    A bit, but I had a 68 in HS...Easiest way to tel a 68 from a 67 is the vent windows.

    The ability to differentiate a car make, model and year by the back windows, even if you've had one

    Oh, got ya. Well, see, I'm not totally sure on the 'vert you posted in the pic, but I THINK it's a 1970 Barracuda. I know it's a 'cuda, just not sure of the year. I grew up when cars of those years (60-70s) were still pretty cheap. For example, I bought my 68 camaro in about 82-83 for about $400 or so.

    I know it isn't a '71 Barracuda/Cuda, 'cause those ones had 4 headlights! It used to be a sport, identifying cars by the year. It gets harder after the 80's.

    Now, I'd be hard pressed to discern a 2000 Honda Civic from a 2002.

    Def NOT a 69. 1969 was the last year of the old bodystyle. My vote is a 70 still.


    Here's a pic of the first vehicle I ever financed..1986 Chevy S10, pic taken in 86/87, Lackland AFB, South Dakota.

    ok time to add my car to this list . . . .

    this is my 1st and present Auto . . . its a '00 Ford Focus 1.6. nothing special but not too shabby either. so far it has survived 5 Wales Rally events and countless offroad adventures in the name of motorsport.

    i doubt theres much left in the thing as its getting close to 11 years old and starting to show it. but as long as i can help it, it will never get sold. ive heard so many people say they wish they had never got rid of their 1st auto, and i have plans for it! only mods so far are tints and a decent stereo

    First vehicle. A 1977 Ford Courier. That thing used to backfire like a gunshot 30 seconds after it was shut off.



    Current vehicle. 2010 Ford Ranger. I traded in my 2008 F150 after the gulf spill. I panicked and imagined $2 per liter gasoline.

    I snagged both photos off the net. I'm too lazy to go take pictures right now.
