Since we are on the topic of first cars... 1976 Chevy Malibu Classic, one year older than I was. Mine, however, was all silver and I ran it into the ground. I beat that car all to hell, driving over rutted dirt roads and all kinds of shenanigans. But I do recall it basically being a tank and it had a surprisingly spacious interior, especially the backseat... not that I took advantage of that, mind you, goody two-shoes that I was.
