Post your Fathers first car

1967 Oldsmobile cutlass - turquoise

He got at when he was 15 for $500

Who knows, he will never give a clear answer

lj torana, all i know is it was red.

Mk2 Ford escort

why the fuck does Ford sell its best vehicles outside the US?

ayy lmao

Supposedly a white mk2 Golf, I imagine it looked pretty much like this one.

My dad bought a chevette for $50 and a tire because the guy just wanted it out of the yard and it wouldn't start.

Drove the shit out of it until some woman in a Buick t boned him and he got around $1500 from insurance.

Some french shitbox(he was french) but the sellers had a double of the keys and stole it. It was in Canada in the late 60s once he got a real job he went full burger and bought an auto camaro.

'73 Plymouth Duster w/ 3 speed manual
Same color as pic

A 79 Red 2cv, it was used for "racing", it was a popular racing car category in south america, so it had a roll cage and and some interior panels removed, the water leaked trough the windshield on rainy days, the floor had holes, in general the body was in pretty rough condition, but it was pretty fast in comparison to a stock 2cv.

My dad used it up until around 2005, when the car is too far gone and my dad bought a Hyundai Accent.

In hindsight, I should've just asked him to keep the until I was old enough to get my driver's license. If nothing else it would be a nice car restoration project.

shared with my uncle but it still counts

'67 Roadrunner
Had an engine swap out of a stolen police package
Pretty cool and apparently he was the fastest at the strip and on the street but none of that matters since his was automatic and automatically gayer than my miata

1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass. He got it when he was 17.

It was orange with a white top.

Socialism reporting in. His was identical, and by that I mean the color, other than the color they all were nearly identical anyway.

Cuz U.S. Ford has nothing to do with the Europ Ferds.

Probably a Chilean CIM jeep from his time in the army

Best dads.
>tfw your dad had a built late-60's Cutlass that he had to sell to have money for when you were born
Worst fucking feel. At one point he also had a '77 88 that he paid way less for than he should have because it was one of the cars that still had the proper Rocket V8 instead of the Chevy small block and didn't tell the guy he was buying from that he knew which engine was which.

Basically everyone's father's first car.

A green 1965 Opel Kadett B, the "1200 S" model

Fiat 131, he was too tall for anything smaller

...

Ranchero Squire

>TFW dad had one.
Well. I guess you're right.

...

Yup, it was also my dad's first car. He chose it over a Morris Mini, and he regrets it to this day.

Damn son, my pops bought that same car buy in yellow when i was born (93). It was also my first car.

Renault 5

Early 70s beetle

I swear to god that your dad was my highschool Automotive teacher

Does he live in Nevada?

my father had an encore

Nice color combo on the duster

He apparently rear ended the damn thing the first weekend he had it at the beach.

how do you rear end your owwn car?

Idk if it was his first or not, but I think my dad was driving a brown 300zx (z31) when he met my mother. May very well have something to do with why I exist. Thank you Nissan. Pic related, not his but very similar.

...

Holy fuck is he the king of the beaners?

What, are you like 80 or something?

As a first car. God damn

By backing it into a wall or something like that I'm just using the terminology he used.

>'70 dodge dart in sublime green
>grandpas buddy died and wills it to him
>grandpa favors his work truck
>sells it to my then 12 year old dad for 200 american dollars

The 70s were a different time. A better time.

white as snow surprisingly

No, michigan, he is my automotive teacher though.

>mfw im retarded

A white 1966 Pontiac Bonneville with a red leather interior.

It was, by all accounts, a beast. He says that turning corners was like steering the Queen Mary. The trunk was big enough to fit two mountain bikes with room to spare. We were at a car show once and he saw one identical to his, and I swear he almost cried.

Not a bad car, that's for damn sure. But he fucking hates American cars now.

He never bought a car he would always drive his moms car or my moms car. I guess this is the closest to what he "owns" when he was a cop in the 80s

R5 GT Turbo

77 Celica GT, his was green though. He gave it to a friend of his who then gave it to his sister who wrecked it.

He wishes he never did and wishes he still had it.

His first car was a 1973 Pontiac grand prix he bought in 1977. Thing had a 455 and went like hell and drank fuel like it was going out of style

...

1956 Volkwagen Karmann Ghia
He never told me what color it was, but he did say that it was slower than molasses, but he lived within DC and said it was a perfect commuter car that handled well

This

Morris Mini 850 - late 60s

The first thing he did was max it out on the King's Road, London.

Forgot pic

66 Mercury Monterey Breezeway Coupé

I don't know what his first car was but when he married my mom he had a late 80s Chevy S10. He was only 21 when he got married so it's possible that the first vehicle he owned was that truck

1974 AMC Gremlin.

This.

watched City of God last night again, was wondering what that car they stole was.
thanks, user

He drove a spitfire in high school, then sold it and bought a mk2 GTI

Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint Veloce

My dads first car was a 1969 Roadrunner. I don't know what he paid but he said he bought it for cheap off his neighbor. The neighbor thought the timing was absolutely fucked but his friend who had mechanical knowledge realized it was an easy fix.

1970 Corolla with no options

One of this first "mods" was installing carpet. Shag, because 70s.

heh, not mine

A '65 GTO 4-speed that was a year old at the time.

My biological never owned a car but my step dad had a '67 mustang

...

Is that yur mum?

1975 ford maverick was mom's first car.

>tfw no dad

god.. i want one of those

The joys of living in the eastern bloc.

'73 Toyota Celica GT

He worked in auto detailing and kept it around for a while
After he totaled it when going 70 in a 40 he got the same exact kind of Ford Bronco OJ had and sold it because of the trials

73' Chevy Nova Rally Sport.
