The Ford Barn - View Single Post - what was your first car and how much did you pay

I was 15 year old in 1971 when purchased my first car for $50 ($350 in today's money). It was a black 1957 Volkswagen (last year for the oval window) with a seized engine and lots of rust, but it was complete. I had no money to do much with it so it mostly languished and I dreamed. Sold it decades later when I lost storage space but I'll never forget it.
