The first one I got to drive was the family car - a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 (yeah, it was spelled that way).
The first one I bought was a white 2 door 1/4 vinyl top 1971 Ford Gran Torino Sport with a 351 Cleveland engine. Mag wheels, dual exhausts, bucket seats, air shocks...fast car, but looked very 'normal'...was always being challenged by idiots in jacked-up Chevy Nova's, pulling up alongside me...revving their engines to say, let's go!! I would be quietly waiting for them down at the next light each time, with my patented 'are we done?' look.
