I purchased this car with a little bit of money I had saved and my very first loan from the County Federal Credit Union. The car was a 1975 black Oldsmobile Cutlass. I bought it from my sister and her husband.
I spent every dime I had fixing it up and painting it. I remember taking this car to my very first prom. I cleaned and washed it so much I could have very easily waxed the paint right off it.
The local police knew the car quite well; several speeding tickets were issued while I was behind the wheel.
The license plate from that car is hanging in my garage today with its original registration next to it. To this day I still search for another car like it.
We all know that you never forget your first car and all the memories that are made with them.
Remembering my first car
It was the summer of 1984; I was 16 and got my first real job pumping gas at MPG on Main Street in Presque Isle.
