49 Plymouth Coup. Bought it for $50

First to drive was a 1967 Ford Falcon, mom's car. Dad bought a new car and I drove his old 1972 Chevy station wagon after I turned 16 for 3-4 months until I saved up enough for my 1st car. I paid $500 for a 1969 Firebird convertible. There was some body damage, but dad knew a guy going through a divorce and bankruptcy that agreed to repair and repaint the car for $200 if I paid cash so I had $700 in the car. This was 1974.

I wish I could have kept that car, but it got 6-10 mpg and gas prices relative to income were about double what they are today. I kept it through high school, but had to have something cheaper on gas.

'49 Ford F100. I learned to drive with it. My 1st car was a '59 Ford Fairlane station wagon. I had that through college and I got popular as a people hauler for weekend trips home. I met my wife that way. She heard there was a car heading south to Boise and hooked a ride with me.

Dad's 69 Chevy 1/2 ton 307 3 on the tree

first car of my own was a 70 1/2 RS camaro with the split bumpers rubber nose.

At about age 5 I can recall sitting on my dad's lap while he let me "steer" his red 1950 Ford tudor. Does that count as driving? If not then it was probably circa 1965 when I got a beat up 1956 Mercury and parked it out back and sometimes drove it in the adjoining field which we didn't own. Never had it licensed, as I was only 15 and didn't have a license yet. Just got the car because I wanted to fool around working on cars and it only cost me 25 bucks.
