A lot of people didn't know what to think of the slammed turbo firefly that was meticulously waxed on 15's with a bitchin' stereo system in it. Was definitely one of the "nicest" cars in the lot, if not the newest or "coolest". Of course, by the time I graduated I had had something like 10 cars, so everyone knew I was nuts!

One girl I knew in HS in the late 70's drove a Model A Ford sedan on occasion.
I drove a '63 Belair, which was considered a chalky, slow,, ancient POS by most of the kids. It was only in its mid-teens!
Dads first car was a 1963 Belair, 4-door post sedan. Straight six, no options. He got it when it was about 8 years old with 2,300 miles on it from his grandparents.
I drove a 1965 Chevelle, 4-door post sedan. Straight 6, powerglide and no options as in no power steering and no power brakes which were also drum front & rear with a leaky rear window that would pool water in the back seat floor and trunk. The car was also only 9 years old at the time. Tremendously slow, got beat at a stoplight to stoplight by a Pinto with 4 adults in it once. But I did use the bench seats.
