The 1945 MB
A 2003 MINI...
My Son and i had a 45 jeep, We took two years rebuilding it , Even had a NOS Steel body shipped in from the Philippines, Had it 90% completed when he sold it.
Just like a boat, The two best days are the day you buy it , And the day you find a sucker to take it off your hands.
Had a 1972 Pontiac Tempest in Gold with the Endura front end with a 400 and a turbo 350. I thru in a 3:73 rearend and had fake fur on the dash. Its just what we did...

1937 Plymouth coupe. Had a knob on the dash which when you cranked it, the windshield would open from the bottom out. Two knobs atop the windshield operated the wipers separately. 3 on the floor. Quart of oil every 100 miles. Trunk big enough to fit a single bed.
Hand operated throttle and choke. Battery was under the floor where your feet were when driving. Was two tone gawd awful brown until I painted it black. Had a lot of fun in that car.
1964 Chevy Impala that my Dad gave me. 6 cylinder, 2 speed automatic. Would shift at 45 mph. One of the doors was so rusted you could reach inside to unlock the door. Don't ask me how I know.

Have you noticed how you can estimate people's ages? Lots of you folks' first cars were new well after I finished high school!
My dad ran the local general aviation airport and he taught me to drive a stick by practicing on the wide sod runways. I didn't have to be too attentive to steering, and could concentrate on how to shift. Then he bought me a 1962 Rambler Classic. It was pink, and its only extra was a heater. I was 14 years old, and in Kansas at the time you could get a restricted license then. I think he bought it for me so they wouldn't have to take me back and forth to work at the Italian restaurant where I bused tables.
My first car was this 1964 Comet Cyclone with a 289 CI engine.

A 1960 SAAB type 96, Three cylinder 2 stroke. Built prior to the autolube, had to pour a quart of oil, any kind, into the gas tank at fill up.I think it literally rusted in half one day.

I learned to drive in my dads 70's AMC Gremlin with 3 on the tree. Not as ugly as it's sister the Pacer, but close.
My first car was moms hand me down 63 Buick Special 4 door with a 310 wildcat and 2 speed tranny. It would shift
at 72mph when I had it to the floor.
1st car I ever paid for myself was a 77 bug with more holes then a cheese grater.
1st new ride was a Mazda 4x4 pickup. Think it was a '87.
