Default First to own... First to ride in!

Here's the first car I owned. My 1967 Plymouth Fury III land yacht... 440 Mopar engine with 2 bbl carb... of course the weight of the car took that much power to keep up... I remember 8mpg - of course the gas was 14 cents a gallon in 1970.



Here's the first car I rode in. It's a 1950 Dodge. I'm in the picture (not visible) with my mother... The Dodge had a Fluid Drive transmission. I remember it being fun to watch my Mother shift this car...
