How old were you in that picture? I was 20 when I bought my truck in 1987.

[Aussie Ol' Blue]

Is that a vinyl top on that GMC in the last post or just black paint?

[SS Tim]

Textured paint.

Tim, thanks for the info. You are a wealth of information sir.

Here is my dad's old '67 Mustang and '71 Camaro in about 1973.

Back in the day (If I remember correctly) there was an advertisement for BB CST’s that read:
120MPH and still bring home the groceries.
Does anyone remember this?
Thanks,
Jake

My Mom's first car, the reason she looks so bummed is it always broke down, YES it's a Ford. And my first car, bought in 1968 for $275.00 and my Dad said I got ripped off.

So cool. To think what either of those would be worth now, even if they were rusted out.

My first car was a 1957 210 2 dr post, 265 powerglide, bought in 1968.

We gave $350.00 for it. This is the "Land of Opportunity" you know.

Who's 62 in the background? We have 62 SS convertible now.

[CarterD2015]

Here is mine in the mid 80's

[Lees68GMC]

Wow, a drop top, NICE. The 62 SS pictured belonged to the Dewale family, neighbors that's their house behind it. Custom built homes in that area (Wheat Ridge, Colorado) were really expensive back then around $25,000.00

My first car, 1966 Mustang, bought her from my grandma for $500 in '76 when i got my license. that was when i was young and realized what a blue oval was... lol

[jocko]

first car/first truck (and the only known pic of the truck at that):

[67-C20-CST]

My grandfather bought the truck new in 1967 my Dad bought it off of him in 1977 and I just bought it from my Dad. The first picture is My Dad and me in 1983 (I was 10 years old) the second is the same truck now..

I searched "vintage pictures", found this cool thread! I don't have any Custom series, but have a few Advanced Design to get scanned; and many 1957 Chevy wagon, Ford pickup (I'm sure nobody wants to see his pickup parked on the rim of the Grand Canyon), that don't fit in this forum.
Oh what the heck, here is my dad's father's Dodge pickup at the South Rim entrance to some park.

[89AKurt]

This was my dad's father's brand new 1957 Chevrolet Handyman wagon. I always loved riding along when we visited. Just before I got old enough to drive, he traded it for a 1972 Chevy (Isuzu) LUV pickup, which I used for awhile, and it was a P.O.S.

My blazer in the late 70s before and after repaint.
