Cool thread! My first car was a '69 Chevy pickup....small block/3-tree. . The crazy thing is it was factory purple! . I painted it w/ grey spray bombs as the color sure seemed dumb at the time. . I sold it in '79....never thought about looking at trim tags back then? . Anyone know if purple was a factory color choice? ~ Pete

My (very) first car was a '54 Chevy that my brother gave to me while he was serving a tour of duty in Viet Nam. The car was blue with black tuck and roll interior, Corvette 327 w/two 4's, 4 speed, 4:10 rear, roll bar, tear drop scoop, etc,etc. For my 16th Birthday, he mailed me the title. About a week later I grabbed some friends to go to my Aunts house where the car was stored in a barn only to find the storm that went through the night before lowered the barn about 20' right on top of the car. Needless to say I never even got to drive the car one time. Somewhere I have photos of that car as well.

My first car was a 1977 Grand Prix that was painted in primer with a white half vinyl top. I was 16 years old when I got it in 1994. I paid $500 for it and dad was so pissed that I bought a car with out his knowledge he told me to park it down the street! I wish that I had pictures of it!
Pops told me to tell you guys that his first car was a 56 Buick Convert Canary yellow with a black rag top that he bought from a guy for $15.00 when he was 15 in 1965! he said that the car had a bad trans which him and his buddy switched out that afternoon with a junk yard trans for about another $15.00! Man those would have been the days!
