What was the first car you remember falling in love with?

I was 8 years old in 1971, walking with my Grandma on main street to the sewing store. There, parked at the curb was a new In Violet with white strobe stripe '71 Road Runner like the one below. I will always remember that little Road Runner head in the grill. I told my Grandma that I would own one someday. Needless to say, she was not excited about that and told me so. Since 1979, I have owned 29 Road Runners in various conditions. I will always own #27, a hemi orange '71 Road Runner.

A friend of the family had a 1956 Desoto 4-door hardtop, in blue and white. I think that was the first car that I thought was special. I would have been 9 years old.

1969 Dodge Charger. A couple of years before "The Dukes of Hazzard" appeared on our TV screens, I was at High School and found a book with a racing Charger ...black & white photo - in a school library book. That page got torn out and I have it in a photo album to this day.

A couple of years earlier at Intermediate School (pre–High School) my friend and I were drooling over another book with all sorts of customs bugs and cars etc...and a Little Red Wagon Dodge A100.

Aged 19, I managed to buy a '69 Charger locally, and enjoyed it for about 4 years before selling it on. Then in 2009 I was scouring Auto Trader adverts online with another friend looking at all sorts of Dodge vans and Campers..... and ended up my A100. So dream do come true if you work at them.
