Can't remember with A/C, but my first remembrance was a 1949 Buick Roadmaster my Dad had, I remember riding in the back seat probably when I was 4 or so?

This is one of those times that I really miss my dad who passed a little over two years ago. He would have been able to answer this question for me since I have no idea. I was born in 1962 so it would have to be an early/mid-60's Impala or Caprice. My grandpa on on my mother's side was a Chevy dealer so we got new cars several times a year.

My grandfather had a brand new '56 Chevrolet Bel Air. It was black with a black and silver interior. It was a four door hardtop with air conditioning and power windows. To this day I have never seen another one with those options.

My dads 66 Buick Wildcat is the first car I remember riding in. Some years later he got my favorite car he owned. 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1. Brown with 4 speed. Wish we would have kept it.

My uncle's mid 60s Lincoln or a early 70s Catalina. I didn't own a car with AC until mid 90s.

Too bad I didn't know you 3 years ago. Was a triple black vert. He bought it in 1964. I sold it to an Olds collector in Chicago. Broke my heart.
