63. 1968 Olds Cutlass F-85

My parents bought it for $300 in 1981 to be the "kids car". It was awesome, but not good on snow and ice, because it didn't have front wheel drive. It also took leaded gas, which at the time was cheaper than unleaded. It only got about 12 mpg, but it went fast.

When we drove it, it was rusting in some spots pretty badly. But my senior year of high school, when my brother was away at college, it was all mine! It started every morning, even when it was covered in several inches of snow and my mom's new Dodge Colt parked in the garage wouldn't.
