Cars We Grew up With

[whirlcool]

Whoops! I forgot, my sisters first car was a 1960 Plymouth Valiant. What a piece of crap that was! She got it in 1969. There was nothing wrong with it, but it never really ran good. It was noisier than hell (slant 6 engine) and was very weird with that push button transmission and very recessed dash board. And it rattled worse than a rattle snake!
My Dad & I tuned it up for her and even though we set all the things like timing and spark plug gap and new spark plug wires and new points and condenser, it still ran like crap. She later traded it in on a used Datsun 240Z. Now THAT was a car! It fit like a glove when driving it. I think she bought it in 1971 for $2,500. or something like that.

Okay, let's see:

I was born in 1963..... and for the life of me, the first car I ever witnessed my family buying was a 1970 Chevrolet Nova (the two door coupe) in Sky Blue.

The other cars I grew up with after the Nova were:

1972 Chevrolet Vega (in Cactus Green, and what a piece of shit it turned out to be....... the motor went "kuput" three years later)(1972-75).
1970 Mercury Montego (the first Big Luxury Car we've ever owned, and then, it was totalled in an accident)(1974-76).
1968 Pontiac LaMans (in Green)(1974-76).
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Coupe (in Baby Blue)(1976-79).
1979 Chevrolet Nova (this time, it was a Sedan)(the first New Car we ever bought(in Lt. Blue))(1979-83).
1983 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Coupe (in Navy Blue with a White Vinyl Top)(1983-88).
1988 Oldsmobile Cuttless (in Black)(after that, I was approaching my 30's for much of the time they owned this car, so this is where I will cut things off).
