My first car was a 61 Rambler Classic, but my favorite was a '72 Opel GT. I've never owned a new vehicle and I never plan to.
I have a 64 1/2 Nash Rambler now.It doesn't run but the only reason it wouldn't start was the starter went out and we couldn't find one for it.
Glenda, the first year I worked in the auto industry was 1963, at American Motors. We were building 1964 Ramblers. I remember them well. Then it was Nash-Kelvinator not AMC.
How funny, This one has some kind of high speed rearend and its a sedan.I forget what it says on the back.
The first car I ever drove was a 1983 Jetta. The first car I ever owned was a 1978 Malibu Classic. I LOVED that car and drove it right into the ground. It was a sad day when they finally came to tow it away.
My very first car was a mustard coloured Ford Escort LX Loved this car - dad gave it to me. My second car was a gold Ford Fiesta Ghia. Dad again brought me this one and she was my pride and joy ... until.... I took out my very first bank loan and brought a Ford Escort XR3-i. (I seem to have a Ford fettish!) This was jet black and COOL! All my mates took the micky, but they always wanted accepted a lift! Once I met my darling Mark we went through a host of cars, mostly Vauxhalls, but now we are back to Ford and drive a good family all round car - a Ford Mondeo.
Ford cars are a great choice EJ. :-D My daughter (the budding mechanic) swears by them as she says the parts are resonably priced and easy to fit. Not that I'd have a clue!!!
