With $12.50 of my own and a $15.00 loan from my Dad, at the age of 15, I purchased my first car - a 1949 Ford.

Shortly afterwards, my girlfriend (and wife of 37 years) and I painted it with a paintbrush. I also soon discovered that it liked to eat throwout bearings regularly. My wife and I performed this task a number of times during the time I owned it.

It was decked out with steering wheel knob, fake whitewalls painted on with white paint and a chrome exhaust pipe tip.

Interior upgrades consisted of a new set of Western Auto seat covers. Unfortunately, while fishing one day, I left the windows down and a horse happened by and couldn't resist taking a few bites out of my new seat covers. Another $5 gone to waste.

This old car served me well and I managed to sell it for a profit (selling price $50) after two years.

Ah, the good ole days!
