my first car was a 1951 Plymouth Cambridge (year of my birth) ... 4-dr sedan ... flathead 6-cylinder, three-on-the-tree, ugly light green color, ... cost me $15, needed a clutch (cost $15), lost it to my best friend in a game of pool after I blew the rear end out of it (the bet was $15 against the car) ... he bought a rear end for $15, drove it for another year ... finally, he drove it to a junkyard, where they gave him $15 for it ... years later, I was at that junkyard, they had torched the rear half of the body off of it, used it in the yard to fetch parts ... as a joke, I asked the guy if he would sell it to me ... he said he would take $15 for it ... absolutely true story
