First Car

My first car was a 1961 Mercury Montery Convertible, baby blue with a white top, in 1965. It was my parents car for 2 years then my older brother’s, then mine. Pretty nice ride in HS. My first new car was a '67 Mustang hardtop dark blue, with 289 V8, 3 speed stick, 2 barrel carb, wide oval tires. The tires were toast in about 10,000 miles (no radials back then). Wish I had both these cars back. The Mustang was FAST even if it wasn’t a high performance version.
