The first car I ever bought was a 1960 Mercury Comet. Actually, I didn't really buy it, I painted a room in a house for it. If that tells you anything. I built my next car, a dune buggy. I guess the first car I "bought" was a 1950 FordF-1 pickup,a hundred bucks. Really wish I had that one back. First new car was a 1972Mercury Capri, German built. Hmmmmm.
