Today feature is The First Car OK Joe, "The First Car". This is my "first car". A little story to go with the picture. I was raised in Florida and at that time, early 1960s' you could get a license when you were 14 to drive a motorcycle and 15 to drive a car. My neighbor had a 1956 MG B and wanted to sell it. My father refused to allow me to purchase the car. Told me it was too dangerous and too expensive to maintain. I wanted that car. He found this car and told me, if I was going to get a car this was it. Oh well, I did learn some lessons. One of which was, when I moved away from home, I bought a 1962 356B Porsche. This is "The First Car" for me. 1960 Studebaker Lark  |

I asked my father if he could lend me the money. So he came along, inspected it and began to write the check. I was so excited I opened my mouth and said, "Me and my friends are going to have some good parties in this van." At that point my father folded the check, put it in his pocket and my dream of having this van was just a memory.............  |

My first car was a 67 Camaro. It was fire engine red with a black top. What ever photos there is are buried in the thousands of pictures my mother had. I didn't get it til 75. Sadly it was totaled by a city snow plow in 79.

Laz, Wasn't it amazing how those paper routes generated money. Same here, 97 customers. Made a lot of money, particularly when money was worth a lot. $500.00 today won't even put tires on a car. Of course we did by the recap tires for our car.  |

Wood, the $ 500.00 was exactly what I paid for the Buick. Big step for a young man. I had two paper routes, mornings and the Sunday papers. |

Of course we did by the recap tires for our car. I had just about that many just a few short at 93 customers. I still have the paper punch for the pay ticket and my change changer, chrome dispenser that held quarters, nickels, dimes and pennies. Those were the days. |
