I bought my first car in August of 1955 - I had just turned 15. I found a nice little1937 Ford 4 Door Sedan in the newspaper and after much haggling, I paid the princely sum of $85.00 for the car. It ran great and the body was in pretty good shape, it just needed some work in the interior. I was not able to get a license until for another 6 months, so with the help of a kindly neighbor, Mrs. Tucker, we re-upholstered the old Ford in red and white striped canvas...not my first choice, but it really looked pretty good. I drove the '37 all through high school and my freshman year at Texas A&M. I still have a soft spot in my heart for the old Fords.
