Doug's car in high school was this 1937 Packard 120CD. It was his daily driver, plus made for great road trips. He bought it at age 15 for $240 from a barn in PA. He owned it from 1964-1992.

How great! 

When he mentioned it, the vague memory of someone telling me about a cool classic like this being their high school car, and I couldn't recall if it was a conversation I'd had with Doug, or someone else... but when trying to find that story, I did come across the original story... Gary had a 31 Chrysler in high school, he paid 500 for!  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2020/11/in-1961-gary-had-two-cars-to-chose-from.html
