Big Chuck’s First Car Was a 1963 Dodge Dart. What Was Yours?

As our teenagers grow older grumblings about "not having a car" start to become more pronounced around our house. It got me to thinking about what a big deal your first car really is.

Mine was a 1963 blue Dodge Dart. It had all the hallmarks of the cars of that day: a long slippery bench seat in the front, a cigarette lighter, wing windows, AM radio, high beam knob on the floor, etc. It cost me $600 to buy in 1968. I loved that old car.
