    First car was a 1950 Chevy fast back. The first Buick I ever had was a 1950 Buick that a guy my parents knew gave me for cutting his grass. His grass was about two feet tall and I had to cut it with a sickle first then a push mower (the old type push mower with rotating blades). I'm sorry to say I used the 50 Chevy to tow the Buick to the junk yard were I got $15.00 for it. The Buick was straight as a string and had a rebuilt motor but I was only 16 at the time and a 50 Buick wasn't to cool then. Sure wish I had that Buick now!

    First Buick
    1972 Skylark- pulled out of a field 6 months after flipping the Grand Prix when I fell asleep at the wheel.

    My first car was a 1972 Buick Skylark Custom 2dr. Hardtop.It was Hunter Green and originally had a black halo vinyl top (By the time I got it,the top was long gone).It was a 350-4,with a column-shift automatic.I bought it from a friend in high school who was in the process of turning in into a GS tribute.He had installed a GS hood,bucket seats and console,and even went so far as to put in a 3:42 Posi.He lost interest in the car,and sold it to me.However,in addition to missing the vinyl top,it was also missing a transmission.Due to a string of unfortunate events,I lost the car before I ever got the chance to even get another transmission,much less drive it.(Long story).

    The first car I ever owned (that I actually drove daily) was a '71 Ford Torino 500.It also originally had a halo-style vinyl top,and was also green,and also was lost because the transmission died.

    What is it with me and (automatic)transmissions?

    As much as I enjoyed that car,and all the good times I had in-and with it-I never forgot about the Skylark.I can close my eyes even now,and see every detail inside and out.

    .....which probably explains a lot about why I'm here.

    :cool:

    First car ever WAS a Buick. 1966 Riviera GS in turquiose mist. Loaded. Buckets,console,p.seat,windows,antenna,trunk lid,stereo,cornering lights,a/c and best of all dual quads. Funny it had hubcaps and not the road wheels,though. I still have a couple of pics of it stored away.

    My first car was a 67 Lesabre with a 340/4. In 1976, when I was 16. It was FAST! Well, it seemed like it was.

    4 door. It was my mother's car, and she sold it to me for 300.00. I had a part time job at A&P, and I paid her 15.00 per week.

    It had an AM radio, and I added 4 pair of those 19.00 per pair wedge-shaped surface mount speakers all over the car. Remember those? Man, that thing sounded good!

    When I was a teenager, Rick Dees was the morning DJ at WSGN 610 in Birmingham...he didn't stay any longer than he had to on his way up.

    First car: 1979 Mazda GLC. To be honest, not sure if I ever even had my name on it.

    Second car: 1963 Buick Riviera. Saw it sitting on a used dealer lot on State Street in Salt Lake City as I was test driving a Camaro from another used car dealer. Bought the Buick about an hour later.

    1969 Buick Skylark in about 1975. Fun car. 34 years later, I recently got my 1970.

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    My first car was a 1970 Chevelle 300 Deluxe 4 door sedan with a straight six in it. It was slower than the Second Coming, and leaked enough oil to keep the Saudis rolling in green. It was s--t green, and soon got the nickname of the Turtle. That was in 1980. It was a POS, and when I junked it I bought my first real car, a 1975 LeSabre Custom with a full load. Thanks to that first clunker, I've hated Chevys ever since.
