His parents took the two new tires off it and paid $50 of the $75, so $25 total. We learned to drive it in the field next to my house, we turned it into a "circle track". Bald tires and mud, what fun to power-slide that car! We blew a rod by overrevving it, it just let loose, honest Dad!

My first MY car was in 1964. It was a 56 Ford 2 door Mainliner with a 272 three speed. I should have passed on that one. It had an overhead oiler with copper/brass lines that squirted oil up and under the valve covers. It was hard to adjust the flow and it left a lot of mosquito spray out the tail pipe. But the girlfriend like it!!! She could sit right next to me. Kids in these rice burners with bucket seats don't know what they are missing.

My first was a 1949 Chev 2 door for $50 back in 1969 in Portland, OR. Bought it from a friend that had paid $50 for it a year earlier. Drove that thing for a couple years then sold it to another friend for $50 in Corvallis, OR.. He replaced the leaky rear main seal and put on new brakes before selling it a year later to another guy for $95. The car was last seen in 1976 in Oakland, CA., driven by grizzled old hippie. None of us could kill that damn car.
