jrhoads Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) You may be cool. But you are not 16 years old showing your first car at your first car show cool!..... Edited August 15, 2015 by jrhoads 3 Quote
48ply1stcar Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 You're right, it wasn't cool to have a $75-48 Plymouth as your daily driver when you're 16 in 1968. The red square in the lower left-hand corner of the windshield is my high school parking permit. Quote
plymouthcranbrook Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I had a 54 Plymouth Savoy in 1968-69 in High School. Unbelievably Uncool. Laughed at a lot. Beat walking though. That young man is defiantly Cool in today's world though. Edited August 15, 2015 by plymouthcranbrook 2 Quote
46Ply Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I never was cool! I had a 1947 Plymouth as a senior in High School in 1959.... Paid $150 for it. But I liked my car. (It's the one in the avatar). Actually, I was cool. I drove this car three years in Illinois with no heater. The car came from Florida!! Edited August 15, 2015 by 46Ply Quote
mattimuss Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 When it comes to "un-cool" I have you all beat! My first car, and the one I drove to high school, was a 1972 Chevy Vega Hatchback...rust-bucket-supreme! I called it the "Mosquito Killer" because is used oil so badly that when I came to a stop at a traffic light a large blue cloud of smoke would eventually envelope the car. I would stop at the gas station and top off the oil and check the gas. It was thirteen different colors, a teen's feeble attempt at rust repair and body work! But you know what, I loved that car! It was FREEDOM! Quote
Bingster Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 I had a 1960 MG MCA convertible in high school that I bought for $400 that I saved up from working at various jobs in high school. I got it my senior year. My dad knew a fella that painted cars and he painted it MG white for $100. Now, that car was cool and the kids at school thought the same thing. I sold it immediately after graduation to move outta my folks house. That's how bad I wanted out! Quote

mattimuss Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 Nope, not bragging...reminiscing maybe Every time I see an old Vega, and that's not frequently anymore, I just smile and take a trip to yesteryear. Sometimes I even smell burnt oil! Quote
