That's a nice one Bro  the first car I paid for and brought home was a old 54 station wagon, like the one below...it was a faded rusty old thang, think the name of the paint was meadow green or sumpin like that.. Axe may remember this, I bought it from the science teacher at school... Mr. Merrit...remember him Axe?? I remember Ma callin him and giving him HELL...because One, it was REAL Rough...and two...I didn't have a license  it had a V8 in it...leaked so much oil outa the rear seal, I carried a dish pan with me...if I parked for more than a hour...I would sit the pan under it, collect the dripping oil... and pour it back in recycling  |

My first one was a 1969 Dodge Dart GTS with a 273 V8 engine. It sure got good gas mileage. It was tan, with no stripe.  Rita: your red Swinger looks like one my brother bought when he got out of the Navy. His was red 1973. |

Thats a cool ole car Jack .. reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde or something they sure have taken all the style out of cars. |

I agree Rita. It does look like a Bonnie and Clyde car. Jack, what year is it?
My guess, mid '30's to early 40's.
Thanks everyone for posting your pics.

my first car was a 68 biscane it had a radiator from an old pickup so the hood wouldnt close i had to carry oil it used so much. It had a 3 on the tree that stuck between first and second gear only when i was someplace i wasnt supposed to be and only my dad knew how to get it unstuck that old car ran forever

Actually it aint as old as I said. It aint 1040 but a 1940 10/4 which means 10 horses and 4 cylinders.

Jack, I would have guessed it was a V8, by the length of the bonnet (hood)
