I mean oldest model-year.
Though my mom had a '57 Chevy that I drove ... it wasn't actually mine.
So for me, the oldest car I've owned was a 1963 Oldsmobile Super Eighty-eight Holiday Coupe.
Burgundy with white hardtop. Condition VGC overall ... near mint interior. I actually, literally bought it off an old lady who was the original owner and had garaged it after her husband passed and she started driving his car.
Had a 394 Skyrocket "Ultra High Compression" engine.
Beautiful car.
Sold it for a song in 1985. Young and stupid (I can't even go there).
Drives me to drink every time I think of it.
The only photo I have of it is a dingy old polaroid of it sitting in my driveway next to my 1971 AMC 401 Javelin which was sporting M-50's on the rear at the time. (the big tires were on the Javelin ... the Olds was completely stock). The Javalin was another car I should never have gotten rid of.
The pic's not worth digitizing and posting.
However, here are some pictures found online that are nearly identical to the Super 88 I had. ... though like I said, mine was burgundy with a white hardtop.
... air cleaner says "Skyrocket" and "Ultra High Compression"
... this interior is almost identical to mine and is the same color and condition, though my carpeting was better as it had been garage kept for so long.
