MY FIRST CAR-'52 CHEVROLET

In 1957 while in graduate school at Washington State University, I purchased my very first car.

 It was a 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe.

 Its color was two tone with the body being white and the hard top black.

This 5-year old car was purchased with monies saved from my WSU scholarship.

 In 1958, I departed Washington State and headed home to Baton Rouge, LA

 That meant driving my '52 Chevrolet 2700 miles: Pullman, WA to Baton Rouge, LA

 It took 3 days of driving the coupe at about 900 miles per day

 I did not stop at any hotels on the way, just pulled over to road side for a nap

 The first stop was in Eastern Utah. The second stop was in Amarillo, TX

 I retained ownership of the car until I joined the US Military to fulfil a military obligation based on my ROTC commission as a 2^nd Lieutenant

 The car was sold while stationed at Camp Irwin, CA and replaced with a new Pontiac Bonneville. That car color was maroon
