My husband and I were married in '55 and bought our first car that year. It was a '55 Olds 88. Paid $3400......most of which I paid.
The best car I ever had was a '75 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. I was my 20th wedding anniversary gift and had everything on it but built in birth control. I had that darn thing for three weeks before I had discovered all the gadgets. It was wonderful!! I drove it for 15 years. Had over 250,000 miles on it.
