All the Taxi drivers had Standard Vanguards, might put a pic on. The first car in our house was an old Standard 8 with a cracked block, which was soon changed to a Hillman Minx.
My first car was a Ford Consul Convertible, clapped out, but a great passion waggon.

I remember a new mid fifties black Ford Fairlane...we loaded that new car up and drove to Fallbrook California to visit relatives....I remember my best friend and I stuffed out big crimson slips under the seats after my mother told us we could not take them....lol. it was a grand trip.
Father was legally blind, mother had drivers license but didn't drive so a car was not family transportation until I turned 16. I didn't like the car my father chose, it was a 1952 Plymouth. Better known now as a beater car. I admit my father was right to use that as a car to learn on even though I got my license at 16. Never drove before age 16 but was able to pass the test two weeks after I turned 16.
My family's first car that I remember- a 1954 Nash Ambassador. When your friends drive up in a '57 Chevy with fins, and you crawl up in that thing!!!!!!
Surplus ww2 army Jeep with 2nd gear and reverse, no brakes though. I pulled cotton trailers to the suction with it. I paid $50 for it and had to have it in my job for work, never got stuck in it though.
1950 Studebaker Champion (the old bullet nose). It's always been my favorite classic car. We had it for awhile in Rochester, NY when I was a child. It wasn't this color of course.
I can picture it, but I don't know what kind it was... *maybe* an Impala from the 60s. Besides that, though, my dad had a cool little Renault he used for work.
