So what rides did you have in your teens? How did you fix them up.

In high school I originally had to share a car with 2 of my sisters
(OMG). I think it was an early 1960's Rambler.

I finally got my own ride Junior year...........a 1964 Chevelle Malibu
with an Earl Sheib paint job, a Thrush muffler and moonie caps on the
wheels.

I eventually sold that and bought a 1965 Chevy Impala Convertible (bought
it from the owner of the gas station I worked part time for).

That car lasted me till it was stolen and I replaced it with a '64 Ford
Galaxy I got for a steal from a neighbor.

End of teenage cars.

So how about you?

1962 Morris Minor 850 Station Wagon at age 16.
Went out and ran it into the rear end of a Volkswagen Bug. That screwed
me up for a year or two.
Then I bought a 1967 Honda CB160 motorcycle.
Last car in my teens was a 1963 Pontiac Parisienne 4 door sedan.


I never heard of a Morris.
