First car I bought when I was able to drive-1961 Plymouth Sport Fury

A strange-looking bug-eyed monster with a push-button automatic transmission. You feel pretty silly drag racing someone pushing buttons on the dash . . . I paid $250 and drove it for a year until I bought my first Mustang. This is even the right color. A local town had one just like it for the fire chief's car.

It was $1500. I wish I hadn't sold it. Worth about $45K now.
