Mine was a 57 VW with 36 hp. I could lift the entire engine by myself (I was younger and dumber then).

Ha! I'm with you Zeee! Mine was 60 VW that was my "first" engine rebuild.... Amazing the car went up hills!

I even had oversized tires - 14" (with the adapters) on the back which made it even worse!
The good old days!

Had to have been the first car I ever owned. When I was 16, my father gave me a '53 Chevy. Six banger 3 on the tree. Top speed was 60 mph.

I also had a '53 Chevy, the first I was able to drive at age 16. I think they only came with a stick. Mine was a two tone grey/cream. As I recall, mine surely went faster than 60.

Believe mine was a '76 Chevette....at that time my girlfriend (now Mrs Zippy) had a 4 on the floor Pontiac Formula Firebird. I loved driving her car. Now, she is happy with her '97 Contour with 5 on the floor!

BTW, also had an R75/5 BMW scooter then.

There was NO car slower than the 1976 240 Mercedes Diesel I had. An automatic that weighed over 4000lbs. It was a slug. Could barely make it up a hill. With the air on it was REALLY slow.

[Z06Scott]

My daily driver. '94 Escort. Not only is it a 4 banger, its an automatic. Usually makes me drive my Z like I stole it, when I finally do get in it. All that pent up frustration from driving a slow car.

[Z06JIM]

I also was a member of the 53 Chevy club. Mine was a green 4 door wagon with blacked out rear and side windows and a mattress in back

, my girlfriends parents just loved that car

.

Frank, I also think your wrong about that 60 MPH top speed, I'm sure I remember at least 75 MPH

, But If memory serves me right that was down hill with a stiff tail wind

.

Bye the way, they did come with auto trans, mine was a 2 speed power glide, what a dog.

1958 Simca 4 speed on the column and I bought it in high school because the bench front seat folded down and mated with the back seat to form a double bed. Never "really" used it but boy I was ready if the opportunity presented itself and it was worth it just to see my date's expression when I cranked that seat back in the drive in movie.
