First car you drove (probably known as your best car ever)

jhdouglas59 #98 What was the first car you drove (other than your parents' old DeSoto)? Mine was a 48 Plymouth Coupe' pea green color. A real Bondo special inherited from my brother. I think he just wanted to dump it so he could get his dream car, a 1954 (I think) Plymouth Belvedere convertible with a continental tire kit, robin egg blue color, which he still has by the way; it's always garaged and only goes outside on clear sunny days with a -300% chance of rain. Anyways, I think that's where I got it. It lasted several years until I dumped it on some unfortunate soul. Hope it wasn't one of your relatives. Then I got a 52 Ford Victoria from a Dalton local (it was probably his first dream car, too.) The Plymouth was probably my favorite car (I guess because it was my first car). What was your first car and what are your memories of it? Good or bad.
Paul Sturpe All Messages By This Member #102 开云体育 My first car was a 1947 Plymouth, 2 door sedan.? I paid $175.00 for it.? I remember the engine went bad and with the help of some friends, I put an engine from a Junked 1953 Plymouth in the car.? Everything fit fine, except the gear shift linkage wasn't the same so we had to "jury rig" it.? The linkage would slip off from time to time, usually at an inopportune time (like on a date) and I would get a little greasy getting the linkage hooked up again.? Then too, one of the doors didn't open correctly and I don't know what I had to do to overcome that one! ? So after about a year, I sold the Plymouth and upgraded to a 1947 Oldsmobile with an automatic transmission!? Wow, now I was in business!? The thing I remember most about the Olds was that it had coil springs in the back, and the shock absorbers were completely shot.? So whenever I would hit the slightest bump, the rear end would start to bounce up and down and it seemed to take for ever for the bouncing to stop.? Oh yes, and the purchase price of car number two.....also $175.00. ? Now I can't say that either of these two cars were my most favorites, but I think they were my most memorable! ?

Lanny and Judy Royer #106 My first car was a 1949 Olds.? Of course I had to make it cool by putting large rocks in the trunk to lower it and put on fender skirts.? I worked for my dad on weekends, holidays, and summers, made good money and in my senior year bought a white 54 Corvette, remember?? I use to go out on the country roads and race Gary Close, who had some kind of foreign sports car.? ? I remember on one occasion borrowing my dads new 1957 Ford.? One day me and 4 other guys were coming into Dalton by the main road north (?) lickety split.? I shot over a hill and coming our of a lane was a farmer taking up the road, no way to miss.? Just before the crash, Cash hollered, "hit him hes in the wrong".? About drove him into Dalton.? Can't remember who the other 2 in my car were, do you? Thank God the only injury was a sprained wrist on Cash.? ? Lanny ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ---- From: jhdouglas59 To: dalton59@...
