I think I've got you all beaten for pure lameness of my first car. It had:
It was just old and lame. A 1959 Ford Anglia. AKA the "100E".
Yep, a Brit car by an American company, but in left hand drive for the American market. Powered (if I dare use that word) by an 1100cc flathead. 0-60 in "Have you got a couple of minutes and we'll talk about it?" I'll bet it cranked out all of about 40hp. HAH! I just looked it up. I overrated it. 36bhp.

3 speed on the floor with a shift handle about 38 feet tall. Suspension felt like it was a couple of 1" iron pipes where the springs should have been.
Originally purchased used by my oldest brother, it passed down the chain until I got it. Oh, well. I only paid fifty bucks for it.
- ZERO cool factor
- ZERO performance factor
- ZERO vintage factor

During this period the old Anglia was available as the 103E Popular, touted as the cheapest car in the world.
