My first ride was a white 1962 Corvair Monza (like this) with red intrerior, complete with 2-speed auto, which one shifted with a lever on the dash.  I paid $20 for the beast, towed it home, spent a weekend patching rust holes, then another week getting it to run.  As a point of interest, I bought the car from Ms. Bessy Octucher, aunt of Jack Ostrander, from Pontiac, MI, and was a big name in IHRA, NHRA & NDBA racing.  He spent a lot of time on our lake, running around in a big-motored hydroplane speed boat when I was a kid.  Our first Corvette is the 1964 (joined our family in February 1985) convertible we drive now.

^^^  That is awesome coolness points right there! :wub

 

As opposed to some of us (ahem) who still wallow in regret over previous Corvettes let go. . .:(
