1984 Chev Impala, 305, auto., bench seat, no options. it was a burgundy and cream two tone. bought it from a guy with a body shop for $650 in the spring and sold it to a buddy in the fall for the same ammount. great first car, could run into anything and it didnt matter haha.
I was a "sophomore" in high school and my first car was a used 1948 Ford two-door. Shortly after I traded for a 1948 Studebaker (what?). No pics however. That was before cameras.
1971 Plymouth Road Runner.
Parents were the original owners/ bought brand new in 71. My brother drove it in the late 80s for about 2 years when he turned 16 and then handed it down to me. That car ran like a champ and never gave me a bit of trouble. The only thing we ever had to have fixed on it in 31 years was the radiator.
Mom ended up selling it while I was stationed in Japan to a guy for $250. I didnt know until two years later when I returned in 2004. Lesson learned: next time transfer the title before you go overseas.

+1 to what joe912 said about cars in Alaska. My Passat does just fine if you do your part. Of course, the argument of "only X car is worth a damn" is a lot like people that say "you should only use a gauge for home protection" ....
Now, for the question in the OP, my first set of wheels was a 85 Olds Delta 88 Royale. Not an actual picture, that is somewhere around here and not in digital format, but this is one like it, same color

my first car was a hand me down from my older sister.. it got me through HS..
the first car I bought with my own money after HS was a 68 GTO..
which I totaled on a late night trip back from my GF's (future wife) at 3am (2 weeks before I was to report for the service)
obviously pictures from the web.. I'll find some of my own and scan them.
