I will never forget my first car and my first girl friend, which were both beautiful in their own ways. I was only 15 years old when I got my driver's license and I couldn't wait to have my own car. It was a 1956 Chevy. This was a car that any cool guy my age would want to have. I was very lucky, because my uncle was a car salesman at a Chevrolet dealership, and one of his best customers, an old lady, traded in the car to buy a new one. She had kept the car in her garage most of the time, and seldom drove it, so it only has 20,000 miles on it. It was beautiful, maroon and white. My uncle told me he would sell it to me for only $500 dollars, a great deal. I had saved $250 from working on the weekends and my mother gave me the other $250. I paid her back later. The body was perfect, not even a scratch, and the interior was almost like new, with black and white upholstery and nice black carpet on the floor. It was a four-door car, with an automatic transmission, and bench seats in the front and back. These were the only things that weren't perfect about the car. A "perfect" 1956 Chevrolet for a teenager in those days would have only two doors, bucket seats in the front, and a standard transmission on the floor. But it was close enough to perfect for me. Let me tell you, it was easy to get a pretty girlfriend with a car like that. I felt like the coolest guy in high school when I was driving around with my girlfriend, Mary Ann. And I went on a date every weekend with her in my car. The car was in such excellent condition that I drove it through four years of high school, put it in my mother's garage for four years while I was in the Navy, and drove it through college. Then it finally died when I finished college, I felt like I had lost an old friend. Unfortunately, I don't have a single picture of that car, but I will put a link below so you can see a similar car. My next car was a 1970 orange Volkswagen bug. It was nice, but nothing would ever replace that beautiful 1956 Chevy. In conclusion, I will never forget my first car as long as I live, and sometimes I still dream about it, and Mary Ann. They were both beautiful. Do you remember your first car?

ReplyDeleteI love my first car too. It is a Honda Accord Sport white color and really fast. I love driving on a farm road where is a less car. I'm glad to have that car and it is like my angle!
ReplyDeleteI like Hondas, too. They are very good cars, but not as good as Toyotas, in my opinion. I have a Toyota Camry.
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice memory about your first car and about your first girlfriend ...I like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like how you can't choose who’s more beautiful in my opinion Mary Ann more beautiful, because she still in your mind for a long time.
Right. But my car is still in my mind, too. They both were beautiful!
DeleteNice car Mr. B,let me tell you is hard, but did you have good memories and probably never your forget, I was in same condition last year I sold my first car, "Pontiac firebird 97) because I need family car, I have pictures and will keep forever, in conclusion we never forget our first car
ReplyDeleteI think most people always remember their first car because it is such an exciting feeling to have your own car, whether the car was beautiful, like mine, or ugly, like the blue Volkswagen.
DeleteYou was really lucky to have that car. The price, miles, model, color and conditions of the car. I want to buy a classic car and i hope i can find a car like yours.
ReplyDeleteI know I was lucky. I imagine you will look for a pink classic car..:)
DeleteYou are right yael he was very lucky.evry one in this age hope to get nice car but not all able to achieve that just who is lucky
DeleteI definitely respect this. Most people can't buy their own car even at the age of 25. I wish to have this car one day and that will be my dream.
