Wow, I just read the the article in the 6/1 - 6/7/08 American Profile and I'm amazed that I'm not the only person still owning his first car. I'll have 30 years with my '66 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible in July (ironically, my 30 year high school reunion is in in July, too!). My dad bought the car for me for all of $650. Had the car painted in 1985 to it's current red (it was brown, originally). Had the front and back seats reupholstered in 1987. I've driven this car all over the Midwest, though less so in recent years. My wife and I used to take it to the local Dog & Suds and then over to the outdoor theatre for our free admission (they would let 1970 and older cars in for free!). Theatre turned into a strip mall about eight years ago, but we still go to the Dog & Suds!
