First car

My first car was a '62 Mercury Monterrey Custom. It had the reverse sloping rear window that you could roll down from the drivers seat. Pretty cool! Plus on a good night it would seat about 14 people! Great party car! I painted it deep, metallic purple and a couple well into their '70's bought it. I couldn't believe it!
You don't want to mention "fist" cars with all the martial arts guys on this forum!I'm sure many of us had really "sucky" cars for our first. Mine was a 1974 AMC Hornet (cost $650 in 1982) which had the door latch on the driver side rusted out. I had to use a bent coat hanger to keep my door closed!

I know it's been with me for a long time. I just always loved that car and never even considered selling it, never. I have had a long list of muscle cars that have come and gone but never my runner.pak452 wrote:You still have it...amazing!My first car was a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner 383 4 speed. Bought it in 1975 when I was in high school.
Yep, I still have it. I use it for drag racing now.
My first car was a Duster in 1977. It was on black primer (no paint), the driver door had been hit and the window , when close was still sligthly open.That was its only feature. I did not enjoy rain during that period. I acquiered it by trading my Honda 175CC + $50.
