Hands down, this will become THE most popular thread on this web site!!!!

And....NO.........I will not let you know what that first car was. TOO embarrassing. Well, at least I didn't let it stay the stock way I got for long...........
OK, just one clue..........it was a '56
Oh never mind. This is waaaaaaaay more fun reading about everybody"s elses cars.

The auto history for Wilma started with a 64 Impala wagon which my father gave me in the summer of 1973. It burned more oil than gas, 283/PG with rust holes you could throw a cat through. I sold it for $75.00 in the fall of 73 and got a 64 mailbu sport coupe, another 283/PG. The first "real" car came in Feb 74, a 70 Forest Green L78 4spd Nova SS. I guess you guys know the rest of the story....

I have a picture somewhere of that Nova, just can't find it!

57 chevy. 2 door hard top belair. 265 4 bbl powerglide. Was primrose pink with a white top. After a little fender bender had it painted Lemans blue with Mickey Thompsen chrome slots, chrome shackle extensions, and a audio vox reverb box. Still got a project car like this that I need to get to some day. Maybe if you have projects to finish, you'll live forever.

My first is attached (still can't figure out how to insert a pic). 20 years later I still have it and enough NOS parts to build it twice over. Maybe next summer it'll get done.
