Re: Your First Car

Mine was a 1954 Mercury Monterey 2 door hardtop. It had 312 cu. in. motor out of a Thunderbird with dual 4 barrles. I got it a year before I got my license. I took the motor out to rebuild it. I traded the motor to a guy in the autoshop class for a Chrysler 'Hemi', it was a 331 cu. in.(1954). It took 2 years to rebuild the 'Hemi' and put it in the Merc. "Life's hard and it's harder when your stupid" The Duke was right!! The 'Hemi' was huge! I actually got to drive it for a few months. I bought a brand new 1967 BSA Spitfire Mark III with the money I got for graduation( it was supposed to be for college ;-) ). My first new vehicle was a 1969 Jeepster V6, yellow with a black softtop. I have a picture of the Jeepster but I can't figure out how to post it.

Regards, OE, Those were the days!!
