Subject: My first Val Author: Alison [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:32:57 02/20/06 Mon My first car was a 1970 Plymouth Valiant Duster, pea green with an indestructible /6. I really wanted my brother’s ’73 Dodge Polara but he refused to sell it to me saying it was unreliable. What 16 year old dreaming of their first car thinks about reliable?? I had been driving his Polara for the last year while he traveled around the country on his motorcycle and just loved it. I could put 4 people in the front seat and 4 more in the back. It had A/C and an 8 track! So anyway I ended up buying my sister’s Duster, which was also her first car. She bought it off the Chrysler employee lease lot in Detroit and drove it literally all over the world. She was in the Air Force and took the car with her to Greece, Yugoslavia, and all over the US. By the time I got it, it had over 100,000 miles but she had taken great care of it. I never got further from home than Canada and Ohio but it never once even came close to letting me down. Being a dopey kid I sold it after about a year to one of my teachers. He drove it for years after that. I tried a bunch of other cars but ended up settling back to A bodies (Darts and Valiants) and drove them until I couldn’t find them anymore. That is until I moved out of the rust belt….now I have another Valiant. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
