DrW Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Sorry, I don't have an original pic, but it looked like this (even the color is correct), only with a German license plate. It was a "Super Beetle" with an 50 HP engine and a semi-automatic transmission. With this transmission, there was no clutch, but you had to shift once when you reached 25-30 mph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's first car was a 68 beetle from her grandpa who bought it new and we had it until 2008. Sold it to a guy who wanted to spend a lot restoring it.

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 3 hours ago, Gray Beard said: my parents let me call the old family truckster “my car” for a few months when I was a senior in college. 1969 Ford Ranch Wagon with a 390 ci v8. It never saw a gas station that it didn’t like. After college i bought a car a car that my friends and I referred to as the “go kart”. A 1973 Toyota Celica that was amateurishly repaired after an accident. Mine was silver. Amazing that Celica in the picture is not rusted out. But, by the looks of the plates in the pic... It appears to be in California. My uncle had a 1976... The thing withered away from being exposed to the harsh BFLo winters of the late 1970s... Same with our 1981 Mazda GLC... By 1985... The floor boards were rotting through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 1968 Ford Galaxy back during the late 1970's. Don't readily have a pic but they appeared on nearly every television show back during the late 1960's for a family car. At least on the shows sponsored (furnished vehicles) by Ford such as Andy Griffith and Mayberry RFD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First brand new car from dealer was this. Great "trail vehicle"... I lifted leaf springs (added leafs) and 1" body lift and crammed 31s on it... ...Until I blew the head gasket on that poor stressed out 1.2L up on Salmon River in Pulaski, NY... Traveling to work in hydrographic survey for the Corps. Built like an ATV, but not for the Thuway... 1986 Sanurai... Fit like an ATV on trail.
