Damn, they were beautiful. All STEEL, too.

My first car was 1952 Plymouth 4dr.

1989 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX with a 5 speed. White with a red interior, summer tires (not fun in the snow), and a Pioneer CD player when detachable face plates were a new thing. I loved that car and its 225 HP.

I wish I still had this:
1964 Ford Galaxy 500, 390 4bbl.
$600 at $2.00/hr (That was GOOD money!)

While my parents were out for the day, my buddies and I began the engine teardown process but quickly gave up. We removed all the VIN id plates we could find and pushed the car about 1/2 mile and dumped it in the prarie.

Dad: "Hey Skipper, where's the car?"
Me: "Uh ..."
