My first new car was a 1970 Buick Skylark, 350, 2 barrel. Loved that car. I kept it until I started to feel that it was not dependable enough to keep. I had it when I met my wife, used it on our honeymoon, took her the the hospital to have our first baby and again to have our second. But, we lived far enough away from the hospitals and had two small children, one an infant and I just stopped trusting it to work for me like I needed it too. When I think back on it. It was amazing how little those cars had for extras. Just AM radio, crank windows, bench seats, no AC, no tinted glass. Almost barren of everything that I now expect to be standard on all cars. Still loved it and managed to take a car that at the time had an expected life span of about 75K miles and ran it 125K. Still hated to see it go.
