Pretty ambitious! Reminds me of Lemko buying his Fleetwood at a young age. I wonder what the dealer thought of a youngin' buying that car, and if your friends/peers thought the same (they probably did about the Lincolns too, as some of mine have thought about some of my cars).

If I recall correctly my Mom co-signed the very small loan on the Taurus and that history was enough to get me approved for the 88 on my own. I also remember getting a Sears and JCPenney card right at 18 to help build credit. I think they had $250 limits at first.

Everyone knew I was part of the “yacht club”. Heck my first ride was an 89 Grand Marquis. I don’t remember much of buying that 88, other than the Taurus had a ton of problems and it had to go. When I leased the 2003 Avalon I did have a comment that I was the youngest guy they ever sold one to.

Fin, neither of our Corsicas was the hatch.
