Your first car

Post by rbsWELDER »

Thought you might enjoy seeing your first car ad and your father’s car. This is really cool.

Find your first car or the one you drove to high school or college;
hopefully your car brochure is available. This has to be one of the
neatest web sites whether you have gasoline in your veins or not.

This is a website featuring the original factory brochures for nearly every American car you have ever owned.

Pick the manufacturer, the year and the model.

Thank You very much. I had forgotten about the MoPar heart with a devil tail. My 1967 Barracuda was a 383 Formula S fastback in Dark Copper.

Nice trip to back "then"

My first car ever was a 51 Ford that was cut into a pickup. I doubt there is a pamphlet for that. Ceec

Mine was a 1950 Oldsmobile coupe, with a crushed right rear quarter. I customized it - '53 Buick head & tail lights, frenched - lowered it (Bernzomatic heat to the springs! Lookout for RR tracks!!!) and hammered/bondo'd the bent sheet metal. There were three guys with them ('50 Olds coupes) from my highschool, and we thought we were cooool!

Mine was a 64 Ford Galaxie that belonged to my Grandpa. It was a 4-door but had a 390 in it and duel exhaust shortly after I got it :).. That ticked my dad off :lol: Only went through 3 transmissions in the first year and thus my love for cars! I had to work at the shop that repaired my car after dad paid for the first one :D

This is a wonderful look back. My high School friend was from a rich family and they bought him a 1958 Chevy with a 348 and a cast iron Power Glide. I remained his buddy until the local junk yard ran out of them. Then his dad bought him a shop built PG and he didn't need a free mechanic that much anymore.
