First car was a 1950 Ford Prefect; bought used from a doctor's wife in Ancaster. Paid $250
10hp and vacuum wipers that didn't work when you hit the gas, did have leather seats however. I was about 16. Unlike the photo above the car was in green.
Last year I did manage to find a diecast of this very car and in the correct colour, as it was manufactured by a company that had gone out of business about 20 years ago it was quite rare and almost cost me as much as the original car did.
Favourite car, a 1969 Z28 Camaro
Bought it new the same day I quit my job. The orange/white paint made it the car of choice for the police to pull over. Never ever did get a ticket though. Had 4:11 rear gears and could easily go through a tank in a day. Had to use Sunoco 260, cost a little above 50 cents a gallon in those days. FUN to drive.
