The question was what were you driving in 1966 as a daily driver.....not what was your first car.....


My first car was a 1955 Buick that I got when I was about 15. I figured if I worked on a car it would help me learn to be a mechanic So I got this Buick for about $20. I think the trans was puked......

I started it up all the time and drove it from our front yard to the backyard on the grass leaving a trail of trans oil wherever I went. The battery wasn't charging so the local car expert and general all around cool guy said the generator must be bad. I tried to remove it and broke the end plate. I took it to the car guy and asked him if it could be welded to fix it and he laughed and said you can't weld that...it's pot metal.........So my start as a mechanic didnt go so well......I junked the Buick.......

First car that I drove as a senior in high school was my fathers former car...a 1955 Pontiac....Not much of a car but better than walking....LOL
