1971 Eldon Powerride

Eldon Powerride similar to my childhood car

Maybe I should consider my Eldon Powerride as my first car.

2001 Dodge Stratus R/T

2001 Dodge Stratus R/T Inferno Red Tinted Pearlcoat

Story:
David's first car. We were looking at cars in our price range, including a sad Cavalier, a couple of Saturns, a Bonneville and and Alero. The Bonneville was at least looking reliable, when we saw this on the way home. Didn't think it would be in our price range, because it was a nice car, and spotless. Had just been reduced in price, and fit in our price range.

Later learned that a Dodge was David's preference.

Memories:

Tim: The first car  I paid for was the 1964 Renault Dauphine similar to the picture shown. It cost 15 dollars even. Dad fixed it up as I recall and painted it Gray with a spray bomb. He drove it back and forth to the station. I called it mine,as I remember, but he drove it. When the starter went out,being  practical as always,Dad pressed into service a feature still built into rear engine European cars in the 60's...the hand crank starter.  As I recall,this car met an untimely end when it was rear ended on Leonard Street hill on his way home from work.  The insurance company settled a claim,totaling out the car for 50.00. This was considered a profitable operation.  The facts of the above story is true to the best of my recollection ...and subject to edit by anyone in the family with more accurate recall than I have at this age.  TC
