Must be pre-1980. What was your first car and most important, what would you have bought if you were able?

Mine was 1967 Dodge Dart GT convertible, red in color, and I would have bought a 'Cuda if I had been able.

Mine was a 1960 Ford Falcon....I bought it from my neighbor for $200. and was a big move up from my Suzuki 250 motorcycle. It was a lovely green/blue color with peeling paint on the hood. Pretty dependable, though!
If I could have afforded it, I would have purchased a 1967 or 1968 Shelby Mustang.

Mine was a 64 Fairlane with a powerful 180 cid staright six, that you had to tap the carbirator every 100 mile to loosen the floats. Also took both feet to stop . Wish I had it now

After riding Yamaha Riva 125cc scooter for a few years, I used my brother's car for a few more years, then I 'inherited' a pick-up truck - GMC Sierra V8, it was a fun gas guzzler.
