1947 Packard Deluxe Clipper taken in trade by my dad on a 1958 Pontiac Chieftan Safari wagon. It was 25 years old and fully restored ā AC was a side air vent. Same car ā sold in 1976 when I upgraded to a 1975 Monte Carlo.

Bright yellow 4dr 65 Pontiac Catalina, I was 15 and paid $150.00 in 1975. Sold my shotgun to buy it. Only had it a month before the engine seized up. Had a lot of fun in that month though! First brand new was a 78 F-150. I bought it when I was 17 after returning from AF Tech School. My mother had to sign for it. $6000.00 at $171.00 a month for 48 months. My current truck payment is 5 times that!

1965 Olds 442 it was a nice car had a 425, two speed auto, Duel cherry bombs and Crager SS rims. Ran faster than I could ever take it I never topped that car out. Remember anything about that 425? I don't remember much other than it was red with black leather I was16 had the car for three years sold it to get a 55 chevy that I wrecked within 6 months. That 442 had a cool ashtray.

75 Ford F100 Explorer. It was only 6 years old but it was wrecked so we got it for almost nothing. My step-dad and I fixed all of the damage, repainted it, and put new tires and wheels on it. I rolled it within the first 6 months and we had to cut the cab off and weld a new cab in. It looked like the one in this picture except it was yellow with white stripes (we changed it to brown with white stripes), and it didn't have the bed rails.

First cart that I drove regularly was my dads '74 Chevy Impala station wagon. First car that I owned was a '74 Toyota Celica. Those Celicas were cool little cars! I had a ā77 for my second car. It got 30 mpg, with a 4 cylinder/5 speed. Was a fastback, looked like a mini Mustang fast back.

1969 Chevy truck. Bought it for $600 when I was 15. It kind of ran but very rough. We were going to rebuild the motor. Took off the valve covers and several of the rockers were off. Got them back in position, hooked everything back up and it ran great. I still have the truck out in the pasture.

63 Ford Falcon, in glacier blue. 170 cubes and 105 hp. No radio. No AC.
As for the 1965 442 somebody had, Iām wondering if the engine was a 425. Mom had a 67 442, and it had a 400 ci engine. My 1970 442 had a 455 ci engine.
