My '68 442 convertible was bought by my (still) best friend in June of 1968 at Dave Cross Motors in Lee's Summit, MO, a Kansas City suburb. We chased lots of girls in that car, and caught a few. My friend drove it as his daily driver until about 1973, when he bought a VW bug for his daily driver and used the Olds for recreational fun only. He kept it until 2013. He never got married or had kids, and told me that he'd willed the car to me if anything happened to him, and I was to pass it on to my son (medical school and then dental school) when I died. It was last tagged in 1985. In 2013, he called me and told me he was tired of storing it, and to come get it, which I did.

HE said he got tired of people pestering him about selling it every time he left the garage door open when he got out the lawn mower to mow the grass. When my son and I were loading it on the U-Haul trailer, a guy came by on his bicycle and said he'd tried to buy the Olds for his 16-year-old son's first car, and was told not only,"NO", but "HELL NO". HE asked what we were doing with the car, and we told him we were taking it to the salvage yard, as my buddy was tired of people asking him about the car. The guy about pooped his pants. I refused to tell him which salvage yard we were taking it to, as my buddy was simply tired of people asking him about the car and he simply wanted rid of it. I let the guy get crazy for about 30 minutes and then told him that my friend just gave me the car. He pooped his pants again.

I brought it home (from Arlington, TX to Coffeyville, KS) got it running (I took the GM training course, and was a factory-trained Buick mechanic by Sept of 1967, before I went to college and law school), replacing all the stuff that went stale in the 28 years it sat idle. It still has the factory original paint and interior, and has 95k miles on it. I'll never sell it, and my son knows he can never sell it. When I picked up the Olds, I gave my buddy a baseball signed my every member of the 1963 Chicago Cubs that my uncle got for me when he lived in Mesa, AZ, where the Cubs conducted spring training. I'd say I made a pretty good trade.

I’ll answer this a little differently. Have had many cars over the years, from daily driver’s to fun cars. But my first new car, a black ‘87 Buick Lesabre T-type, has been a sore point for over 3 decades. It got trashed. Partially my fault, but also due to door dings and hit and run type stuff while parked (I had it my senior year at college then first year of grad school). Some a-hole keyed it. Highway rock chips. Carelessly hitting things with its low front air dam. On and on. Was really an eye opener to see it go from perfect to horrid in 2 years. I finally traded it because I couldn’t bear looking at it. Black shows all those imperfections the worst.

Ive looked for one of these on and off for 20 years. Passed on some so-so cars. Passed on a couple too-expensive nice ones too. Finally found a near mint example for the right price about a month ago. This one’s an ‘88, but near identical to my
old one but for the better (first year for the 3800) better motor and lack of two-tone Grand National-like seats that today strike me as hokey anyway.

Love driving this thing. Brings back a lot
Of memories (some bad, as mentioned above) but mostly good. Not w I have an opportunity to keep it nice, since it’ll be garaged and kept out of harm’s way. I’m also older and more careful than I was when I was in my early 20s. Of all t he car's I've owned, this was the one I wanted back the most, and that includes my old '66 442 convertible.

Here's the full list of cars I've owned (excluding a couple winter beaters owned very briefly and all cars owned jointly with my wife); bold means I still own it:

1. 1974 Chrysler New Yorker sedan
2. 1977 Chevy Nova coupe (straight six, 3 on the tree car)
3. 1979 Buick Regal
4. 1987 Buick Lesabre T-type
5. 1989 Buick Century coupe "T"
6. 1989 GMC Suburban
7. 1970 Cutlass convertible
8. 1972 Cutlass Supreme
9. 1991 Pontiac Sunbird Convertible
10. 1993 Ford Bronco
11. 1996 Ford Bronco
12. 1966 442 convertible (4 speed, tri-carb (believed added) car)
13. 1990 Oldsmobile 88 FE3 coupe
14. 1965 Oldsmobile Jetstar I 4 speed
15. 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
16. 1967 442 convertible 4 speed
17. 2000 Cadillac Eldorado (#1 biggest POS I ever owned, BAR NONE)
18. 2013 VW Beetle (still going strong)
19. 1973 Triumph Stag 4 speed w / electric OD
20. 1988 Buick Lesabre T-type

67 442. Slow project, bought in 05.

