 172,000 miles. I definately got my money out of that car.
