My first car was a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe (2 dr. sedan) like
this one only black:

My grandfather purchased it at a farm auction for $11. We pulled it
home, rebuilt the brakes and put a clutch plate in it and I drove it
to work and school.
A couple of months earlier, my cousin's grandfather had purchased him
his first car, a 1953 Cranbrooke, for $12.50 at another farm auction.
That meant that I "beat him" by $1.50, although one could correctly
argue that he got a three years' newer car for his $1.50.
I like the car, but I wasn't exactly cool, since this was the mid-70s
when the cool kids were driving Mustangs and Chevelle's and such.
Something tells me that most of those Mustang and Chevelle are now
Canon and Nikon shooters.

Once an oddball, always an oddball.
