First drive was the family 61' Chevy Biscayne wagon.

First owned, 1954 Chevy Bel Air Two Door Hardtop Coupe. $150 paid cash from my paper route and pick up job money. Sure do wish I'd hung onto that one.

First vehicle I got to drive was an early 60's International 1 ton flat bed hay truck. We would hay it on the fairgrounds and then take turns driving it through town & up to my cousin's grandfather's farm. Later on that old truck became our camp truck and we used it for several more years.
First car of my own was a 1970 Camaro Rally Sport. Some called it a 70 1/2 as the front bumper was only under the headlights. Paid $2184.00 for it.

Started out with my mom's '75 Ford Granada. After she passed away my dad sold that car and bought a Ford F100, but I go to drive the '55 Wylis Jeep. No roof, stick shift, rain, snow, heat it didn't matter. That was my ride.

I learned to drive in my father's 67 F100, 352 and 3 on the tree (the ultimate anti-millenial theft device). An indestructible truck. I was 11 or 12, in a cow pasture while we were cutting wood. First vehicle I bought was a 65 F100 stepside, also 3 speed.

I miss trucks with manual transmissions.

First truck I drove was a 1973 GMC longbox crewcab with a 350 and a 4 speed floor shift with the first gear a "bull" low. Dad used to sing "give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around". Not the tightest turning circle.

First car I owned was a 1982 Celica GT with a 5 speed manual. Great car.

1961 Buick LaSabre. It was an ugly brown color and my parents had put those ugly clear seat covers that was the thing people did back then. Within a year or so Dad purchased and gave to me a 1967 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback with a 390 c.i. 4-speed and I don't think I ever drove that Buick again.

I would have been seriously hurt or dead in one of those as my first vehicle.
