My dad brought home a 1973 Centurion, used, in 1976. Mom hated it but I loved it. I was 16 at the time; just got my drivers license, after school and weekends it was mine to drive. In the summer months, I would fill it with my friends and drive the hour down to the Jersey shore - Wildwood. Or out into the Pinelands to keg parties. I drove it all through high school until I got my first car freshman year of college - a used 1973 AMC Javelin
My mom had 1 just like that (hard top). I learned how to drive in that car. If you can drive a big, long car like that, you car driver anything, including a 18 wheeler
