Warren,
My first car of the 50s and 60s era was a 1952 Ford with a flat head and three on the tree. Then when I got out of the service I bought my first really good car, a 1958 Fairlane 500 with the 332 Police Interceptor engine and an automatic. I wish I had that car back now as you can't find one and the only one I have seen that was like mine was listed for $32K. I think I gave around $600 dollars for it. That 332 Police Engine was a hit winding motor and once you got above 30 MPH it would go like crazy. I think when I got rid of it I got about the same as I gave for it.
Now my first car at all was somewhat a chopped version of Fred Flintstones Roadster. No brakes, round rock wheels, and 4 foot power as I always had someone ride with me to help move the car.
