... or the earliest pic you have of any of your 'old' car(s).

I recently reconnected with some old friends that I hadn't talked to for almost 40 years. To my amazement, one sent an email with a bunch of pix from back in the day, including my first car. I wasn't a shutter-bug then, so I don't have a lot of pix from the good 'ol days.

It was a '62 bug with a rag-top sunroof. My brother drove this turd from Alabama to CA when he got out of the Army, then gave it to me after he blew up the old 40-horse motor.

It looked like s#it, but we built the engine to eat V8s. It wasn't quite the 'Iguana' or the 'Inch Pincher', but we had a lot of fun with that car, it was a real sleeper :love:

Also, notice the orange Shakespeare '45' 11M antenna above the rear window (circa: 1970 - when we only had 23 channels to play on) :laugh:

Let's see yours :pop:
