My 1960 Dodge...in pink!

This post is by reader Kunzog: I never had a car while I was in high school like a lot of my friends. My older brother had gotten in several accidents with my parents car and then later his own so they would not let me even get a drivers license. I did not get my license until I was in the Navy in Newport RI in 1966. I came home on leave to take my road test. I tried to buy a 1957 Chrysler in Newport but due to my age, state laws and insurance regulations, I could not purchase it. I told my dad that I wanted to buy a car and he said he would find me one. He later said he found and purchased a car for me and I eagerly awaited my next trip home from Newport to upstate NY. The day finally arrived and I hitch hiked home as I did many times before to find my 1960 Dodge 4 dr awaiting me. Dad didnt tell me but it was Pink! Oh well he was color blind. It was a beautiful car. It had a slant 6 225 ci engine with push button torque flite auto trans, am radio and a heater. What more could a young sailor want. Classified as a compact car but I could stretch out in the rear seat and I an 5'10. I put a lot of miles on that car on the Mass turnpike and NY Thruway in two years I was in Rhode Island. I love those big fin cars, wish I still owned it. The attached pic is a Phoenix, mine was the less equipped Seneca.
