David Hermelin

Real estate developer

My first car was a 1951
Chevy that I purchased in
1953. It was a great car, and
I had lots of fun. Gas cost 19
cents, and everyone paid their
own share of gas.

Myrna Partrich

Co-owner of The Workout Co.

The price tag on my first car
was $1,400. It was a white
1960 Comet with red interior.
The salesman said it was in
excellent condition because it
was owned by a little old lady.
At age 16, I paid for the car
with money from my after-
school job at Northland where
I was a bookkeeper and gift
wrapper. My dad and I work-
ed a joint venture agreement,
which said that my did would
pay for the insurance and I
would pay for the gas and
repairs.
I drove the car four fun-
filled years. I had a mean-
ingful relationship with that
car. I had to reason with it in
the morning to get it started
and wait patiently after it
threw a temper tantrum and
overheated. I loved that car;
I treated it like a child.
When it finally died, I was
20 years old and married.
Spencer and I pushed it
across the street to a gas sta-
tion and junked it for $50
dollars. I've had a number of
cars since, but none as special
or meaningful as that joint-
venture with my father on my
first car.

Mary Tamaroff

Owner of Tamaroff Buick

My first car was a 1939
Packard. It drank a lot of gas.

Gerald Greenwald

Chairman of Chrysler Motors Corp.

Our first car was a 1954
Chevy that we named
Matilda. We were still driving
it when my husband started
working for Ford.

Dell Warner

Publicist for WJBK-TV-2

My first car was a 1939
Mercury Roadster with a
rumble seat. My husband and
I would go for Sunday rides to
Belle Isle. I specifically
remember Sunday, December
7, 1941, when we were at the
hockey game at Olympia
Stadium and first heard
about the Pearl Harbor bom-
bing. We then drove'for a ride
along Belle Isle. When we
stopped the car and got out,
there were a number of other
cars. We were all silent. From
then on, I hated to go for Sun-
day rides on Belle Isle.

Kitty Wagner

Farmington Hills Facial Salon
and Spa Owner

Our first car was a 1948
Dodge that we only used on
the weekends. During a
Detroit bus strike, in order to
get to work, I had to drive the
car one Tuesday morning. Be-
ing a novice driver, I had dif-
ficulty shifting, ran through a
red light, and scraped the leg
of a traffic cop, knocking him
down. When I got to my
destination I was relieved.
Later on my way home, I was
determined to be extra
careful, but was rear-ended by
another novice driver and
totaling my car. Today, I'm
quite adept at driving but I
