What was your first car...???
One's first car is usually quite a memorable experience...a rite of passage and more. Mine was a 1960 Corvair Monza Spyder. It was white with the "reddest" interior you ever saw. It had four carburetors and dual exhausts...!! Ralph Nader's dream car... What was your first car...??- emigran
