That was my first car too! No pizza deliveries though. I’d love to find one now.

My high school car was a 1938 Chrysler 4 door sedan. I bought it for $65 dollars while a Junior in high school. Thats the car I used for first dates. My Dad gave me $5 weekly to drive my sister to school. Gasoline was only 33.9 cents per gallon. If the girls didn't complain about that car I usually used my Dad's Oldsmobile for subsequent dates. I graduated with the class of 57.

1968 Mustang with a 6 cylinder engine.Bought it in my sophomore year with money I had saved from mowing yards since I was a 10 year old. This was in 1976.

My gosh, I just realized I graduated 61 years ago.

My 67 GTO. I bought it in 1988 when I was a sophomore in HS. I didn't drive it until 1997 when I finished the restoration. I've had it 30 years.

My Dad bought me a 1971 Ford F-100 pickup. 3 on the tree, vinyl floor, bench seat, heater, AM radio.
I was very glad to have it!

Bus 47.

1972 Dodge Dart Swinger with 225 cu. in. slant 6; bought it from my brother. I totaled it when I ran a stop sign and broadsided a car.



No one hurt...just my pride.

A 1956 Chevy sedan..... which makes me sound a LOT older than I really am.

I didn't drive until I was 21. And then it was a 15 year old Chevy S-10.

75 Ford Pinto

My first car in high school was a family hand me down 1967 Buick Electra 225 convertible.
It had a 430 2bbl and my dad took a dim view of things when I knocked a hole in the muffler to make it sound cool.
It looked mostly like this, except mine was a convertible:



Late in the 11th grade, I bought a 1972 BMW 2002 that looked a lot like this 1973 model:

1972 Ford F100 Ranger with the Camper Special package. Top speed of maybe 70, but could carry or tow anything. About 8 mpg on that 390, too.

My first car in high school was a ‘78 Honda Civic. It wasn’t that old at the time (1982) and lasted me a long time. We lived in West Germany then. Gas was pretty expensive so the good mileage was a plus.

Parents bought my sister and I a VW bug to share (it worked out).

Also, Dad had a '57 Chevy BelAir for his go-to-work car; it was a great car to take a girl to the drive-in movies on the weekends.

'69 Beetle.

1982 Mazda 626.
This isn't my pic (or my car), but mine was that color. Evidently the owner of this particular one got the same idea I did -- get the RX7 wheels for the 626. (Too bad they didn't install the whole set!) My high school calculus teacher had the coupe, in that same color, with the nice RX7 wheels. I wanted so badly to trade with her!

I got the car with roughly 50k miles on it, then put another 85k or so on it before selling it.

Loved that car... all 89 horsepower worth!

1958 F-100 pickup.

1975 Chevy Malibu sedan.

Mine was a 67 Camaro with a 327 and Power Glide bought in 1980 from the original owner for $1,600 and I drove it for 7 years all through high school and college. Great first car. Still have a soft spot for first gen Camaros.
