1931 Model A Ford 2 door sedan purchased for $25 in 1959. Had to get it out of a guy's barnyard, behind the barn. Body was junk, so I bought another body (primered pink) for $10. A buddy and I actually channelled that thing. It was ugly and barely ran, but it was mine! About a year later, I bought another Model A. This one ran much better, and I got my silly fanny in trouble with it repeatedly until I enlisted in the USAF shortly after high school graduation. Both cars were long gone when Uncle Sam set me free 4 years later. By then I had a 1963 Austin-Healey Sprite, purchased new while serving in France.