Some of my family's cars.
78 CJ7, I learned to drive on it as a woods vehicle. Frame rusted in half after sitting 20 years.
67 Bronco, another project, fate TBD
86 Bronco, we bought new and put 215k on it and sold it.
90 Grand Marquis, my Mom's car. It was a tank.
71 Corvette, my Dad bought it and a Triumph Bonneville in 71 on the same day in the Air Force. Kept the Corvette.

How has everyone owned so many damn cars? I've only had five:
67 Cutlass Supreme town sedan
89 Crown Vic police
89 Taurus sedan
72 Cutlass town sedan
18 Fiesta sedan

 

Ages 16-22 while living at home and sharing with other family members:

1995 Mustang - my parents car that I spent a good amount of time driving my first few years on the road
1995 Ford Contour - the first car that was bought for me used by my parents in about 2001. I would split my time between this and the Mustang until my sister got her license and quickly crashed this Contour
In college, I drove a 2002 and 2005 Chevy Cavalier...

Since the end of college/when they truly became my own cars:

The first car i bought new and for myself was a 2006 Mazda 3 base model. No frills at all but i loved this car.

I sold it to a friend in 2014 and got the 2012 BMW 128i I have today. Easily the best performance of all of these cars so far but also needy in terms of my money.

I added the 1983 Delta 88 just over a year ago. It has a few issues but nothing costly and I love taking this thing out. It splits miles with my BMW.

Cars my wife has had in our time together and I've driven a fair amount:

2005 Chrysler Sebring and 2015 Acura RDX

Cars my parents had while I've been around but before I was of driving age:

Dad: 82 Mazda RX7, 89 Camaro, then the 1995 mustang referenced above

Mom: 76 Cutlass, 88 Caravan, 94 Ford Aerostar

Ok, I’ll play. Some of theses cars I bought for parts, some I bought to sell and make a buck, some I bought just because. I’m sure I will forget some, and in no particular order

1964 Nove

74 Córdoba (Rich Corinthian leather!)

my current 69 Cutlass

75 Comet

70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 77 cutlass

78 Granada

68 Cutlass parts car

69 442 (wrecked BAD!!) parts car

78 Grand Prix

78,79,80, 81,83, 85,86, Cutlass

83 Delta 88 (moms car, learned to drive with this)

85 Delta 98

75 Pontiac Sunbird

81 Monte Carlo

87 442 T top (would LOVE to know where this one is today!!)) ex wife got this one, sold it 2 years later.

3 different 87 Cutlass, one was wrecked bad in the rear.

95 GMC 1/2 ton stepside (first ever new vehicle)

1999 Ram Off Road truck

69 Vista Cruiser wagon. Parts car

2001 Ram 3/4 4x4 5.9 diesel. Last of the old body style, last of the noisy 24 valve before the new common rail engine)

90 GMC S-15. 4.3 “HYBRID” , it burned gas AND oil.

93 Buick celebrity

81 GMC truck. 455 Olds powered (technically my dads truck). Belonged to my grandfather. The 5.7 Olds diesel quit right before my grandfather died in 91. My dad bought it from my grandmother in 95, told me to get it running. Since I hoard 455 engines, that’s what went in it!!

2006 Ram 2500 Mega Cab 4x4 diesel. Current truck

2001 Neon (my beater drive to work car)

98 Sebring. Bought it with a junk engine. Plan was to put an engine in it for #2 stepdaughter first car. Found out the 2.7 v6 engine is very expensive used, because most of them ARE junk. If you find a good one, your going to pay big bucks, and pray that it doesn’t become junk. Sold the new tires what were on the car, sent the rest to that big scrapyard in the sky.

 

Just remembered another car I owned. It's hell to get old. I owned this car also and it would make the list as 33 cars total (unless I remember others....LOL!)

1988 Chevy Celebrity Eurosport – Tech IV 4 cylinder (was Dad’s company car, bought at 2 years old with 55,000 Highway miles on it in great shape)

 

I've owned quite a few also. Here are a few pics of some of them. The 69 Chevelle SS was my second car, 396 convertible. 70 Roadrunner, 65 Buick Riviera, 71 Buick GSX tribute.

 

Some great cars on this thread. Just added another to my list. 67 Cougar. Always liked the look!

 

Here is a list of the convertibles I have owned, as best as I can remember. But I could not possibly count the total cars. I did keep a count for one 12 year period and it was 220 something cars in those years. Then decided it probably wasn't wise to have a list at all.
