My first car was a 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88. I bought it from a neighbor when I returned home from the Navy in 1964 for $250 ($2256 in todays dollars) with 90K on the odometer. I drove it until the mid 1970s when body rust and a bad transmission finally killed it with over 250K on the odometer. It was a fairly reliable car for its time and was undoubtedly the best automotive bargain I ever had.
