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

When I was a little kid I had a Grit newspaper route. I squandered my profits on model cars. When I was 14 in 1973 I was mowing grass in the cemetery and at the end of the summer I bought a J C Whitney toolbox and a 1946 Ford Tudor for $25.00. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Same thing appears to be still going on only more zeros in the amount of money being spent but nicer toys.
