What year and make was your first car? Did you love it or not?

My first car was a 49 Black Chevrolet. Worst part it was a stick shift. I did not know how to drive one. I learned and I couldn't stop in middle of hill because I was afraid of the car rolling backwards when I shifted. So at a red light I would stop at bottom of a hill then go. Needles to say the people behind me were fuming. I loved that car . Still think about it today how lucky I was to have it.

1971 VW Karmann Ghia convertible, brand new, for my 16th birthday.  It was orange with a brown top!  My parents had brought home a red Fiat for me to look at, but they decided on the KG.  I hated it!!!  If it had been a different color, maybe I would have liked it.  Being grateful just to have a car never entered my mind - it was simply awful.  After a year, they gave me a 1972 Triumph 2000 GTV - navy blue with baby blue interior.  Much better ...

I never owned a car. After I got married, I took adult driver's ed and got my driver's license. I took my driving test in our (DH's at the time of my marriage) car. It was a new white 1963 Dodge Dart 2 door hard top with push button transmission. It was the nicest car to drive and to ride in. I seldom drive, but still have my license.

A bright red 1960 Studebaker Lark.  DH taught me to drive using this car with a few minor "bumps" in the road.

A '59 Chevy convertible, brand new, blue exterior, white interior . . . with the "wings" in the back, whitewall tires.  I felt like a princess.  My beloved sister and I had a ball in that car!!  Paid for it myself too.

1962 Chevy Corvair! My dad bought it for me. It was 10 years old. I didn't have my license yet -couldn't parallel park with my parents big Chevy Impala. At first I hated the color -fire engine red but grew to love it! Had some great times in that car and boy was it easy to park!...LOL!
