It kind of has my first car. I had it somewhere before I passed it onto the owner. 70 Challenger T/A, they have the standard Challenger Brochure. Plus, there were options brochures that they don't have among many other trims that had their own brochures because of major differences.

Also, some brochures were more localized. Not that I collect brochures, cool hobby if someone did.

Doesn't have my first auto handed down from my mother (1991 Audi 100) or the first I bought myself (90 Cadillac Eldorado).

It doesn't have mine either, but I looked at the 1990 model.
I had a 1988 Ford Taurus. I called it the Purple Pill. That car was a pile of garbage.

My first car was a 1977 robin's egg blue Plymouth Volare. Blue over dark blue (a hideous combination). No radio, so boom box up front in the bench seat!

Triumph, Aldo Nova and The Scorps never sounded so good!

Thanks Gramps. He replaced it with a fancy golden colored Ford Tempo!

My first car was a '92 Corolla...but that's not an American car so it didn't seem to have it.

So was I.

That's partly why I became a 'car guy'. The cars I had as a young buck were such shit that I came to grace as an adult.

Although I did have a Honda CRX Si in college. I fucking LOVED that car and would give a nut to have it back now.

Best friend's first car in high school (1986/87 ish) - an '84 Toyota Supra. What an AWESOME and iconic car. Dickhead. Hate him for that. Parent's spoiled his ass.

73 Mercury Capri. Not there. Cool car. V6 with 4 speed but all I wanted was a Chevelle SS with big block. Got one a year later.

I was hunting down a 1G Capri for some time. IMO, it's got so much untapped potential for a retromod. One of the best of the decade.

Nice! My first car was a 1980 Mercury Zephyr wagon with a stock AM radio, so I'm familiar with that setup. It also had an inline 6 that sounded like a school bus, a fucked up choke that idled the car at 25mph and power steering that only worked on right turns.

The thing was a rolling death trap, but I miss it like no other car I've ever owned.

1971 Volskwagen Camper. The week I got my license I was idling at a stop light and the engine block cracked. The engine fell onto the street but I was able to drive it to a gas station parking lot while dragging the engine

I've always wanted one of those.
Srsly.

First was a 78' Toyota Corolla, which I somehow managed to accumulate speeding tics in despite the fact it had zero pickup.

The second was a modified 72' Challenger, black of course...bye bye drivers license within 6 months.:lol:
