I drove one of those! That automatic on the dash was quite the "bomb".

The first car I owned was a 1972 Puke Green Plymouth Duster. 225 Slant-6 that ran like a son-of-a-gun, considering its size.

I got my license in my parent's 1971 Buick Centurion Cabin Cruiser, the day after a 3" snowfall. My dad figured if I could pass my license in conditions like that (even managed to parallel park the thing), I could drive anything in any weather.

I had a pretty much identical '64.

Drove it cross country with the back seat removed and a rack on top..... stuffed to capacity. Wifey and took all our posessions and the VW to the Philippines where it was worth its weight in gold.

1962 Dodge Lancer...think the '62-63 Valiant and you'll have the idea. They changed it to the Dart the next year, I believe.

'65 Ford Falcon, extra chrome, bucket seats, air conditioner (which may have been after market), baby blue. Ran like a top - no idea where my Dad found it. Wish I had kept it - it was clean as a whistle.

"'65 Mustang conv."

'67 Mustang Convertible here. 289 with a 3-Speed. I'm going for a '66 convertible after the next few years when the kids have left the house and I can revert back to my teenage years. Oooooh, it's gonna be GREAT!
