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.
