1st one that was actually mine was a '58 Ford Fairlane station wagon. It was a great college car.

I had a 1957 Chevrolet pickup with three on the tree and a floor starter. I bought it in 1976 in Norman, Oklahoma when I was 15 years old. Mine had the 3 on the tree standard transmission with the 6 cylinder engine, too. Had the Floor starter button / pedal, also. I bought it from a neighboring farmer. I think I payed him $250 bucks. It had been setting out behind their barn for several years. The transmission was locked up so I had to go to the local wrecking yard and buy another for $25 bucks. Layed under it for a couple of hours in the field putting in the new transmission and I was good to go. That was in 1975. I was 15 also. 😬

It was a surplus 1963 Plymouth station wagon from the Soil and Water Conservation District. It was an olive drab, survey car with not one option. Didn't even have an AM radio or back seat. It had a slant six engine that was fairly reliable, but the three on the column was so worn it was a bugger to drive and not get hung up. My twin brother and I learned a lot about keeping a car going with that piece of junk.

68 Camaro SS; 350 4 speed
It had been sitting idle for a few years when we got it. First thing was to do a valve job to get it running again. Had been wrecked twice - lots of Bondo on that car. Paid $250 for the car.
I quickly learned why Dad got that car for me -
The back seat was waaaay to small to do anything with a girl.
