First Car - 1967 Galaxie 500 |
Ah, the summer of 1986… Expo was in Vancouver, Honeymoon
Suite was the hot band on the radio and it was time for my first set of wheels. After
selling the dirt bike, taking a hammer to my piggy bank and working Saturdays
at my old man’s truck shop in Cloverdale I scrapped up a whopping $600 to buy
my first car. With just 32,436 miles on the odometer this 1967 Galaxie 500 was
all mine. 4 wheel drum manual brakes, no power steering and only lap seat belts…
but I didn't care, it was my first ride, the sun was shining and I had a smile
on my face. J
1986 was a fine year indeed! Great post Jim. Brings back some great memories...
