What was your first car?

59 Impala Bubble top. I totaled it a couple of months later. Saw another that was totaled and bought it from the insurance company. I put the 2 together and sold parts for a net cost of $75 to be back on the road. That was 51 years ago.

1959 Triumph TR-3A. When I was 11, my fighter pilot older brother gave me a ride in it on some Virginia country roads with the telephone poles and drainage ditches whizzing by. Scared the **** out of me. Five years later, I bought it from him. I also remember riding in the back seat for a hundred miles when he was headed to a little get-together fondly remembered as the "Cuban Missile Crisis"!

In addition to that car, I also owned a TR-4A, and drove a Spitfire, MGA, MGA Fixed Head Coupe, MGB, MG Midget, Austin Healey Sprite and Austin Healey 100-6. I just LOVE British Roadsters! I've wanted a Cobra ever since my August 1964 issue of Mechanix Illustrated arrived with the Tom McCahill test.
