My very first car was left to me by my Grandfather:
1960 Studebaker Lark, Beige with a L-6 Flathead engine & 3-on-the-Tree standard tranny. I drove this car for 2 years until I blew the engine.
My next purchase was sort of a "muscle car":
1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S with an auto tranny. The 225 slant six engine was bored to 234 and had a 4 bbl Holley, headers and an exhaust dump. This car would run low 17's and regualrly beat V8's at the strip.
After the service I briefly had one of these:
1957 BMW Isetta 300... I kept it for a while, but it never ran very well. It had a 298cc motorcycle engine, 4 spd tranny and
chain drive connected between the gearbox and the rear axle. Popularly known as "bubble car" "egg mobile" and "coffin car", I never drove it much - it was unnerving not having anything in front of the door and steering wheel!
Pretty oddball cars, in my opinion....
