Where were you in 1960

[Hugh]

Just found this post! I graduated college in 1960. My first car was this bright red 1940 Ford convertable that I drove in college:

When I wasn't riding this Harley:


After I got my first job out of college, I bought this MG:


This is a picture of my little brother & his girlfriend in my Austin Healy that I traded the MG in for, that's his Jeep in the background:

Kewl!!!

I owned 4 of the big Healeys back in the 70's...3 100/6's (like the one in the pic) and 1 3000...Had one set up for SCCA Class E in 1975; made it to the drivers school at Watkins Glen, lost oil pressure during the familiarization lap...Didn't have enough money to rebuild the engine AND race it, so traded it for a Yamaha DT1-B flat track motorcycle...Raced that for two years before admitting I would never be a winner...

The big Healeys were fun...Weak pressed sheet steel frames, though - rusted out pretty quick...The last one I owned, I fabricated a new frame for and put a Datsun 240Z engine & trans into...Plus TR6 steering & brakes...
