My First Car

 I remember my first car in 1974 or '75. it was a 1966 Chevy Impala station wagon. Yes, I chose a station wagon. Cost: $600 - a fair amount in those days. At the time, I thought it was cool. I put mag wheels on it and my shift handle for the 2-speed automatic "on the tree" was a Budweiser tap handle. And I had a local artist friend paint a cool desert theme on the long side windows to match the white over copper/gold color of my car. It was still common for cars to only have AM radio so I wired an 8-track/FM inside my glove compartment. About 3 years later, I traded that car to my brother for his 1966 2-door Oldsmobile Cutlass.
