1962 Hillman Super-Minx convertible - a mustard yellow rust-bucket with red interior. In my senior year, spring of '74, I paid $50 for what was then the cheapest car in the Washington Post Classifieds.
Patched up the rust holes and the leaky exhaust, replaced an axle bearing and the driveshaft.
The seller's tags, with several months left, were still on the car. So I sneaked occasional rides out of my parent's driveway until they finally caught me and read me the riot act!
Sold it to a lawyer from Maryland for $275.
But realistically, I never had garage space to store any classics. So it would've eventually biodegraded in the backyard or a scrap-yard!
I still wonder what ever happened to it?

Happy Motoring, Mark
