Here, but occasionally There.
First one I remember is a 64(?) 4 door Impala, light blue. Next up was a 71 Dodge Dart, harvest gold, slant 6.
My uncle had a 67 GTO convertible, Hurst shifter and crager mags. That was a cool car as a pre-teen to ride around in.

I would almost say that I got cheated after I came back from serving in Pakistan in the late '60's. Mom and Dad and Grandma got together to buy me a newer car for when I returned. They traded my 1960 Ford Falcon for a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500. It was a good car and lasted us for many years, but soon after they presented the car to me, they told me that they also considered a late-'60's GTO. In reality, I was probably better off with the Ford. It at least had a little more room inside being a 4-door.

52 Hudson Hornet. The only thing I remember about it is when Dad did a Dukes of Hazard jump over some steeply elevated railroad tracks at highway speeds at night time and the impact of coming down. Totaled it out.
Remember parents talking about it.

I remember when I was very young, breaking the rear window out in my father's 50 some panel truck with a snowball. Man was he pissed.

The oldest car I remember was a 1964 lesabre. It may have been the first car I ever thought was ‘cool’. Dad put checked white walls with a red line tires on it. It had Silver vinyl interior. The seats, door panels, everything

I can't remember the year or model, but I remember it was either a Mercury or a Ford with the rear window that retracted to supposedly allow air circulation. After looking for a picture, I'm guessing it was a '57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser.

Pontiacs, Catalina's and Grand Prix. My Grandmother drove a Rambler with a push button transmission. My first car was a 1970 GTO. Man, I wish I still had it....
