Soooooo Typical back then.......the car came FIRST. ;-)

The first car I bought my wife while we were attending Eastern Washington State College back in the early '70s. A 1965 Mustang Convertible with a 289 and 4spd. She didn't know how to drive a stick shift, so I taught her and she did very well. That trailer was our home until I graduated and it worked very well for us and saved us alot of money. To the right is a small ski boat we had just restored for the fun of it. We restored everything we got our hands on. Cars, trailers, boats and even a 1958 Triumph 350 Cub Motorcycle. We tackled it all and had fun doing it together. ;-)

My first car as a HS Sophomore, a 1955 Ford Customline. This one started my car obsession. I bought it at the end of my 9th grade (even though I couldn't drive it legally yet) but I had fun fixing it up and eventually learning to drive and get my license (on the first try). At the end of my Sophomore year I found my dream car that only Beach Boy songs are written about. It was a '62 Impala SS with the factory "409" engine, dual 4 carbs and 4spd. It was red with black interior and it passed everything on the road except the gas stations! High Octane Chevron Custom Supreme at .42c per gallon which I thought was expensive back then. Hahaha... ;-)

My '64 Dodge Polara 2dr Htp. I had this one just before I got my yellow '67 Barracuda shown below around 1995 in Walla Walla Washington. I actually found this on a regular used car lot and it had maybe 80,000 miles on it. This was one of my favorites back then. You rarely see them anymore.

Here's a '76 Corvette I restored and sprayed last Fall 2025 (before and after photos).

At last count, I think I've owned 16 of them over the past 50 years! Most of them C3s.

Exactly..... because we were young once too and know how it's done. ;-).

Our '62 Impala around 1997. Last photo shows as we bought it. Tan exterior and interior. I painted it metalic blue and dyed the interior black. The black spoke American "Torque Thrust" wheels really helped set it off. Great cruiser car.
