RE: My First Car Was a....
My dad gave me his 1969 Chrysler 300, 440, 350 H.P. 2dr hardtop when I was 15. I hated it and rejected it. I actually bought a Chrysler just like it in 1999 which goes to show you that you can learn to appreciate the past. My dad's car was worn out with well over 100,000 miles and the 1969 model I bought in 1999 was owned by an 83 year old man and had 20,000 miles on it. It was the same color as the one my dad owned but it was in beautiful shape. I ended up buying an SS 396 automatic convertible with white bucket seats at the age of 16, Blue with white stripes that belonged to my first employer's wife who drove the car as a sorority girl at The University of Texas. It was very sweet and now would be worth an incredible amount of money due to the fact that it was an Alabama car with no rust. I believe I paid $2000.00 for it in 1977.
