Whenever we had to make a trip intorepparttar city (New York that is), my father made me drive while he sat inrepparttar 150333 back seat. It had a amazingly comfortable ride, even with allrepparttar 150334 pot holes onrepparttar 150335 Long Island Expressway! In addition to drives intorepparttar 150336 city, I had loads of fun inrepparttar 150337 Black Beauty with my friends.

Unfortunately I had to sellrepparttar 150338 “Black Beauty” when my husband and I went off to graduate school. However, don’t feel too bad, we had replaced it with a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am, yep,repparttar 150339 last ofrepparttar 150340 big 455’s. Plus we hadrepparttar 150341 engine blue printed, balanced and a whole lot more, so it really hauled a**!

We soldrepparttar 150342 Black Beauty to a neighbor, who took outrepparttar 150343 vinyl seats and lo and beholdrepparttar 150344 cloth ones were in excellent condition. He eventually sold it to his brother in Brooklyn, who while driving one day went to step onrepparttar 150345 brake pedal and his foot went throughrepparttar 150346 floor. Unfortunatelyrepparttar 150347 harsh NY winters aren’t kind to cars!

I think many of us wax sentimental when we think of our first car, I know I do! Luckily , I still have my pictures and some very great memories of my “Black Beauty”!

Drive On!
