Thanks Richard, I've actually had this link for a couple of years but, thanks for sharing it with everyone else here. It comes in handy sometimes. I still can't pull up my first car, a '55 Chevy Del Ray 210, unless I pull up all the other models with it here. It would be like the yellow and white one only mine was red when I got it. 4_zpsbef36c22.jpg

Nice Bob! Why did your Dad make you sell it or should I ask? My Dad didn't want me to have a car until I graduated from college. Unfortunately he died when I was 14 and I talked my Mom into letting me have my first car (to fix up) when I was 15.

I was 16 ( turned 17 in October that year ) , had just gotten my license , and got 2 tickets the first month ! I bought it with my own money but never asked before I did so I almost lost the car then . I sold my Torino , paid the tickets , and bought a Vega !

I love to hear stories from our youth, thanks for sharing this one Bob.

Here is my first car... I was only 3 years old when it came out, but when I was in my late teens I lucked out and found one and did a ground up restoration and spent about $8,000 and then sold it because I needed to pay for school... I miss that thing!!!

In early 1972 I was a junior in high school when I bought my first car , a 1969 Torino Cobra Jet . I drove it for 3 months before my Dad made me sell it !

Heck of a first car Bob, I'm jealous!

My first was a red, cough, '90 Ford Probe GL, cough. It was actually a pretty reliable and good car. I even spanked a late 70's or so Monte Carlo with it once. Probably had more to do with the chump behind the wheel of the Monte more than anything else though. lol
